Note: As time goes by ... I probably downloaded this torrent in 2008 or 2009 from BTJunkie, if I remember rightly, a couple of years before I became an uploader myself. It comes at 192 Kbps, but it sound surprisingly good. All these years I have been looking fir a better version but, unfortunately, I haven't been able to find one. Well, that's how the cookie crumbles. Anyway, enjoy!

For those that don't know, Mancuso was a NYC DJ and central figure in the birth of modern dance music culture. Beginning in the mid-1960s, he began spinning records for friends at his loft to pay the rent, a long radical tradition in NYC. The popularity of this initial bash prompted Mancuso to begin throwing a regular party at his place, providing the inspiration for future spaces like Paradise Garage, The Gallery, 12 West, The Flamingo and later The Saint, as well as future dance legends like Larry Levan, Frankie Knuckles, Tony Humphries, David Morales and many more
