Ashford and Simpson produced numerous versions (Gladys Knight and the Pips&#8217; take being the most famous), while John Davis and the Monster Orchestra served up their own typically over-the-top take. It&#8217;s arguably their instrumental version, though, that remains the greatest take. Here, it gets a welcome reissue backed by an epic interpretation from Joaquin &#8220;Joe&#8221; Claussell. His eleven-minute &#8220;Classic Remix&#8221; &#8211; effectively a Tom Moulton style 12&#8243; rework &#8211; does a great job in teasing out the killer drum breaks, flitting between percussive passages and sections that showcase the original&#8217;s now familiar orchestrated sweeps. It&#8217;s a fantastic remix that will do wonders on disco dancefloors.<\/p>\n<p>Label: Groovin Italy<br \/>\nFormat: 12&#8243;<br \/>\nCat: GR 1225<br \/>\nReleased: 22 Dec 17<br \/>\nGenre: Disco\/Nu-Disco<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.juno.co.uk\/products\/ashford-simpson-bourgie-bourgie\/670395-01\/?ref=motionfm\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>BUY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tracklist<br \/>\nSide 1<br \/>\n1. \t&#8220;Bourgie Bourgie&#8221; (6:05)<br \/>\nSide 2<br \/>\n1. \t&#8220;Bourgie Bourgie&#8221; (Joe Claussell Classic remix) (11:15)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It would be fair to say that &#8220;Bourgie Bourgie&#8221; was one of the 1970s disco scene&#8217;s true staples.
