Webster Station - Are You For Real EPPreviously Unreleased Boogie Funk from Dayton, Ohio. Webster Station was a demo session recorded for Warner Bros. in 1979. The demo was rejected for not being 'mainstream' enough for their label and the tape remained in an A&R office for over 3 decades. Family Groove has faithfully restored the original 1 4" demo reel. Limited repress 500 copies. Great discovery Proper Disco Boogie GILLES PETERSON
