1 of those bangin' disco records that are long and the 2nd half is where it is at - the long breakdown ending. The proper way to go about these records is actually having doubles - let the intro go...then drop the 2nd half. Either way - it breaks down 2:30 way in - so not so bad if U only have 1 copy - but you want that breakdown at about 6:30 on...so get 2 if U really wanna rock that ish. Very cool record many do not know and you will rarely - if ever - hear. Secret weapon status. referencing Disco Circus (12", 33 ⅓ RPM) SPEC-1223
as far as i know the Medley is not the famous Unidisc 15min version that contains NYC Peech Boys- Edited 19 years ago

The Unidisc "Medley" version uses as its basis an un-released Francois Kevorkian acetate of Francois' un-released Dub Breakdown mix of Disco Circus. FK only gave the acetate (or tape version) to Larry Levan, David Mancuso, and perhaps a few other close DJ friends. At some point many years ago, someone stole David's copy and it was immediately bootlegged along with Francois' "X-Medley". The acetates were eventually recovered, but for many years Unidisc continued to put out this so-so-recording quality version, which does indeed have a lot of elements that were never in the original production at all. Now that Unidisc owns the old Prelude Catalogue, they have zero rights to release the Martin Circus material, which was originally licensed TO Prelude. Unidisc wound up owning the actual Prelude catalogue, minus Martin Circus. - Edited 19 years ago

An absolutely amazing disco track. It's one of those tracks that helped establish the house sound of the decades to follow. The 'Dum Dum' vocal bassline idea is later copied on many chicago house records.
Especially the Medley version is wonderfull. It incorporates some african sounding chants in the beginning and a very loud siren, nice to capture the attention when playing it in a club. Also vocal pieces from NYC Peech Boys' <a href='http://www.discogs.com/release/79900'>Don't Make Me Wait</a> are featured, another defining house/garage track. The only negative thing to say about this record is that on both the original and the 'Disco Classic' reissue the Medley version sounds like it's recorded on a C-60 casette from a radioshow, mixed with worn records.
