This is an original 12" single vinyl record, not a Cd, or DVD.  It is guaranteed original, not a re-issue.

The Cornerstone of DISCO  MUSIC

For sale by original owner

This classic vinyl pressing is from my personal collection. I was a New York City nightclub DJ from 1972 through 1988, and I am auctioning off most of my classic record collection for others to enjoy.  

Since I was at the beginning of the emergence of the disco era,  these records have lots of history to them.  This record was never in a record store being manhandled by hundreds, if not thousands of careless people.  The only other caring fingerprints on this record could have been from other professional DJ / artists of my time such as:  the legendary Walter Gibbons (DJ remixer) Jim Burgess (DJ / Producer / Remixer) Ray F. Caviano ( RFC Records / Producer) Eddie Rivera (International Disco Record Center) Jenny Costa (WKTU guest DJ), David Mancuso (The Loft at 99 Prince St. / Record Pool) or David Morales (For The Record / Def Jam / Producer / Songwriter / Remixer).   If this record could talk!

All of my auctioned records are in excellent condition, and can be programmed in clubs today, to the likeness of quality they had "back in the day"  otherwise they will not be listed.  

Fantasy Records F-769-D

1976

This record was released before 12" vinyl singles were commercially available.  The only way you could have received one...is if you were a Disco DJ, on the mailing list of Fantasy Records, in a Record Pool, knew someone "in the Biz.", or....got down on your knees and performed well.  (I was both on the mailing list, and in a record pool...and didn't have to get down on my knees). 

 This is my last and only copy left....and probably the last one you will see in auction sale in quite a while...especially for a starting price of only $.99)

Side Effect

"ALWAYS THERE"

Both sides identical (5:04)

This record is highly demanded . One of the major reasons is....it was very popular before "Saturday Night Fever" and Studio-54.  This is one of the BIGGEST songs to come out of the '70's, and defined the shape of dance music for decades to come.  Fabulous harmonies, fierce percussion, brilliant melodies, and simple...but well stated lyrics that you can sing too.  A classic is forever!  This song made the cut to being one of the greatest dance songs ever!

This GEM was given to me by David Mancuso at the first record pool...the "99 Prince St. Record Pool" where the infamous "LOFT" was.... in SOHO, N.Y.C., Circa 1976.

VINYL CONDITION Goldmine Standards: Near Mint. 

   Rarely played record.....fresh and clean.   Mirror gloss luster.  Only a faint hint of paper scuff on one side.  No scratches at all.  Played with caring hands.  No skips, no crackeling or pops, no noise, no distortion, bright luster, no label wear or fading, kept in a smoke free well ventilated, dehumidified, air-conditioned pest-free, pet-free environment for decades.  This record plays in immaculate condition.  

Cover Condition:  Excellent condition front side.

NO Ringwear whatsoever!  No pen marks, no bpm notations, no dented corners, no tears or rips anywhere. Immaculate. 

Take Notice:  Rear side downgraded to VG.  For some reason, the rear cover side has a stain.  I don't know what it is, or when it happened.  It's about 3" long and 1" wide with a little residual around it.  If this really disturbs you, I'll scan it (when I get a new scanner this week) and email it to you.   It looks like a coffee smudge, but this rear side is plain white. I really don't think it'll take that much value away from it.  Maybe if you know how to clean something like that, you could get it clean.  I'd rather not.  I don't do covers. 

  Label:   Mint

No wear, no writing, no bpm, no stamps or stickers.  Completely cherry.      The label "Disco Version Not--To Be Sold" proudly states on the top, that this is no ordinary record.  This ultra-rare Promo record is one of the first pressings made, loud and clear, for DJ's only, played only once or twice at some of the top clubs in NYC.

 This was a highly collectable record when it was originally released, and went for a hefty price then.  Now you can have the opportunity to own this piece of musical history! 

Winning Bidder:  Take good care of her like I have the past 30 years.  Don't lie her down on something that may scratch or harm her.  Don't misplace her in a different cover, or mix her up with something else...she may get lonely if she can't find you.  Don't put her in a hot car with the windows shut, where she may wilt or suffocate.  Best of all...play her proudly...she will sing for you forever!  This is not like a CD or Magnetic Tape that dies after 100 years...she is eternity...to be played forever (with careful hands.)

This actual record caused thousands to scream, sing, dance and dream to. So bid wisely on this great piece of musical history.  It can easily become the headliner in your impressive collection, like it was for me.

Because of the high demand of this record, and the immaculate condition that it is in...it will more than likely go into the hundreds of dollars during bidding.  Due to that fact....insurance must be added if shipping anywhere out of the North American continent ($1.35 per $50.00 value will be added.) 

Thanks for your intrerest, and remember...You bid....you win...you buy!
