They collaborated as members of \u003cstrong\u003eUnyque\u003c\/strong\u003e and established the Vanton label in 1980 as a vehicle for their music to exist free from the constraints of the major label system. “I Can’t Get Along Without You” is considerably slower and more soulful than the peak-hour disco they created as Unyqye, thanks to Eleton bringing in elements of the smooth Philadelphia sound he revered, and the intertwined vocals of Vance and childhood friend \u003cstrong\u003eSuzzanne Slaughter\u003c\/strong\u003e, who had been a backup singer for \u003cstrong\u003eSister Sledge\u003c\/strong\u003e and other New York groups. The track was written overnight and cut the next day in one session; there were plans to re-record the song and add strings, but after 2,000 promo copies (which, in 1980, was an incredibly small amount of records) were pressed and distributed to \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Larry+Levan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLarry Levan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e and other DJs via record pools, the song quickly entered regular rotation in NYC and Philly nightclubs and it was a wrap. It’s been a serious collector’s piece ever since, rarely fetching fewer than triple digits and spawning several crappy bootlegs over the years; now officially repressed with the blessing of Vance’s family, housed in new pic sleeve featuring a never-before-seen press photo and extensive liner notes sourced from interviews with Eleton and Vance’s wife. Cut nice and loud at 45rpm, features the instrumental on the flip.
