VA - Ladies Of Too Slow To Disco (2016)

With The Ladies Of Too Slow To Disco' we are taking a look at the women who kick-started the female pop revolution in the seventies. But we are not only presenting the big names like Carole King, Carly Simon or Rickie Lee Jones, Too Slow To Disco is once again unearthing lots of overlooked and lost gems of the 1970s LA music scene. As ever with Too Slow To Disco, we hope we're moving the needle, reinstating a few unjustly overlooked talents. But above all this is about the music, that vaulting ambition that pours out of these arrangements, lyrics and melodies, all played by the finest musicians the LA scene could muster. So take a trip with us, and round out your picture of a decade. The style is still Too Slow To Disco. But the inspiration and the achievement is all woman. About Too Slow To Disco These much-loved compilations are the brainchild of Berlin crate-digger DJ Supermarkt the musical luminary who brought J-POP to discerning Western ears back in the late 1990s with his Bungalow Records label and who has been a champion for the re-appraisal of smooth music for decades. Too Slow to Disco Volumes 1 and 2 were both rightly acclaimed as Best Compilation of the Year by Rough Trade records and this sideproject brings together another kick-ass roster of lost pop gems.
