The disco smash, originally released in 1974, will be reissued in its original form together with remixes from 1986 and 1989 (available digitally for the first time). There is also a previously unreleased instrumental version of the song.

‘Kung Fu Fighting’ was written and recorded by Douglas in 1974. It was originally going to be the B-side to ‘I Want To Give You My Everything’ and it took ten minutes to record. Douglas’ record label Pye Records released it as an A-side and the song went on to earn its place in history.

Fans of Douglas can also get their hands on new album ‘Kung Fu Fighting: The Best of Carl Douglas’ and Douglas’ first three original Pye Records albums will be released digitally for the first time – ‘Kung Fu Fighter’ (1974), ‘Love Peace and Happiness’ (1977) and ‘Keep Pleasing Me’ (1977).
