Those familiar with the roots of House music know that Disco, Funk and Soul played a vital role in its development and evolvement, and they are also aware that Chicago was its birthplace. House music may be the focal point of Chicago's dance music scene today, but the city always had much more to offer, and this truly unparalleled album sub-titled "Underground Disco from the Windy City" looks at the early stages of the city's dance era, featuring lots of rare in demand material which got selected by Mr. Peabody Records, a record shop in southside Chicago founded by true lovers of music who devote their time on nothing but the best in music. This album gives an incomparable insight to the local dance music scene of Chicago of said era and features many jewels that never made it outside of the city and thus will not be known to most of us. A real treasure for the music lovers we are, we gotta be grateful to both Mr. Peabody Records and BBE Records for putting this compilation together and making those timeless tunes available to a global audience for the first time. |
