Hot Cargo - What’s In It For Me [Past Due Records]

Format: 7".

As a preview of the upcoming release Richie Weeks’ The Love Magician Archives: Boogie & Post Disco. NYC 1980–1983 Vol. 3 on Past Due Records, we are proud to present a stunning 7” single with two unreleased versions of What's In It For Me by Hot Cargo.

Hot Cargo was a new project that Richie Weeks developed with Salsoul Records around 1982–83, right at the height of the Post-Disco and Boogie Funk explosion in New York. These two versions were recorded at the legendary Right Track Studios, with a stellar lineup of top-tier disco and funk musicians.

Had it seen the light of day back then, there is no doubt that What's In It For Me would have become a staple at Larry Levan's Paradise Garage, and another major hit in Richie Weeks' unstoppable career.
