TOO SLOW TO DISCO

Ah, the mid-'70s Me Generation, not so happily remembered.

Love the white blazer, by the way.?Neiman-Marcus, right' But Too Slow to Disco isn't interested in your aging hangups.?As you know, once musical genres get old, the best parts still shine through,?and this collection is a delectable document of this forgotten phase of the mid-'70s?West Coast music world. We've unearthed some of the lesser-known but still?beautiful mood music of this period, by people who were often still starting out, or?would write their biggest hits years later, but who surfed the West Coast wave?penning some total gems.
