plastic soul by professor eddy

in the late sixties someone called soul music played by white musicians, like mick jagger and david bowie, ‘plastic soul’. in the seventies some angry people said that disco was ‘plastic soul’, because of its artificial beats and electronic instruments. this is a tribute to those ‘plastic soul’ days of the seventies and eighties, when new influences entered the soul scene and became the soil for house music later on…

01 larry page orchestra – erotic soul (1976)
02 soccer – come and get it on [12″] (1979)
03 nightlife unlimited – peaches & prunes (1980)
04 bobbi humphrey – please, set me at ease (1975)
05 hummingbird – heaven knows (where you’ve been) (1976)
06 fantastic aleems – hooked on your love [12″] (1981)
07 afrika bambataa & soul sonic force – looking for the perfect beat [12″] (1983)
08 nairobi & the awesome foursome – funky soul makossa (1982)
09 yazoo – situation (1982)
10 planet patrol – play at your own risk [12″] (1983)
11 abc – be near me [munich disco mix) (1985)

    It’s always good to hear Bobbi Humphrey in a mix, she sets me at ease… ;-) Again a great soul-disco mix by the prof! Hummingbird is a name to remember, very good (blue-eyed?) soul.

    Thanks for your comment, always nice to read! I discoverd Hummingbird recently. Don’t know much about them, to be honest. Bobbi Humphrey is the most sensual flute player around!

go on, leave a cheeky comment...
