GET DOWN BOY - PAPER DOLL

	€		100
	$		116

The following record, which I bought more than 25 years ago, is now being auctioned for sale. It's from my private record collection and seems to fetch up to $300-€200 nowadays (see www.popsike.com).

GET DOWN BOY

PAPER DOLL

HEAVENLY STAR RECORDS

Vinyl, 12", catalog number 720

A side: Get Down Boy (10:00)

B side: Get Down Boy (instrumental) (10:00) [although it says instrumental, this is same version as side A]

This record should not be confused with the similar song by The Paper Dolls, published on Tyson Records. A Heavenly Star Records' publication is very rare and has more value. Written and produced by Harvey Miller, arranged by Patrick Adams and promoted by Peter Brown. It's a fantastic 70s disco tune with great vocals. For the real collector! For more information, see discogs.com. The following article was found on answers.com: "Paper Doll was one of several short-lived groups/artists overseen by Patrick Adams and Peter Brown, the two legendary disco maestros who formed Harlem's P&P label and a number of satellite imprints in the mid-'70s. Produced by Brown, the "Get Down Boy" single was released in 1979 on Heavenly Star. Highlighted by exuberant female vocals, a wickedly taut synth line, some weird treatments on the drums, and beautifully elegant touches of strings, the song boasts one of the speedier tempos produced by the P&P camp. It also doubles as one of its buried treasures and should have been a hit on adventurous radio stations across the globe. Though its original vinyl incarnation is all but impossible to track down, the Counterpoint label included it on 1997's Disco Juice compilation, which anthologized Adams and Brown's independent work. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide"
