- updated:2025-10-07
An extremely rare Australian “Killer Disco” release. A remastered reissue combining two 12-inch singles by Ralph White, originally released in Sydney in 1978. Features a total of four tracks. A light, breezy groove. Miraculous ensemble playing; positive, radiating goodness; a warm, love-and-peace-filled, fantastical sound.
The first official anthology of Ralph White's 1978 disco recordings from the Albert studios in Sydney.
Known for his work as a studio musician and producer in the Sydney music scene Ralph White was approached by the M7 label to create 4 disco arrangements for the purpose of releasing two 12" singles to a burgeoning market hungry for new dance music.
Over the course of 2 days at the Albert Studios in Sydney, Ralph and a handful of local studio players including the renowned guitarist Tommy Emmanuel, laid down 4 of the finest examples of disco recorded in Australia.
While the two 12" singles were released to modest reception in Australia, M7 sent many copies to larger markets in Canada, India & Argentina in hopes for greater profits. These 12" singles have since become highly sought-after demanding hundreds of dollars on the second-hand market.
All four tracks are now available again, remastered and packaged in a stunning textured spot-UV jacket with inserts featuring extensive liner notes & biography from Ralph White.
