The Don's selections cross time, space and genre and his Crucial Vinyl is Take it Off, released by Chic in 1981.

The Don's selections cross time, space and genre. Each week he blends his favourite new music with classics from the UK, USA, Jamaica, Africa and way beyond.

He also highlights a piece of Crucial Vinyl - a cherished item from his own record collection. This week it's Take It Off, released by Chic in 1981.

Don says, 'This lesser-known album by Chic was released after the anti-disco backlash Stateside in the early 80s and it suffered consequently. But it's a worthy companion to their first three hit-filled albums centred, as it was, on the magical combination of bassist the late Bernard Edwards and inimitable guitarist Nile Rodgers.'.
