Song of the Day: Terry Baldwin featuring Bud LaTour – Do You Wanna Dance? / Nothing Over / I Have A Dream / Delta House

‘Do You Wanna Dance?’ is one of my favorite house tracks.
Even so, with 3 of the 4 songs on this EP sampling lines from the movie ‘Animal House’ (I think the conversation snippets were on the soundtrack), you start to ask ‘Hey Terry, couldn’t you find anything else to sample?’

Time to make more videos

When I first starting posting 80s house and dance tracks on Youtube, I would record the song, take a picture of the record, edit the audio, edit the pictures, make the video, and then post it.
Needless to say, this got tedious. I thought a production line approach would work a lot better – take all the pictures, edit all the pictures, record all the songs, edit all the songs, make all the videos.
And thats what I did to about 1/3 of my collection back in mid 2011.
I’ve still got a few months worth of songs left to post from that batch, but I decided to plan ahead and start work on the remaining records.
Step 1 – take pictures of all the records and record sleeves:

Just taking the pictures took over a week – I can’t even imagine how long its going to take to record all of these.
