Intro
Patrick Adams
Greg Carmichael and Patrick Adams produced many projects together between 1974 and 1982. For example they produced Inner Life, Bumblebee Unlimited and "Touch me" by Fonda Rae to just name a few. Many of these releases have become collectors items and are very hard to find these days... In a late 1998 interview, Patrick Adams says that Greg Carmichael is currently trying to open a dance club in the Bronx, New York.

'I'm caught up' was originally released as a 12"inch single by Greg Carmichael on TCT Records. Within a week of its release a bidding war broke out between Prelude and what was to become Profile Records. Prelude won by bidding $17,500 for the rights to the single. At the time this was an un-heard of amount for one single record. One year before, the entire "Keep On Jumpin" LP by Musique had cost only $16,000 to make.
