Wow! My god the 70's ... disco chic, huh ... I don't think I'll ever get tired of the ultra suggestive disco artwork of this decade, but damn this italian released disco 45 is almost pornographic. The old addage "never judge a book by its cover" maybe true, but not when it comes to the records of the 70's. You're not as likely to be misled - if the cover looks funky, chances are the tunes are funky.
This 45 features an ultra deep and super sexy b-side banger called "Double Action". The mysterious record was produced by Italy's Green Light label in 1976 by a group called Fantastic Soul Invention. I tried to dig up as much info about this group that I could, but found almost nothing. The track, however was one that I swore I've heard before ... sure enough as I took a closer look into my disco 12's, I found a UK pressing of a group called the Sarr Band, which had a b-side of the same title. Ahah! It's the same track, slightly different dub.
The mystery of this 45 can only be speculated on, but I believe its just an italian bootleg that they labeled the Fantastic Soul Invention. (I've seen this before on some Portuguese and Spanish disco 12's). They probably didn't even license the tune, some straight Italian thievery.
You gotta love this track, from its cover, to its history, to its sound. Its a dance floor heater with a heavy groove and a chorus thats as suggestive as its cover ... "double action with me - I'm trying to do the deed". Thats right she's talking about a menage' ... yes sir a disco threesome.
Critical Rating: X-rated Boogie!
