One of the most iconic grooves in funk and disco history, Chic’s ‘Soup For One’ is a tried and tested recipe for greatness — and a 12 inch vinyl essential for any serious collector. Written and produced by the legendary partnership of Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards for the 1982 romantic comedy film of the same name, this is tantalising, trademark Nile Rodgers funk strumming, sublime synth work, vocals to die for and hooks for days. Released on Mirage Records in July 1982, it peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard Soul Singles chart and No. 80 on the Hot 100.

Famously sampled by French house duo Modjo for their worldwide number one smash hit ‘Lady (Hear Me Tonight)’ in 2000, ‘Soup For One’ remains one of the most recognisable and beloved disco and funk samples in modern music history — a testament to the timeless genius of Nile Rodgers’ guitar work and Bernard Edwards’ bass playing, with Tony Thompson on drums completing one of the greatest rhythm sections ever assembled. Since 2009, Chic have regularly performed the track live, cementing its place as a cornerstone of their celebrated catalogue.

This 12 inch vinyl pressing presents the full 7:58 extended mix of ‘Soup For One’ alongside the ‘Why’ instrumental and the original album version — three essential cuts from one of the greatest bands in funk and disco history, all on one slab of wax. A genuinely timeless record that sounds as fresh and irresistible today as it did over 40 years ago.

Perfect for DJs and collectors into funk vinyl, disco 12 inch records, classic Chic releases and the essential Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards catalogue.
