-LET’S DO IT Alto Passion AL 1001

Michel Gendreau: Montreal Club DJ and Radio & TV Musical Director was one of the main creators of the famous disco mix-Let's Do it.

Here is the story behind it: A guy named Michel Ali brought a tape with a mix one night at the club where Michel was spinning.
After listening to it the splices were not that great, the sound was uneven, the records were old and full of noise. It needed to be cleaned up but Michel saw the potential.

So the whole medley was redone from scratch with Michel's records and a third guy named Paul Richer who was a great splicer. The medley was created in two parts.

The first part that was redone was the original beatles medley that started with 'Video killed the radio star' and then eventualy finished with  the Beatles songs. The second part was the intro and finish of the medley.
The idea was get the  patrons on the dance floor with popular disco hits of the moment and mix in the 10" tape that was used when they started playing it(no bootleg yet).
There was no pitch on the reel to reel so Michel ajusted the pitch on his turntable that was playing one of the intro songs(funkytown was a sure bet).
So the medley could be introduced smoothly and people would just continue dancing on the old beatles songs.
No DJ's in clubs in Montreal were playing old Beatles songs in 1979 so this was a high risk decision to test this medley.
As for the ending *The JB's was a big hit in Montreal at that time so if they lost the patrons on the beatles songs they could get them back on ot the dance floor with the JB's.
Michel did not want to take any chances, but history has proven that this was a fantastic medley one of the rare bootlegs that was used to create a commercial success(Stars on 45).

Some people asked Michel to add more Beatles songs in the medley but he always refused and to this day says that the original mix is still the best one out there.

Here is the picture of the tape recorder that the mix was made on:
