One of the greatest records, in my opinion, is Johnny Hammond's funky 1975 jazz album Gears. This album nicely blends together jazz, funk, soul, and disco together to produce a masterpiece that many music lovers can enjoy. I was excited about finding a used original copy of the record about a year ago, and it remains to be one my personal all-time favorites that currently resides in my collection. This is exactly the reason why I was just as excited to see one of my favorite "newer" disco groups, being Faze Action, recently remix one of the standout tracks, "Fantasy", from this record. For me, the combination of the two coudn't be any better. The good people over at Juno released this remix just about a year ago. With this remix, Faze Action does a nice job combining there signature "disco-house" groove to the original funky jazz-fusion classic. The Lee brothers that make up Faze Action seem to always produce amazing music and edits, and the same goes for here as there remix of "Fantasy" continues to be a personal favorite. Overall, it's an amazing and refreshing new take on an all-time classic. Johnny Hammond - Fantasy (Faze Action Disco Edit)

Wow I hadn't dropped in for a while but it looks like I came back at the right time. Keep up the great work, it's appreciated! Cheers KL
I prefer the original production by the amazing Mizell brothers. They were so innovative in the mid-seventies!
I also prefer the original, however I also do enjoy this newer version. Nothing will match the originals that exist on the "Gears" record, at least in my opinion.
Thanks For this,nice little Disco Edit
thanks for posting I'm a big fan of faze action but this missed this remix and not familiar with OG either.
Beats the original hands down IMO - anything that extends that wonderful intro is good by me - Thanks.
