Athens Of The North - Cat No: ATH182
- updated:2024-07-12
Wobbly-yet-charming falsettos, a bracing horn section, and a floating, weightless feel that hits just the right spot — the ultra-rare 1982 debut single by Coast to Coast, a minor soul & disco group out of Queens, NY active from the late 1970s, gets a 7-inch reissue on ATHENS OF THE NORTH (limited edition).
Track List
Features the killer disco-soul A-side "Paula Marie" (sample 1), an irreplaceable gem where sweet, fresh mellowness and down-home rawness blend perfectly, plus "Crack" (sample 2), a hidden treasure of NYC rappin' disco-funk done in full band style, complete with stuttering vocal sampling that captures the NYC of the era.
