"Produced by the legendary Patrick Adams, the studio-bound disco unit Cloud One made its debut in 1975 with the spectacular Atmosphere Strut. At a time when most music was recorded with a full army of studio musicians, Cloud One records were mostly played, arranged and mixed in their entirety by Patrick Adams himself! The ability to 'work on his own' allowed the music to feel more experimental than the work he did on major labels at the time. While there's been other compilations, this is the first official P&P collection dedicated to the work of Patrick Adams as Cloud One. Spaced Out compiles the best of Cloud One's output with songs from their Atmosphere Strut LP, their Funky Disco Tracks EP and a number of known 12" singles, as well as some hard-to-find titles like 'Patti Duke', 'Don't Let My Rainbow Pass Me By', and 'Flying High'. Spread across 2 CDs, Spaced Out is not only a good addition to fans of the P&P Catalog, but also the perfect introduction to the work of Legendary Disco Producer Patrick Adams."

"Another extremely rare underground record on P&P. This time however and quite shockingly not a Patrick Adams or a Greg Carmichael production. Nonetheless 'Ain't It time' is a massive disco cut written, arranged and produced by Arthur Manning and P. J. Wyatt paired with great vocals by soul, disco and gospel vocalist Gwendolyn Dennison better known for her stage name as Queen Yahna. Queen Yahna's career has seen her perform on Broadway as Maria in the hit musical, Porgy & Bess and the National Company of The Wiz as Evillene. Based in Berlin, Germany, Queen Yahna has had a successful career outside theater as well, cutting a few dance records over the years."

"Produced by the legendary Patrick Adams, the studio-bound disco unit Cloud One made its debut in 1976 with the spectacular Atmosphere Strut and throughout the seventies, became the centerpiece for Queen Constance, Golden Flamingo, Heavenly Star, and Sound of New York, all labels ran by Peter Brown & Patricia Gilyard. At a time when most music was recorded with a full army of studio musicians, Cloud One records were mostly played, arranged and mixed in their entirety by Patrick Adams himself!!! The ability to 'work on his own' allowed the music to feel more experimental than the work he did on major labels at the time. Released in 1977 'Disco Juice' is probably P&P's best-known cut and for good reason. All the elements are there; a catchy melody reinforced by Venus Dodson's vocals, a driving bass line, an accentuated piano and of course the signature Patrick Adams Synth Strings unifying the whole composition and creating a delirious and hypnotic effect. It's no surprise this Record has been a point of reference to many house music producers, and sampled famously by artists like Norman Cook and Paul Johnson. From the Streets of Harlem to the beaches of Ibiza, 38 years later this juice keeps aging like a fine wine."

2019 repress. "While being a rare Patrick Adams and Billy Nichols production, Mary Clark's 'Take Me I'm Yours' has in recent years become one of the most celebrated Disco tracks by contemporary Deejays. This borderline Gospel-Disco Gem has all the elements of a timeless Disco Cut; a driving bass line, powerfully arranged strings and horns, but most importantly, a very soulful performance by Mary Clark. Like many of Peter Brown's 'affliate' labels, little is known about them or the artists recorded. Originaly released in 1980 on 'La Shawn', it is rumored to have been no more than 200 records originally pressed, making this one of the most sought 12 inches among collectors. However Leave it to someone like Dimitri from Paris who edited and included 'Take me I'm Yours' on his The Kings Of Disco compilation from 2004 to give this virtually unknown song a new life and a whole new audience. Even as recently as last year, Mary Clark's song of 'devotion' made its way into a BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix, courtesy of Floating Points, and frankly, there's probably not a bigger audience than that."

"One of the most powerful disco cuts in the P&P Affiliate 'Land of Hits' Label, New York's 'Movin'' is faithful to the name. A seven-plus minute disco gem of percussive breakdowns, a solid bass groove, classic strings, and enough guitar licks to make Nile Rodgers a little jealous. Released in 1981, Ahzz was a studio project by Osborne Hunter and Steve Boston who's better known for his work with Kenny Lehman on Roundtree and Lemon. Despite the Backlash of Comiskey Park's Disco Demolition in 1979 and the commercialization of disco, it was clear New York City was Still Movin' in '81. Underground hits like these were just undeniable. Like a lot of the titles on Peter Brown's labels, today New York's Movin' is a rare and highly sought after record."

"Back in the day a very young Clyde Alexander went into the studio with Gary Davis and Sanction at the behest of Mr. Peter Brown. The cut they laid down that day has been sought after and filling dance floors ever since. Gary Davis and his neighbor Truck constructed what many believe to be the ultimate hook in 'Gotta Get Your Love'. Gary's lavish yet simple arrangement and Trucks lyrics are backed with one of the most solid bass lines you'll ever hear over a beat so steady it's like bedrock. This record is so tight it's hard to believe every player at this session was in their teens when this was laid down on tape. That is with the exception of Gary Davis who was the elder statesman of this outing at the advanced age of 24. Give this one a spin and you'll understand how Gary and his crew from Camden made history that afternoon in '79."

