PATRICK COWLEY - School Daze 2LP
Perhaps one of the most revolutionary and influential people in the cannon of disco music, PATRICK COWLEY created his own brand of Hi-NRG dance music coined "The San Francisco Sound."
This double LP features a compilation of restored Cowley productions unearthed in the garage of vintage gay porn company Fox Studio. Spanning nearly 90 minutes, the 11 tracks (originally recorded between 1973 and 1981), epitomize Cowley's forward thinking and his affinity for mixing elements of varying styles of music.
Simply put, Cowley was a musical trailblazer ahead of his time.
His credits as a producer include SYLVESTER's "Do You Wanna Funk,” PAUL PARKER’s "Right on Target" and collaborations with JORGE SOCCARAS of INDOOR LIFE - this is just the tip of the iceberg.
These recordings shine a new light on the experimental side of a disco legend who was taken too soon from us.
The tapes were restored and transferred using the same speed and pitch settings, then remastered for vinyl by GEORGE HORN at Fantasy Studios.
The vinyl comes housed in a glossy dual pocket gatefold featuring classic gay porn imagery from the Fox Studio vaults plus an essay from Indoor Life vocalist, JORGE SOCCARRAS. For Patrick's 63rd birthday,
