Under The Influence Volume Eight (A Collection Of Rare Boogie & Disco)
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
Woody Bianchi brings sophisticated taste to the eighth volume of Z Records' 'Under The Influence,' focusing on rare boogie, disco, and soul. The selections span artists like Arlana, Barbara Hall, and the Ipanema Brothers, with Bianchi providing a slick edit of 'Rio De Janeiro.' The sound is smooth and refined—lush arrangements, tight grooves, and soulful vocals that prioritize musicianship. An extended Coco York track showcases the depth possible within soul music, while Len Rideout's 'Someone Special' brings understated sophistication. These records work equally well in intimate settings or on a proper dancefloor. The boogie influence connects to 70s and 80s soul traditions. Original pressings of many tracks remain hard to find, making this a valuable resource for serious collectors seeking quality and rarity.
