The Twelve Inch 119 : Try It Out : Funk/Disco - 1981

“Try It Out” (Gino Soccio) is the subject of this week's Substack newsletter. It kicks off this week's mix. "Try It Out" is pure R&B. Only logical that the rest of this week’s mixtape follow’s that lead. The second track “Spasticus Autistics” not only mixes well with “Try It Out'“ but it has a lot in common with Gino’s track. The Ian Dury track was co-written and produced by Chaz Jankel, another musician influenced by funk & R&B.
There's Chic, Kool & The Gang, Ray Parker Jr. and TS Monk
There is a big middle section with Larry Levan mixed/produced tracks with Logg and the NYC Peach Boys and we end with the great "Walking The Line" by Brass Construction and Carl Carlton's "She's A Bad Mama Jama"
