The band Dinosaur, supported by the genius Arthur Russell and featuring NYC underground DJ NIcky Siano in the late 1970's, released a huge hit on Sire in 1978 and became the first underground disco classic to be produced from scratch by a DJ. The monumental "Kiss Me Again" was the first ever production in which a DJ created a track from scratch and made a record from the original tape! Special price!

The 13 minutes and 4 seconds long mix Side-A "Kiss Me Again" (sample 1) by Jimmy Simpson, which slowly leads us into a disco long story with a band ensemble and funky soulfulness, interspersed with experimental elements, is also great. Side-B "Kiss Me Again (Version)" (12 minutes and 42 seconds) is a 12-minute and 42-second track with Arthur Russell's arrangement and mix, which is too crazy and lovely from a DJ's point of view, with a tricky mix and a lovely solo performance ensemble of underground left-field masters who also enjoy soloing each instrument. Kiss Me Again (Version)" (sample 2) and (sample 3) are dangerously fragrant and deeply fascinating due to the tasteful and musical metamorphosis. Both the remastering and analog cutting are beautifully done with a wonderfully warm sound quality and sound pressure.
Includes liner notes by NIcky Siano, David Byrne, Peter Gordon, and Peter Zummoini. No-digital vinyl-only release. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
