Title: Gino Dentie And The Family - Direct Disco Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1976, Disco, Funk Disco/Direct-to-Disc, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania / San Francisco, California 6/26 Matrix #: CCS 5002 Condition: EX, sounds great, looks great CC | Members: Gino D (N/A), Lou P (N/A - 90'), Henry D (N/A), Bill W (N/A), Bob C (N/A), Bruce M (N/A) Cultural Facts:
Studio Lore Direct Disco was issued by Crystal Clear Records, a San Francisco direct-to-disc audiophile label, meaning the music was cut live straight to lacquer instead of built through normal multitrack studio layering.
Personal Struggle Gino Dentie’s career is oddly thin in public documentation, leaving this record as the main collector artifact from a performer who moved through disco, acting, and later entertainment work.
Scene Ecology The credited band included funk/disco players like Lou “Big Daddy” Pampino, Henry “Mando Mambo” Dandini, Bob Conti, Bill Wild, and a full horn section, giving the record more live-band muscle than a lot of studio disco.
