Rare Pleasure – Let Me Down Easy (1976)

In 1976, I was 12.

Weening myself off Hot Chocolate, Elton John, Wings and Chicago …..

A year later on , it was The Clash, The Pistols, The Jam, and  20 of Another Kind.

Bands that I still love today.

But, at the time, I had a sneaking love for Chic, Sister Sledge, Odyssey, KC and the Sunshine Band et al. Now, I am happy to admit this affection – some of the greatest records ever made.

In later years I came to appreciate that there was a disco “underground” akin to the post-punk underground of the “Desperate Bicycles”, “Diagram Brothers” and “Basement 5″ etc.

So, check “Rare Pleasure” from 1976; killer bass, strings and vocals.

One of the greatest records of all time!
