Wake Up Everybody And Get Down Tonight!

Some funk, soul and disco to enliven your Friday. 

All date from 1975, apart from a Tom Moulton mix, which may have followed a few years later, and every single second oozes with groove!

For those of you interested in such things, some production statistics for today's selection.

5: Minutes to crop and resize cover photo for post and 'sleeve art' (photo of graffiti wall taken last week)
