Following the incredibly well received Record Store Day release of Donna McGhee’s Make It Last Forever, Groove Line Records continue with another Patrick Adams & Greg Carmichael produced classic, Lady Bug, by BUMBLEBEE UNLIMITED, the second in our series of 12” audiophile reissues from the Disco underground. BUMBLEBEE UNLIMITED was a studio disco project from Adams and Carmichael, and along with their work with groups like Universal Robot Band and Inner Life, is credited for pushing the boundaries of dance music production. Their 1978 classic single Lady Bug was taken from the groups only album, Sting Like A Bee. Side A is the Disco Mix by John Morales and Frank Trimarco. A solid kick opens the track before Morales's trademark percussion is introduced. Then the slick bass, guitar and piano groove play alongside the innovative synth lines and drive the rhythm forward, before the addition of that simple but engaging single note piano groove... the core element of the track, and the synthesized vocal between the Lady Bug in question and the bee who's chasing her. At approximately 6m30 there is an extended build-up where each element returns before the fade. Side B features the Disco Remix by the legendary Larry Levan. Starting with the full drums and percussion Levan adds each element at an earlier stage than the Disco Mix, so the full track, including the vocal, hits you at just over a minute and doesn't let go until the fade, giving a more intense dance floor experience. All Groove Line Records releases are fully licensed and taken from the original master tapes, remastered by Nick Robbins at Sound Mastering, and cut by Matt Colton at Alchemy (Mastering Engineer of the Year 2013). All vinyl is heavy weight 180g and manufactured by Optimal Media in Germany, one of the world’s finest pressing plants. Groove Line Records cut no corners when making sure that each and every one of our releases has the highest quality performance possible. Groove Line Records’ deluxe audiophile reissue of Lady Bug is an essential purchase for any serious Funk, Dance, Disco or House vinyl collector who demands the very best in quality vinyl pressings.
