Description
2017 reissue, 2×12″ LP, FXHE Records.
Omar S presents this remastered reissue of the 1979 album by this Singaporean disco band led by Ardo Guerzo and Jeremiah Star on his revered FXHE imprint. The name of the band is an acronym of their first names respectively. They mixed disco and salsa in their hit “Classical Salsa”. They covered the Ohio Players’ classic hit “Sweet Sticky Thing” and they named their 1976 released album after it. Star was also in the short lived Funkgus outfit which is worth checking out, if you can find it! A true diggers delight for those that knew it seems, but now brought to a wider audience, thankfully. Originally on Baal, a UK label founded in the mid ’70s by Jay Shotam of October Cherries. The original Baal label was founded in Singapore by his band in the late ’60s until it became defunct in 1980. – Juno
