about
Modern soul/disco record from Marin County band ‘ENERGIZE’ 1979. Review courtesy of Juno: Astonishingly, original copies of Energize's 1979 private press single "Piece of Class" have changed hands for over 500 quid online. Helpfully, Rain & Shine have decided to save us all a few bob by slinging out this licensed reissue. The title track is something of a bustling disco-funk gem - a genuinely wonderful fusion of hazy vocals, dueling horn solos, spacey synthesizer flourishes and driving bass guitar. B-side "Star of the Disco" is an even more up-tempo affair, with mazy saxophone solos, rasping horn stabs and starry jazz-funk keys riding a walking bassline and high-octane disco drums.
Recorded for a local Detroit label in the late ’70s before slipping into obscurity, this sweet soul gem from Rita Joyce still sparkles. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 21, 2021
This album reissue brings new life to a soul album that never received its rightful due after its original release. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 24, 2020
