70's Funk Sensations - Various Artists

Advantages: Fab price; Far better tracklisting than most 70s compilations; Loads of classics!

So Many Men So Little Time - Miquel Brown. From 1983 and produced by Ian Levine, the same guy who wrote and produced High Energy. This track was actually the 1st creation in the HI-NRG club music genre made in an attempt to prove disco wasn't dead. According to Ian Levines Youtube entry it was #1 pop in... Read review
