This is my type of music........pre 85 is some of my favorite years.

Tracks like

YouTube - Chip E - Time to Jack(1985)

YouTube - Terrence Woodard - Jack The Box (Vocal)

YouTube - Model 500 No UFO's (Vocal)

YouTube - Knight Action - Single Girl

YouTube - Quando Quango - "Love Tempo" (1983)

YouTube - Laid Back - White Horse

YouTube - Kym - Give Me The Dance(Award) (Funk)

YouTube - Night Moves - Transdance

YouTube - Freestyle - Don't Stop The Rock

plus soooo many more all of which I have got on their originals. House kicked off 1984 with Jess Saunders On& On, Z Factor fantasy, Knight Action etc. Listen to some of the tracks before 84..they are house through and through. America and especially Chicago ruled in the early 80s although Italy and Germany were producing some realy cool tracks, only in Chicago did they get truely mixed up.

Some of my favorites and very much wanted

YouTube - Powerline - Double Journey - Prelude Records 1981

YouTube - Loose Joints - Is It All Over My Face (Femal Vocal)

YouTube - Moskwa TV - Tekno Talk 12"

YouTube - Stopp - "I'm Hungry (Caramba Mix)" (1983)


Oh you want early house sounds try Eddie Grant, Timewarp....1977 and genius!!

YouTube - The coach house rhythm section - Time warp

Thank god for WBMX and my contacts in Chicago!!
