V.A. The Ladies Of Too Slow To Disco Volume 2 Black Vinyl Ediiton

On Volume 2 of The Ladies of Too Slow to Disco, DJ Supermarkt has brought together 16 compelling tunes and hidden gems from 1974-82 that tell a deeper, more political story, while taking the suave sounds you love into new territory: soul, gospel and jazz. The songs on this compilation are from women who were taking control of their own careers, making an independent stance in the some of the most trying years for women in the history of the recording industry. In an effort to tell the often untold, yet deeply influential, stories of this delicious period of music, Volume 2 highlights songs from players who broke through the machismo that sat upon the glass ceiling before them to create classics.

You will discover artists here who were movers and shakers from the 1970s Women’s Music movement, artists determined to fashion a music industry that worked for them. They started their own, wholly independent labels like Olivia Records (formed as early as 1973), where everyone on the payroll was female, from the accountants to the producers to the incredible talent behind the microphone and every instrument played. Twenty years before Riot Grrrl struck a blow for women-fronted DIY productions, this was a nascent feminist music industry.
