Velvet Hammer – Happy b/w Party Hardy – Soozi 7″

Essential crowd pleasing Modern Soul ‘Northern Disco’ classic which became harder to obtain after the next generation of inspiration seeking, bored House/Electronica deejays started to look out for ‘real’ oldschool uptempo Modern Soul 45s under the ‘Rare Disco’ genre. Many of these were around in bigger quantities and easily available from UK Northern Soul dealers, but are now much harder to find and impossible to buy cheap anymore. Most of these smalll label ‘Underground’ releases were aimed at the  US Disco market but failed at their time, then later got hammered on the UK Northern Soul scene by then ‘upfront’ deejays playing out the more soulful B-side often becoming alltime classics.
