Last year
Suss'd Records released,
Salsoul Presents: Disco Trance & Cosmic Flavas, a compilation of
Salsoul Records' more left-field releases that successfully blended together early electronica and cosmic disco. Some of the standout tracks on this compilation are
Orlando Riva Sound's 1977 classic "
Moonboots",
Judy Cheeks' 1978 club cut, "
Mellow Lovin'", and
Greg wilson's re-edit of
Kebekelektrik's 1978 italo classic "
War Dance". My favorite track on this solid compilation has to go to
First Choice's "
Great Expectations" which originally appeared on the 1979 classic LP
Hold Your Horses. During that same year,the song also was released as the B-Side to First Choice's most well-known single, "
Double Cross". With all of First Choice's classic disco hits, sometime I think this amazing dancefloor gem gets lost in the pack. Overall I believe
Salsoul Presents: Disco Trance & Cosmic Flavas is an amazing compilation that puts together some hard-to-find dance mixes of some hard-to-find Salsoul classics. With so many disco compilations out there, sometimes it's hard to know if there worth the money, this one definitely is.

War dance is my personal favorite of the two..just moved back to Sacramento this week after a 3 week hitch hiking trip up and down Japan.
What, if any, dance spots and record shops do you recommend?
