Sorry, I know: blogs are like buses - you wait for ages for one and then two turn up at the same time.
I'd almost forgotten I owned this. I picked it up back in the early 80s, and I don't think I've played it for at least 20 years. Back then there was a company in the UK, Oldies Unlimited, who specialised in selling cheap US and European repressings of classic singles. They would often buy in stashes of deleted stock and sell these on in packs - 10 picture sleeve singles for a quid - or from boxes on the counters of service stations, newsagents and other stores. I think I payed the princely sum of 20p for this.
These days Barbara Markay is re-establishing herself in an entirely different field - as you can see from her web site http://www.barbaramarkay.com : Barbara Markay offers music to enhance the journey towards spiritual enlightenment – sounds for the body, mind and spirit (blending) world-beat grooves, sultry flamenco guitar, violin tinged with Middle Eastern influences, occasional new age vocals, and a wide variety of other sounds including pop-oriented electric guitar and ethnic percussion from around the world.
"I try to create music that will help awaken all of us to the calling of the universal rhythmic pulse," explains Barbara. "Shambhala represents the guidance for humanity. There is this wonderful, flowing, positive, totally-organized energy from shambhala that nurtures our whole progression and evolution. That rhythm of life is like a dance to me, and it inspired this music."
That's a royal mile from her earlier forays into the music world. Back in 1980 her self-penned ditty It's All Rite (to Fuck All Night) was a fairly major hit in certain parts of the world, with a heavily censored version managing to make Billboard's European and Disco charts. She continued in the disco porn vein for a while before, in 1985, meeting a meditation teacher and completely changing track.
Still, we still have this - one of the dirtiest - and stupidest - disco records ever. How can you not love a song with such idiotic lyrics as "It's time to stop all this Puritan jive, cause they are dead and we are alive!"? The ridiculous Tijuana Brass horns just add to the maniacal melange. Go on, download it now. I guarantee you'll be singing "Did you cum, did you cum, did you cum cum cum? La la la la, la la la la, la la la la la" for the rest of the day.
Enjoy!
Update: the original link was broken - you should now be able to enjoy It's All Rite in all its glory
Update two: the replacement link was also knackered, thanks to Divshare wiping all of my uploads, but here's It's All Rite... again, plus Barbar's other dirty disco classic Give Your Dick To Me

HiDarryl
ReplyDeleteAre you sure about the link http://www.blogger.com/www.barbaramarkay.com ?
Not working here (error 404) ?
Sorry - the link to Barbara's web site should work now.
ReplyDeleteI'd really appreciate it if this link to "It's All Right," was working,http://rapidshare.com/files/258456682/It_s_All_Rite.mp3, or any way to be able to download this song. Thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteNo sooner asked for than done. Enjoy!
DeleteThanks for this. It is very appreciated. I have the album this was taken from! Now, if you can find a copy of, "Give Your D**k to Me," it will be the best Xmas present ever!
ReplyDeleteI am sneaking this in to the CD rotation for the next dungeon play party. Electronica is so tedious.
ReplyDeleteHey there; love your blog! Would it be too much trouble to update the download link for this one again, it seems I got here too late and it's broken; I'd greatly appreciate it friend!
ReplyDeleteHey! Thanks for the kind words. I'll get the link fixed in the next couple of days: check back at the weekend, but I'll also post details on the Facebook page
