As far as my limited research suggests NYC label TNT Unlimited (Brooktown Records) was responsible for only three 12" releases in its very short run. I own two of them. The third release by a group called Fire and Ice is the rarest of the lot but the least essential in my opinion. Alternately, "You Can't Have It" by Stargaze (featuring a mix by Tony Humphries) and "Get Your Body Up" by Serena are pretty heavy tunes from the peak 1982-83 boogie era. TNT folded in '83 shortly after the Serena 12" dropped, leaving several collectible and sought after releases in its wake.
Stargaze - You Can't Have It (Instrumental)
Serena - Get Your Body Up
The Fire and Ice 12" is the fattest in my opinion, hypnotic and incredibly funky. Like a Chic record. I have it but too bad you won't share it here... Many would love it, I think. Great site btw. Koen
