Record Shack Vinyl & CDs

Review: Record Shack have unearthed another rare gem from the early 80s and worked hard to give it its first officially licensed 12" release. Before now, no one has quite known the proper title of these tracks as they were on white label only, but now that is cleared up once and for all. "Bad Guy Good Guy" opens with a killer bit of early '80s jazz funk with boogie bass vibes while the infectious guitars and summery leads also colour the flipside - "Synth Good Guy " is still as glorious and full of radiant sunshine as it was back when first put out.

Review: It is often said that this tune was one of the catalysts for the coming together of Brit-funk sounds and UK disco styles back in the early eighties. Either way it is a real British classic that landed on the influential dance label Record Shack and came from the unique musical minds of Jeff Weston and Northern Soul, Blackpool Mecca and Wigan casino DJ/Promoter/icon, Ian Levine. Now the hard tp find and much coveted, as well as expensive, original has been officially licensed and remastered with a full colour picture sleeve for this special 12".
