In 1981 Patrick Cowley and partner Mart Blecman chose "Get A Little" as the debut single for their brand new dance music label, Megatone Records. Originally the B-side opener to Cowley's first solo album, "Megatron Man", it's fitting that 40 years later this important dance song is getting a rerelease with fresh remixes from Alan Dixon (and amazing embossed disco bag to boot).
Disheartened by the lack of promotion and distribution off by Fusion, Patrick and Marty decided to set up their own label releasing not only Cowley's work, but by other synthesizer disco bands around the Bay Area and beyond. Megatone Records quickly captured the sound of the city's legendary gay nightlife.
"Get A Little" was one of the first releases on the label and perfectly captures the energy that surrounded this highly creative collaboration. With supreme vocals by J. Block, amazingly vibrant chorus and verse sections and highly frenetic instrumentation featuring the vast array of Patrick burgeoning synth collection - it must have sounding unbelievably fresh at the time! This new edition by Unidisc curates the original album version, a remix by Paul Parker from 1989 and two new mixes by Alan Dixon which, while beautifully faithful to the original material manage to give Cowley's music new life and vigor through some rugged and galvanized outboard mastering. This is unmissable stuff for your disco and hi-nrg collection!
STAFF COMMENTS
Matt says: One of two ultra deluxe reissues from Unidisc. "Get A Little" is one of Cowley's most anthemic party tracks - fizzing with energy and with a stiffening hook that'll make you reach for the nitrates instantly. Boosted by two Alan Dixon remixes this is unmissable hi-nrg disco for your next chemsex party.
