Description:
Explore a hidden treasure of NYC post-disco and boogie gems from 1980–1983 with Richie Weeks - The Love Magician Archives: Boogie & Post Disco, NYC 1980–1983 Vol.3. This exclusive collection showcases rare, previously unreleased tracks from one of New York City’s most influential post-disco artists, Richie Weeks.
Based in the vibrant NYC scene of the early 1980s, Richie Weeks was a prominent figure at legendary venues like Paradise Garage, Studio 54, Roseland, and Bond International. Signed to Salsoul Records, he was best known for his hit “Rock Your World” (1981) and his innovative work with projects like The Jammers and Weeks & Co., which achieved chart success both in the U.S. and internationally. Throughout this period, Richie was prolific in the studio, crafting dancefloor anthems - many of which remained unreleased until now.
Richie Weeks - The Love Magician Archives is the third volume in a series curated by Jerome Derradji and Past Due Records. Spanning 1980 to 1983, this double LP features eight electrifying tracks from The Jammers, Weeks & Co., Kaviar, and Hot Cargo. Each track highlights Richie’s exceptional songwriting, production, vocals, and arrangements - delivering futuristic grooves and soulful boogie vibes that remain timeless.
Housed in a deluxe double LP package with an insert narrating Richie’s musical journey - written by Derradji - this release is a vital addition to any serious crate-digger’s collection and a significant chapter in NYC’s post-disco history.
