Play Disco Specials was produced by Ray Nkwe who also worked with Mankunku Quartet and The Soul Jazzmen, with all writing credits on the album going to Ray, the recording credited to engineer Robin Ritchie and the artwork to Carol Knowles. Other than this, the personnel of the record remains a mystery, but sometimes a bit of mystery is a good thing. Aside from the disco-jazz-funk of Disco Stomp, which has found its way into the DJ sets of Theo Parrish, Play Disco Specials will appeal to fans of The Star Beams South African contemporaries The Drive, Batsumi and Pacific Express.
