Strut proudly reintroduces a sought after independent disco gem from the Topomic catalogue: Beckie Bell’s ‘In Need Of...’, reissued in full for the first time.
Originally released in 1980, In Need Of... quickly became a cult classic of the French disco scene. After relocating from New York to Paris in the late 1970s, Bell carved out a unique space for her sound, blending the soulfulness of New York disco with the high energy sophistication of the European market.
The full debut album features some of Bell’s earliest recordings, including the full length version of 'Super Queen' (1979) and 'In The Right Place' (1980), showcasing her commanding vocal delivery and distinct musical style. Standout track 'Music Madness' has since become a much-loved disco anthem, revered by collectors and DJs alike.
In Need Of... is the product of a powerhouse creative team: Bell’s soulful vocals combine with the compositional brilliance of Lafayette Afro-Rock Band’s Arthur Young and Frank Abel, enhanced by the legendary synth work of Patrick Cowley, Jacob Desvarieux of Kassav' on guitar and keyboards and Chantal Curtis on backing vocals, all brought to life by the expert production of Pierre Jaubert.
Remastered by The Carvery, this long-awaited reissue offers a fresh opportunity to rediscover an essential piece of disco history.
