The objective of this monthly Time Capsule series was to build a veritable dance music archive, to help illustrate how the Disco era evolved from a UK perspective, which was so different to how things unfolded in the States. I did this by including the records that I bought and played in the clubs, month by month, giving background on the releases, whilst outlining my own early experience as a young upcoming DJ. Records from April 1977. Trammps, Heatwave, Marvin Gaye, Kool & The Gang, Crown Heights Affair

Remember track 1 in here is chart position 40 and track 40 in here is chart position 1. P.S. I used the album version of the Guess Who track 'American Woman'. Enjoy..
