Reggae artist NOEL WILLIAMS — better known by his alias KING SPORTY — sees his 1982 robotic disco-boogie cut "Music Street" reissued! His partner, the "Queen of Miami Soul" BETTY WRIGHT, also took part in the production. Out on 〈EMOTIONAL RESCUE〉, purveyors of niche, top-quality reissue work.

A Jamaican-born reggae musician who studied under STUDIO 1 engineer Coxsone Dodd, NOEL WILLIAMS was active from the late '70s through the '80s in disco-funk and the early electro scene, later contributing to the dawn of Miami bass. Originally released on 〈TASHAMBA〉, a spin-off of his own label 〈KONDUKO〉. "Music Street" (sample1) is electronic boogie built on a rushing synth bass, dotted with spacey synth stabs and vocoder. Also includes "Music Street (Universal Cave Discomix)" (sample3), an extended arrangement that pushes the striking high-register synth riff to the fore! (Original Japanese text by Akie)
