In the mid-70s, Bob Shad’s cult New York Jazz label Mainstream Records turned to the burgeoning underground Disco scene and released a handful of great singles produced by the likes of Tommy Stewart, Jimmy Roach or Bert DeCoteaux. Featuring artists from the early Disco hotbed including South Side Coalition, Crystal Image, Chocolate Syrup and Three Ounces of Love, these singles, accompanied the rise of the New York club and block party culture that was going to revolutionise the musical landscape a few years later. Most of the singles officially reissued here on vinyl for the first time, with Three Ounces of Love's Disco Man full mix previously unissued vinyl. By Colorsound Studio in Paris, with liner notes Charles Waring.
