The first instalment is ‘Disco Fever USA’ which features 22 tracks, all in their 12" or long album versions, many of which are on CD for the first time! Disco was born in the USA so what better way to start the new series than an album full to bursting with some of the best disco the US ever gave us?
Stand out tracks on CD 1 include ‘Sunshine Hotel’ by Richard T. Bear, the atmospheric and haunting ‘Like An Eagle’ by Dennis Parker, Tom Moulton’s mix of ‘Why Must A Girl Like Me’ by Claudja Barry, ‘Love Dancing’ by Marlena Shaw and for the first time on CD and taken from the original 1/4" production master, ‘You’re The Fire’ by Whitney’s mum and veteran vocalist Cissy Houston.
CD 2 kicks off with a fantastic cover of Stevie Wonder’s ‘Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday’ by Disco Discharge faves Boys Town Gang plus other highlights include the sublime ‘One Love’ by Celi Bee & The Buzzy Bunch, Johnny Mathis’s superb disco take on the Cole Porter standard ‘Begin The Beguine’ which is a real rarity and again taken from the original 1/4 inch production master, Ultimate’s ‘Ritmo De Brazil and from probably the worst disco movie ever ‘Nocturna: Granddaughter of Dracula’, two career highlight tracks, ‘Love Is Just A Heartbeat Away’ by Gloria Gaynor and the vampish ‘Nighttime Fantasy’ from Vicki Sue Robinson, both included here in the original full-length soundtrack versions.
