The album in question, Disco Party by Reality, is a stunning journey through '70s dancefloor-focussed funk into early proto-disco grooves. Back in mid-'70s Manhattan, Dr. Otto Gomez and a group of fellow New York musicians including Tony Dixon, Norman Drayton, Tony Dupree, Al Jones and Fred Nanton were brought in for a recording session by songwriter and producer, Billy Nichols. Laying down one of Nichols' songs and a selection of the group's own, they were paid as session musicians and thought little of it. The tapes came to the attention of Lloyd Price who struck a deal with Nichols unbeknownst to Gomez and the rest of the band. Price then pressed the album and put it out in 1976 on a newly formed subsidiary label, TSG Records, that would later be documented as one of the US tax scam labels of the '70s.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PROPER","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46604411732105,"sku":"MRBCD344","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":46604411764873,"sku":"MRBLP344","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0378\/1623\/8217\/files\/mrb.jpg?v=1778251206","url":"https:\/\/davids-music.co.uk\/products\/reality-disco-party-reissue","provider":"David's Music LGC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
