Billy Woost
BODY BODY LOVE
Best Italy / BST-X019
12 Inch
Billy Woost may not have released much music back in his heyday around 1977, but the one album he did put together was enough to secure a place in the crosshairs of the consummate Italian groove archivists, Best Italy. Picking up the finest jams from Woost s back catalogue, we re presented with a three tracker dripping with classic disco charm. -Body, Body Love- comes in a previously unreleased disco form that cruises at an easy pace but packs plenty of punch, while -Please Touch Me- edges the intensity up with a steamy set of strings, brass and vocals. -Sleep- meanwhile taps into a Blockheads kind of funk, bright and bouncy and just a little left of centre, which of course makes it all the more special.
