Working Woman (Kenny Dope Edit) b/w Instrumental
Kenny Dope brings us another alternative mix/re-edit of a Mocambo track. This time, Gizelle’s “Working Woman” is stripped down to its multitracks and nicely put back together with an extended break at the beginning of the song. Especially recommended for the ambitious club DJ. One of the few Kay Dee 45s that comes in a picture sleeve. The records are manufactured in New York.
The Next Message (Kenny Dope Edit) b/w Version
The raw old school funk sound of Mocambo has caught the attention of many DJs and funk enthusiasts worldwide. The group’s interpretation of the Furious Five’s “The Message” – released under the pseudonym “Mighty Mo & the Winchester Seven” on the Finnish phantasy label “Peace Street” sold extremely well without any promotion and proper distribution. Kenny Dope got hold of the scarce 45 and decided to do some fresh remixes/re-edits of the track which was released on Kay-Dee Records.
