  Donna Summer - I Feel Love (Patrick Cowley Mega Mix) [538933 7 UK 2019 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC] Another new rip upgrade of an old post. I was contemplating another attempt at a rip of my scratchy old 1982 pressing of this electro-disco classic, but it may be beyond repair, so again I reached for this 2019 pressing on Columbia Records. Originals almost seem impossible to find good quality originals these days.  As a bonus you get an extended version of an Earth, Wind & Fire disco standard on the flipside.

It's a damp Saturday night, nobody else is home, the neighbours are away ....time to close the curtains, dig out that mirrorball, your best collar & medallion combo, those long forgotten disco-pants and your favourite cubans. Do you feel dirty now? There are currently three versions of this classic soul/disco album in-print, the source used for the Music On Vinyl edition remains unknown, both the Speakers Corner and Impex Records versions are cut all-analogue, however Impex went to Kevin Gray to cut the lacquers from the original master tape and this release was pressed carefully at Record Technology Incorporated. Further evidence perhaps that with the right mastering engineer, a reissue album could possibly sound better than the original pressing.
