Description
2017 reissue, 12″, Best Record Italy.
Billy Woost may not have released much music back in his heyday around 1977, but the one album he did put together was enough to secure a place in the crosshairs of the consummate Italian groove archivists, Best Italy. Picking up the finest jams from Woost’s back catalogue, we’re presented with a three tracker dripping with classic disco charm. “Body, Body Love” comes in a previously unreleased disco form that cruises at an easy pace but packs plenty of punch, while “Please Touch Me” edges the intensity up with a steamy set of strings, brass and vocals. “Sleep” meanwhile taps into a Blockheads kind of funk, bright and bouncy and just a little left of centre, which of course makes it all the more special. – Juno
