Keep The Fire Buning

On most of my trips to Vancouver, Canada I have come away with some solid finds. Out of all the records I have purchased up north, probably the most satisfying purchase was a used copy of King Sporty & The Root Rockers' 1979 Get On Down/ Fire Keep On Burning promo twelve-inch. At the time I had never even heard of either track, however the owner of a great shop simply called Records picked it out and played it for me after seeing the other records I was looking to buy. Even though I usually pass, for numerous reasons, on many of the records that store clerks try to encourage me to buy, I was completely blown away by both tracks on this twelve-inch single. After getting back in the states and doing a little research on the record and songs I found that the A-side track "Get On Down" is one of the most sought after disco tracks by deejays and collectors. The B-side track is certainly no slouch as the entire track is backed by a solid repetitive funky groove that can also work nicely on the dance floor. Now that I own a copy of the single and have learned how difficult the record is to find, I am very happy that I didn't pass on such a gem. On another note, I am currently working on an edit of "Fire Keep On Burning" for Cabana Disco vol.5. Anyways, until then enjoy this original version.
