“Glistening guitar riffs and warm, deep disco grooves — a proper 80s soulful classic.”
Why I Stock This Record
This is a lovely 1980s US Disco classic from Ethel Beatty, produced by Roy Ayers. The standout track for me is “I Know You Care”, which I regularly play when I want a deep disco number full of glistening guitar riffs, smooth chords and those warming, soulful grooves.
It has a rich, heartfelt feel that sets it apart from a lot of disco from that era. It works beautifully in deeper, more soulful parts of a set while still keeping that classic disco energy.
If you’re into 80s US Disco or soulful house-leaning grooves, this Expansion release is a sought-after gem and a must-have for any serious vinyl collector or DJ. Clean copy and plays strong every time.
Review
Expansion Records' continues to delve into the bulging archives of Roy Ayers' influential Uno Melodic Records imprint, which issued some superb jazz-funk, soul and boogie throughout the 1980s. Here they offer a new pressing of Ethel Beatty's sought-after, Roy Ayers' produced 1981 double A-side. For some reason they've reversed the running order, with side A offering original flipside 'It's Your Love', a Dee Dee Bridgwater co-authored slow jam that's soulful, seductive and sumptuous. Over on the reverse you'll find the more celebrated ''I Know You Care', a deep disco number full of glistening guitar riffs, smooth chords and warming grooves. In a word: luscious
