Within three years of its emergence in 1981, AIDS had the triple effect of wiping out the musicians, producers, and dancers from San Francisco, relocating the center of high-energy music production to the United Kingdom. But it took a while for the dance community to realize the significance of so many deaths, partly because the parties continued unabated and because Patrick Cowley left so many unfinished projects that would see the light of day over the course of 1982–1983. In fact, there was still much to celebrate in San Francisco’s dance music world during these transitional years. Sylvester, relocated to Megatone Records, released a string of high-energy hits. Likewise, Paul Parker’s album exceeded all expectations, confirming Megatone’s place as a world leader in dance music. Moby Dick Records also peaked in 1982, with Loverde scoring big, and established acts Lisa and Boys Town Gang topping the charts throughout the year. |
