Yo. I'm the keyboardist, Peter Reilich, who played on the basic rhythm tracks that were recorded at engineer Gary Black's house in Encino CA. A bit of trivia; we recorded several takes over the course of a couple weeks. This was in 1979, before the era of digital recording. I remember the mixing board, an 8-track & the recorder was 3-inch reel, common in those days. Because of the limited technology of the day, rhythm tracks were commonly recorded live, with a full rhythm section: drums, bass, guitar & me on electric piano. Kenny recorded over-dubs of synthesizer stuff, later at another studio in North Hollywood. That synth stuff is fairly present on your favorite track "Inch By Inch" -which you can be heard here: http://www.pylonsounds.com/swaps/?q=node/460

I am definitely going to say the exact same about inch by inch, it stands out by itself in such a good way, sexy vocals along with hypnotic instruments as well.The first time i heard this was from a wbmx chicago radio station mix with james disco dereck behind the decks. If anybody out there wants it on vinyl, look for the original 12" on casablanca rec. or the dereck carter quadruple pack on azuli titled "a collection of classics" the whole compilation is awesome plus containing inch by inch. Ahead of it's time.
Rated 5/5

Inch by Inch is the one to look here.
I confess i´m surprised that no one rate or review on this one.
This is one of the best kept secret on disco music.
Zell Black vocals are amazing and the power producion, guitars, basses, percursion, keyboards, everything is perfect here.
Ive discovered this one by accident, searching on Casablanca catalog here at discogs, and since that i can´t stop listening to it.

It was included on the series "Choice - A Collection Of Classics", on Azuli Records, mixed by Derrick Carter.

Other songs are ok, in a regular disco funk format.
But, Wait till you listen to Inch bt Inch.
Pure Class. 10/10
