DESCRIPTION:
1985 Diso CLassic Rediscovered & Rpressed In New Mix - Kalita are delighted to announce the first ever official reissue of Billy Evans’ sought-after 1985 12” disco single 'Prisoner Of My Weakness'! Over thirty-five years since initial release, and long acclaimed by collectors, DJs and dance music fans, the time is ripe to share Billy’s music once more. Originally privately released in a small run on Billy’s own label Tee Records, Kalita’s 12” reissue single features both the vocal and incredible dub mix versions of ‘Prisoner Of My Weakness’, plus a brand-new phenomenal remix courtesy of Waxist, produced using the original multitrack analogue master tapes. With original copies selling for triple figures on the rare occasion that they come up for sale, Kalita now deliver a loud and remastered 12” single for all.disco
While it's hardly a holy grail release, Billy Evans' 1985 debut single is one of those rare and hard-to-find jazz funk-meets-boogie jams that merits a reissue. The admirable Kalita Records have happily stepped up to the plate and delivered. We got both versions from the original 12": the cheery, synth bassline-powered dancefloor soulfulness of Evans and arranger Al Walters' original mix, and the pair's more thickset, club-ready Dub Mix, which in typical 1980s disco dubs style includes some fine breakdowns and groove-based sections. Dusty-fingered digger Waxist also provides a freshly re-edited take. He stretches out the groove, focusing on the synth-bass, drums, guitars and horns, before dropping in Evans' inspired lead vocal.
