Roller skating with my parents and my bro the one and only Frankie Bones on the Westside HWY piers at 57st in 1980! Ya had to be there! Memories all the way to heaven

Obviously 'I'm Ready' is why I bought this 12" but check out 'Holy Dolly' as well. Not quite as good but still a really nice track!

Great record that was HUGE in NYC both on radio and in the clubs in 1980. One of the few Italo records devoid of the dreaded cheese factor.

Whoomp! There it is fellas.
This track is not only jamming, but it's also hot.

If there is a such thing as a perfectly composed, arranged, produced, and executed dance track, "I'm Ready" is it. This tune still sets dance floors on fire in the year 2017.

In my opinion, this is one of the finest examples of disco music ever created. From the moment of the first hand clap until the conclusion of the song, I found I was thoroughly engaged, my interest never waning. It is just a very intense and beautiful track. Peace and love to all.

"Im Ready" will put a smile on everyone's face and will surely get everyone dancing and drinking heavily. Has the famous bassline that has been sampled tons of times, most notably on the ass and tittie shaking "Whomp there it is" by Tag Team.
