PAP Smear (Patrick Adams Pick) 3

This is the final piece of the Patrick Adams pick. I've been relistening to this, over the last few days and it's just good. And several of these disco tracks are probably stuff you had no idea were even related to Adams. Unless maybe you were a DJ, then maybe. A couple of repeat bands in here from previous volumes, even one track that supposedly is higher rated than previous pick. But I know what I like. Last volume I linked to another record label and here is another reason why I picked that label: Herbie Mann covering Celi Bee in a jazzy dance-y way.

PAP Smear (Patrick Adams Pick) 2

Patrick Adams pick is continued on this second volume. Not sure why I added smear to this, since I definitely am not trying to smear him. In fact his legacy is unsmearable. But Patrick Adams Pick was too deliciously going to be PAP and that's what I thought of. Another non-New York disco outfit also came to mind and that was TK (Terry Kane) Records. Sunny and free Florida but also a healthy production team. Lots of different one off band names with Adams and lots of mentoring of young groups hoping to make it. And he gave them the best possible start. Lots of people like the boys from Chic credited Adams after he died and listening to some of these chord progressions you can hear why.

PAP Smear (Patrick Adams Pick) 1

If you have followed this site for awhile, you know that I love disco and also that I love following producers. This Patrick Adams pick does both. Going through his stuff was amazing and there was a deluge of songs, bands etc that I had not connected to Adams. This is going to be three volumes long. I was fascinated how even though they didn't work together there were some sonic parallels to Rinder & Lewis. One was East Coast, one was West. They didn't do the same stuff, but I kept hearing it underneath. Anyway this volume has the first song I ever owned by Patrick Adams (and I had no idea then it was him). In case you are wondering, it was Musique. But listen to these songs!
