Beschrijving
This 2 disc set is one of the very finest disco compilations to be found. It represents the dance music of the late 70;s and early 80;s that was played in clubs, not on radio. Therefore it does not contain the oft-recycled kc, bee gees, or village people. These songs didnt make the top 40 or the top 100 for that matter, but were beloved by the denizens of the clubs that set the trends.Joey negro compiled here a sterling set of extended dance songs that hold up well and have not suffered from overexposure. The liner notes are extensive and informative. The first cd is a sheer delight.this disc is nearly perfect, containing 8 exceptional tracks: ;bourgie bourgie; by john davis and the monster orchestra, ;let me down easy by rare pleasure (later covered by first choice), ;i don;t want you back by ramona brooks, ;come back lover; by fresh band, ;feel it; by revelatio n (no misnomer), ;you;ve got that something; by logg (featuring leroy burgess on lead vocals), ;don;t turn your back on me; by the frontline orchestra, and the daffy semi-instrumental "in the forest; by baby o. Two additional tracks on disc one are good but not of the superb quality of the earliersongs.
The second disc is still strong, containing three average rareties, two above average songs (;que tal america; by 2 man sound and ;i wanna be loved; by family of eve). T hree songs are excellent.;I;ll be your pleasure; is a little heard esther williams number; ;take some time out for love is credited to the salsoul orchestra but, vocals provided by jovelyn brown, it serves almost as an inner life track; and ;together forever; by exodus is an unusual piece, with an extended a capella intro leading to a powerful, percussive body. The weakest track on the entire set is ;trinidad; by john gibbs, although this was a dance floor favorite in its time despite the ;love boat lyrics and singing. The ratio of great songs to average ones is better here than every other compilation i;ve found except jumpin; 2. To have such a set of nearly lost tracks is a treasure. It is for disco and dance music lovers a bargain at 3 times the price. It;s simply essential.
