Description:

Queen Yahna – 'Ain't It Time' is a genuine slice of P&P disco gold, finally receiving an official reissue after becoming a favourite with some of the biggest names in underground dance music, including Floating Points and Theo Parrish. Originally released in 1976, this soulful disco classic combines Yahna's powerful low-register vocals with sumptuous production, soaring strings, glorious horns and conga-led percussion.

A true New York disco classic, 'Ain't It Time' showcases Queen Yahna at her finest, with succulent soul-soaked vocals taking centre stage through commanding melismatics and effortlessly delivered ad-libs. The arrangement is packed with feel-good energy, combining peaking orchestral strings, punchy horns and infectious percussion into an irresistible dancefloor disco groove.

The track originally appeared on P&P Records, the legendary New York label run by Peter Brown and Patrick Adams, and has become a highly sought-after piece of disco history. Queen Yahna was also renowned for her involvement with the P&P All Stars supergroup, cementing her place in the rich musical history surrounding one of the most influential independent disco labels of the 1970s.

On the flip, the 'Ain't It Time (Instrumental)' strips away the lead vocal and lets the production shine. Produced by the mysterious Capraquarius, the instrumental keeps the disco train rolling with pistoning strings, choppy drums and defiant rhythm guitar creating a propulsive, DJ-friendly groove. A brilliant two-sided 7 inch disco record that delivers classic New York soul and disco energy from start to finish.

Perfect for DJs and collectors looking for disco 7 inch vinyl, soul disco records, rare groove, classic New York disco and essential reissues from the legendary P&P Records catalogue.
