Fierce Disco Vol.3 - 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: Consistency of sound, not mixed, great value
Disadvantages: Formulaic after a while, lacks credibility

...released, neither is included here probably due to the fact that Data Records is still trying to promote the original artist’s album. If you are looking for a compilation of all the chart hits then you might be better off looking for one of the Now Dance series instead. The appeal of Clubland 3 for me is discovering new tunes or re-discovering records that you’ve previously heard in the clubs. As it would be impractical (and very time-consuming) to review all 41 tracks, I’ll once again try and stick to giving a run down of my favourite tracks. With volume three, it’s harder than ever because there are so many songs here that I really like, but I’ll do my best. PLUMMET – DAMAGED The standout song of the album, the year and probably the decade – I love this song more than words can say. Damaged... Read review
