Cowley, Patrick
School Daze (2lp)
Perhaps one of the most revolutionary and influential people in the cannon of disco music, PATRICK COWLEY created his
own brand of hi-NRG dance music coined "The San Francisco Sound". This very special LP features a compilation of
restored Cowley productions unearthed in the garage of vintage gay porn company Fox Studio. Spanning nearly 90 minutes,
the 11 tracks (originally recorded between 1973 and 1981), epitomize Cowley's forward thinking and his affinity for
mixing elements of varying styles of music. Simply put, Cowley was a musical trailblazer ahead of his time. His credits
as a producer include SYLVESTER's 'Do You Wanna Funk', PAUL PARKER's 'Right On Target' and collaborations with JORGE
SOCCARAS of INDOOR LIFE. An early victim of AIDS, Cowley passed away at the age of 32. Now these recordings shine a new
light on the experimental side of a disco legend who was taken too soon from us. Featuring over 80 minutes of music,
this compilation contains soundtrack music from two Fox Studio films, 'Muscle Up' and 'School Daze', which have never
before been released on vinyl. The tapes were restored and transferred using the same speed and pitch settings, then
remastered for vinyl by GEORGE HORN at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, CA. The vinyl comes housed in a glossy dual pocket
gatefold featuring classic gay porn imagery from the Fox Studio vaults plus an essay Soccaras. For Patrick's 63rd
birthday, Dark Entries and Honey Soundsystem present a glimpse into the instrumental world of a young genius. All
proceeds from the release will go to the San Francisco AIDS Foundation.
