Category Archives: Super Disco Edits

At first glance you may think Super Disco Edits is just another cut and paste record label, churning out disco fodder. But let me stop you there.
We morphed oursleves into our firt true love.
Sourcing long and forgetten Soul & Jazz artist so we could document their hopes and dreams once again on glorious vinyl.
From established artist like Leroy Hutson and Mike and Dennis Coffey to newly disovered acts like Between the two.  Our aim is to dig deep into old studio archives and dusty lofts and basements of past record label owners to see if we can revive the magic that may lie in old studio reels they may have.
We make sure the reels and material are treated with utmost care like an archaeology find or historical importance.
Once this process has been achieved we make sure our mastering,cutting of laqcueres and vinyl pressings are of the highest quality, while still keeping a friendly price for our loyal customers.
We hope you enjoy giving some of our products a listen and helping bring some light back into these long and forgotten soul men and women.
If you are an old artist, producer or musician why not send us an email and see if you can help you.

The Janice Lakers Quintet

“He Loves You”/”Shaker Song”

Label: Super Disco Edits Records / Brushed Up
Catalogue Number: SDE71
Release Date: March 2025
Format: 7′ Vinyl

Recorded in 1979 this demo by The Janice Lakers Quintet was just i guess 5 people having FUN! The Quintet consisted of Janice Lakers – vocals; Dick Cady – piano; Mike Edwards – woodwinds; Larry Turner – bass; Fred Taylor – drums.

They chose to do two covers versions, the first being Seawind’s now classic Jazz Dance Rare Groove track “He Loves You”. The group give it a much different feel where its not quite as funky as the original but with the whisking Fred Taylors drums and Larry’s Bass it floats along like a Seagull riding a thermal without a care in the world. Mid way into the song Mike Edawards and Dick Cady kick the song into gear with some accomplished Clarinet and Piano playing.