"There is no doubt Peter Brown's P&P is one hell of an eclectic label. Enter Jesse Gould's Powerful protest song 'Out of Work'. A song that could have easily fit better at the Harlem Cultural Festival in the summer of '69 than at a Disco in '77. A regular at David Mancuso's Loft, this fast-paced Funk Jam Borderlines Disco. However more Sly Stone than Disco Inferno, the realities of Harlem were all here on display. Produced and arranged by Billy Nichols, 'Out of Work' showcases the qualities that made him famous - Funky Rhythms rooted from his time at Motown, Big Strings and special attention to the Drum Section. Another incredibly rare record, another incredible opportunity to own what the Disco Black Market has priced for more than a Day's Work minimum wage."

"This monster Underground Disco classic was produced by the legendary Patrick Adams and it's considered to be one of his best and rarest pressings. Released in 1977 on P&P Records, 'Dance Dance Dance' was ahead of its time laying ground for the signature sound he'd soon to be known for on productions for the likes of Inner Life, Loleatta Holloway, Bumblebee Unlimited, and Musique. This Classic release combines a smooth blend of Latin rhythms, an infectious bass line and Arp keyboards that create a dubbed out cosmic vibe, while Marta Acuna's dreamy vocals glide in and out. This is the perfect tune to close out an evening of hot summer dancing, a NYC Disco Classic. This Highly sought after and extremely rare 12" has seen other lives as well, heavily sampled in Underground House tracks like Alex Neri's 'Planet Funk' and covered by Joey Negro and his Sunburst Band."

"Michael Campbell's musical career began at an early age; his first group was formed when he was 14 so he and his friends could be in their Junior High School's annual talent show. About a year later the band, New Experience, went on to the semi-finals in a CBS Records talent competition held at the Billie Holiday Theater in Brooklyn. Still in High School, Campbell began his studio career as an apprentice at A-1 Recording Studios in New York City. Diligently working as an assistant engineer on sessions with the likes of Bernard Purdy, Lloyd Price, Otis Blackwell, and Roy Ayres provided essential training and equipped Campbell with an arsenal of studio knowledge. Responsible for scores of releases during the disco era, Michael formed a new band, High Voltage, which became one of the most popular back up bands for artists during that strobe-lit decade. This is the period in the spotlight (or strobe light perhaps) on Michael Campbell's Best of P&P Records. Whether it was his work as a performer with High Voltage, like the legendary 'Rock, Spank, Freak', or his production for P&P artists, such as Wayne Ford's 'Dance To The Beat Freakout,' (the instrumental version is included here) Campbell's talent isn't as a performer or producer - it's as a performer and producer. With one listen we're sure you'll agree that the disco-era, and certainly P&P Records, would never have been the same without the incredible talents of Michael Campbell."

2007 release. "Producer, arranger, instrumentalist, and label owner Greg Carmichael ran with the prominent members of the underground disco/boogie brigade like Patrick Adams and LeRoy Burgess, but he remains one of the lesser recognized figures from the scene. Despite this, he was every bit a key behind-the-scenes member of the dance music world and deserves the recognition accorded to those he worked with. Carmichael, along with Adams, was behind Universal Robot Band, Inner Life, Phreek, and Bumblebee Unlimited. Each of these outfits delivered a handful of club classics that endure as house-DJ favorites decades after their original release ('Dance and Shake Your Tamborine,' 'Barely Breaking Even,' 'Weekend,' 'Love Bug,' 'Moment of My Life,' and 'I'm Caught Up' being amongst the most popular). A number of Bumblebee Unlimited singles were released through Carmichael's Red Greg label, and Inner Life's 'I'm Caught Up (In a One Night Love Affair)' was originally issued on his TCT label before Prelude purchased the rights and catapulted it to the top of many club playlists. Carmichael also worked closely with Burgess for the Convertion ('Let's Do It') and Logg ('I Know You Will,' 'Dancing Into the Stars') projects, which also yielded some cream-of-the-crop disco/boogie. The only time Carmichael truly tasted the mainstream was when Cathy Dennis' 'Touch Me (All Night Long),' a cover of a Fonda Rae tune written with Adams, blitzed the pop charts in 1991. By then, he was all but completely removed from the music industry. Peter Brown and Traffic Entertainment are proud to present this rare collective of the work of Greg Carmichael and his label, Red Gregg Records."
