VINYL FORMAT. Comes in a Warner Brothers Records promo sleeve. Tracks are "Long Train Runnin' (Dennis Perez Classic Remix), "Long Train Runnin' (Dee's Churchapella)" and "Long Train Runnin' (Dee's F Train Beats)."
Dennis Perez remixes, as played heavily by Joe Claussell. The all time classic rock/disco vocal "Long Train Runnin'" gets the new and most respectful remix treatment from Brooklyn's own Dennis Perez. Taking the original masters of The Doobie Brothers' cathartic masterpiece and remixing it with the classic NYC wit of original disco ingenuity, Perez transforms and elevates the original magic, reformulating and refreshing it's most powerful base elements to create something entirely new - and yet still definitively classic in it's own contemporary right. With brand new arrangement, direction and instrumentation - most notably the stunning organ solo that really punctuates the piece right in the midst of classic's triumphant crescendo - add a new force and vitality to this already timeless production. With a high quality pressing and replica artwork to boot this 12" reinvigorates our historical gaze on the classic disco genre, reminding us that the notorious "edit" is not the only means by which we can appreciate and re-contextualize the past.
