Disco Fantasy - Various Artists

Advantages: Fantastic Variety
Disadvantages: None

...I would recommend this to anyone, young people and older people. Anyone who likes 70's music. The variety of music on this CD is much more than any other disco CD I have seen. This is the type of CD that you can put on in your car while driving to work and it will cheer up your day or get you in the mood for a party. The album is full of oldies but goodies, that make you want to sing and dance. Ofcourse it holds all of the 70's classics like The Jacksons, Earth Wind and Fire and Candi Staton, which you find on all other 70's and disco cd's but 101 Disco Anthems has so much more "Hustle" to offer!...

Take it from someone who lived through all 3 decades, disco was dead and gone by the 1980's. So whats on this album then? 1. High Energy - Evelyn Thomas. This was #1 in a few places in 1984 but...

Advantages: A good selection of well known disco classics
Disadvantages: A mere tip of a whopping great big disco iceberg, shop around for some real disco gems!

...I believe that a purchase of "Disco Fever" provide you with pretty much a decent selection of classic disco classics. I dont feel that the tracks on the CD are by far the best funk/disco tracks out there, however for a nostalgic take on the disco era, not a bad effort. heres the track listing: 1. I Will Survive - Gaynor, Gloria 2. Rock Your Baby - McCrae, George 3. We Are Family - Sister Sledge 4. Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood - Santa Esmeralda 5. I Gotcha - Tex, Joe 6. Superfly - Mayfield, Curtis 7. Boogie Nights - Heatwave 8. Car Wash - Rose Royce 9. Cuba - Gibson Brothers 10. Papa Was A Rollin' Stone - Temptations 11. I Want To Take You Higher - Turner, Ike & Tina 12. She's A Lady - Jones, Tom 13. Get On The Good Foot - Brown, James 14. You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine - Rawls, Lou 15... Read review
