The Detroit Emeralds

Anyone who boogied through the disco era will remember the tune Feel The Need - it's right up there with I Will Survive, We Are Family, and - dare I say it - YMCA, as one of just a handful of true mirror-ball anthems.

What's more it's still played today. You can hear it in discerning clubs where the 70s feel still rules-.-while no mobile jock would be without a copy as he plys his trade in weddings and engagement parties up and down the land. The funky brass stabs and shimmering strings of Feel The Need are a sure guarantee to get the punters off the wall and on their feet. But ask those self same punters to name the band responsible for this epic piece of dance floor magic and they'd probably be at a complete loss. More's the pity 'cos the band - The Detroit Emeralds - were more than just one hit disco wonders! This new 24 tracker is an attempt to put the record straight - it contains no less than 11 tracks which were hits in some shape or form both here and in the US, some classy B-sides, a slew of sophisticated album tracks and, to complete the picture, two unreleased gems!
