Well, well, well. With this label we close our review of the GO GO 12" singles. Sure, WASHINGTON HIT MAKERS wasn't a pure Go Go only label. To be honest, it is a multi musical oriented Washington D.C. record co. However they recorded during the go go days some acts, such as C.J's UPTOWN CREW. Don't miss the GAYLE ADAMS last recording, D.C. SCORPIO and the Rick WEEB legacy. As usuall, in EXCLUSIVITY, these publications includes our HIGH quality and re-worked sleeves scan.

:: ABC Records # ABCD-925 - ISAAC HAYES

ABC records Soul & Funk Albums (Pt.17)
This third set of Isaac HAYES for 1976 is still in a DISCO way even if track (A1) sound "shaft". We think, now, that this multiplication of set announced the eminent H.B.S bankruptcy. And the it came as commercial success didn't arrived. "Groove-A-Thon" stands for Groove Marathon.

:: ABC Records # ABCD-923 - ISAAC HAYES MOVEMENT

ABC records Soul & Funk Albums (Pt.16)
With the recent signing of Isaac HAYES HBS records for distributing on ABC, year '76, just began with this instrumental opus from Isaac, that paved the way for DISCO's. This album remains largely forgotten, and must be see as a cut and paste of Barry WHITE's project for 20th century records, for ABC records; disco symphonic.

:: ABC Records # ABCD-917 - COLD BLOOD

ABC records Soul & Funk Albums (Pt.14)
Now we begin our review of year '76 of ABC albums with a special set, which can be analysed to the ABC response to EPIC MOTHER's FINEST pop/rock/funk group. COLD BLOOD is a San Fransisco based group from the late 60's, that performed from 1969 to mid 70's. They re-emerged at the beginning of the new millenium. Lead vocalist is Lydia PENSE. The 76's album produced by ABC's resident BOB MONACO, is very rare to find in vinyl..

:: ABC Records # ABCD-916 - THE DRAMATICS

ABC records Soul & Funk Albums (Pt.13)

WASHINGTON D.C. (GO-GO) Blues-Fusion (Step 12)
Special addition in this Go Go history! This album "It Takes One To Know One" released in 1988 and produced by Harvey SCALES is not at all a GO GO piece of the action. You must read the sleeve notes to understand why this Jesse JAMES album was released on Maxx KIDD label. This set contains the succesful radio airwaves "I Can Do Bad By Myself".
