The Rarest Ru Paul record SEX FREAK

Years before Supermodel work!  Ru Paul was recording for the Pop Tarts label FunTone U.S.A.  This ep called Sex Freak is Ru's most coveted and hard to find release.  It was 1985 and the track even enabled her to perform at The Saint and CBGB's among other places.  But it wasn't Ru's moment.  She had to slum it on Michael Alig's club kid scene in New York for a few more years before her career broke open wide.

I remember Ru performing so often at Larry Tee's Love Machine on Tuesdays at The Underground in Union Square that we didn't even watch the stage anymore.  It was like "Oh it's Ru again, whatever."  And then very soon after she broke nationally and everyone was on her tail.  There was the vh1 talk show and appearances in the Brady Bunch films in addition to performances acting out of drag.  Seemed like Ru held the world in the palm of her hands and then it all slowed down.  Was Ru going to become a has been?

Ru Paul's Drag Race on Logo T.V. resurrected her career in a big way.  She had continued to record dance oriented tunes but to a limited audience.  Now she had the perfect forum to promote herself and in return all the other talented drag queens in America who were lucky enough to be asked to compete on the popular t.v. show.

Here's my copy of Sex Freak in my ebay store.  Don't sleep on this listing because if you don't scoop up this collector's item someone else will! MY COPY OF SEX FREAK

THE LADY BUNNY TAKE ME UP HIGH

We at Disco Vinyl never really even mention current releases.  But The Lady Bunny is channeling her disco inner self in her latest dance release and it's not to be missed.  Just in time to capitalize on her t.v. success as an essential component of Logo T.V.'s Drag University, and her 17 years organizing Wigstock and starring in the film about it.  

 

The Lady Bunny spent 17 years creating and promoting Wigstock and is now an in demand DJ.  She has been flown to Morocco, Paris, London and many other destinations to spin her mix of disco classics and crowd pleasers.  She's currently touring her dance hit TAKE ME UP HIGH on Lybra Records.  She's got a real Sylvester groove to her voice and the beat can really take you up high.

She's charting too.  If you know anyone that buys current dance music do encourage them to check Take me Up High out.  Perhaps Bunny will go to the top!

Do check out Lady Bunny stuff on you tube.  In case you haven't been introduced to her whacky sense of humor you're in for a treat!

Take me up High is being promoted by industry legendary Bobby Shaw.

Lady Bunny can turn a glamour look when she wants to.

HERE'S A SNIPPET OF THE SWEET TEAM MIX of Take me Up High.

An avid animal rights activist here is a photo of Bunny and I at a PETA benefit in Rome a few years back. I introduced Bunny to Dan Mathews in the late 80's and their collaboration the FUR is a drag! events have become legendary all over the world.  PETA has aligned itself with camp and there ain't no goin' back.

BUNNY TWEETS

Ever the jet-setter for a price you can have Bunny at your next birthday!

Most don't know that Lady Bunny had a twelve inch dance single on Maxi Records in the mid 90's.  It was her re-make of the 1975 disco hit by Sheila and Company Shame, Shame, Shame.

If you are traveling to N.Y.C. you can catch Bunny at her weekly event at XL in Hell's Kitchen.
