[Chelsea Press 2]

from DiscoMusic.com:

December 1, 2007. "HOT SHOT - The Karen Young Reheat", has just been released for club play by MaxRoxx Music. The album includes a remix by DJ Ralphi Rosario and Craig J, an original remake and two dubs by the MaxRoxx team, and for the first time in years, the 1978 original 12-inch version, with a 126 bpm and a sonically-enhanced bottom. An advance-release CD will be available for purchase from Perfect Beat on December 12 (perfectbeat.com) December 27 is the scheduled street date for worldwide digital download. My partners at MaxRoxx Music and I are thrilled to be unleashing Karen Young's historic vocal on "Hot Shot" once again. Karen's performance on this classic dance hit will now be available for all those who knew it "back in the day" and also for those who have yet to discover the magic of it that captivated the world in 1978 when the record went to #1. Thanks to everyone who helped make "Hot Shot" one of those extraordinary songs that triggers happy memories of that era known as The Disco Years. Disco lives on in our hearts, our minds, and our spirit.

OH!!! WOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!
This is my first post ever in the Dance Board, but I couldn't help it! :)
I usually check the BB Dance/Club Chart weekly, and I have seen "Hot Shot" climbing up the top20 since January. I saw it and got overexcited!!!
I L-O-V-E the original track. I was born in 1975 and Hot Shot was one of the first songs I ever heard and definitely one of the first songs that my mom used to teach me how to dance. I cherish the 45 rpm vynil single with 2 versions of the song. I think it was from MCA, I remember the pink color. It's such a great and fun song... and it was quite a shock to me when I discovered that such a deep strong voice was from a white woman ;)
I'm not sure how big this version is now, and I haven't even heard it yet, but I'll try to get it soon!!!

Andy Kahn mentioned at DJRicoMixshow that there are some more mixes coming for this one. He didn't give specifics on who did the mixes. :( Hopefully soon.

Additional mix by Paul Goodyear was sent out and made available for purchase.

It is a tribal/electro mix. It's pretty good. I wish it was a bit harder and more anthemic like his Whitney Houston mix, but it's still decent.
