[MP3] Alex And His Soul Messengers – Hail To Guyana from the Best of Disco Demands (NSFW art)

[audio: http://dl.soundowl.com/2j02.mp3]

Album compiled by Al Kent. Had to post this with the Guyana connect. Peep the science:

“The Disco Demands series started sometime in the early 2000s – I couldn’t give you an exact year because it didn’t feel like a big deal, so I never noted it. I simply wanted to put out a compilation of some records I really liked and maybe make a little of the money back I was spending on them. Buy some food and stuff.

There’s always been Disco comps around of course but there was rarely anything that strayed too far from the standards.. the same songs kept appearing over and over again, or the comps would feature records you could pick up anywhere for little money. I’ve never seen the point in that. I gave up judging a record on its value or rarity a long time ago but surely there’s more to disco than Exodus, Martin Circus, Mass Production and all those Salsoul, West End and bloody Prelude records.”

BTW: that’s a bad chick on the comp album cover art too. Like wow, seriously….
