RUBY JAMES - SUMMERTIME TIME

SUMMERTIME TIME was released on the mighty RAK label in 1976 as the B-Side of a DISCO/NORTHERN SOUL tune called YOU BURN A HOLE IN MY SOUL.It was co-written and produced by BIDDU who is best known for his work with KARL DOUGLAS,JIMMY JAMES and TINA CHARLES. The song is a solid rock number that falls somewhere between the ROCK/SOUL of NUTBUSH CITY LIMITS by IKE AND TINA TURNER and the GLAM STOMP of CAN THE CAN by SUZI QUATRO.Pure DANCE FLOOR GOLD...Pure DENIM DISCO!

THE DISCO KID - ROLLER COASTER/GUITAR'D AND FEATHER'D

Mickie Most's RAK records dominated the mid 70's UK pop charts,but THE DISCO KID 45 is one of the labels releases that few people would have heard at the time.Despite the records lack of success both sides are fine GLAM infused GUITAR INSTRUMENTALS which were recorded with the intention of keeping feet on the dance floor.

The A-Side ''ROLLER COASTER'' is slightly reminiscent of AREA CODE 615's ''STONE FOX CHASE'' and features some nice COUNTRY inspired guitar work.





The flip side ''GUITAR'D AND FEATHER'D'' is even better.The GLAM BACK-BEAT is more emphasized on this and some rockin' SAXAPHONE work beefs up the guitar line to great effect.The result sounds like DUANE EDDY jamming with the SUZI QUATRO band.





The record was writen and produced by BILL MARTIN and PHILL COULTER who were doing great business with the BAY CITY ROLLERS at the time.

The identity of the GUITAR MAN is almost certainly JOE MORETTI as the name MORETTI is co-credited as writing the A-Side of the disc.Joe was session man with an impressive CV that goes back to the early days of UK ROCK 'N' ROLL.

He played guitar on VINCE TAYLOR'S ''BRAND NEW CADILLAC'' and JOHNNY KIDD & THE PIRATES ''SHAKIN ALL OVER'' as well as many more hits over the decades to come.
