About this item

Edwin Birdsong’s self-titled album was released in 1978 on Philadelphia International Records at the height of the Disco craze. By this time, Edwin was a major player at PIR and a talented songwriter and producer as well. Birdsong’s vision hits the mark as the album boasts several gems that became dance floor classics. “Cola Bottle Baby”, “Kunta Dance” and “Goldmine” are all hard hitting funk gems that kick in hard and are ready for partying. Daft Punk sampled the hitsong “Cola Bottle Baby” in “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. Even though the album missed the charts, it became something of a hot item for disco/soul music collectors.
