CD Reviews
Great to see this Giorgio Moroder production back on CD, but

"Giorgio Moroder, famed producer of all Donna Summer's disco albums, did 3 albums with Roberta Kelly, and finally, we get one of them on CD. Actually, the majority of this album was on 2 different Unidisc CD singles in the 90s, and comparing those with this new reissue, the sound is quite different. This CD sticks closer to the true sound of the original recording, where as, if you compare, you can now tell that the Unidisc version was somewhat 'remixed' to give it a fuller, bassier sound. So, depending on your tastes, the 'enhanced' dance thumps of the Unidisc singles may be what you prefer.
My only real complaint about this release is that, considering all three of Kelly's Moroder produced albums seriously need to be on CD, WHY didn't they make this a 2-on-1 and include one of her other albums? This CD runs only 30 minutes long in its entirety! That leaves 50 minutes of unused space!!! Let's just hope this sells well enough so Gold Legion will consider issuing the "Troublemaker" and "Gettin' the Spirit" CDs."

"33 years awaiting for this gem to be released on CD. Mastering is great and this is a must have for disco freaks! Songs are very cacthy and Roberta Kelly represents one of the lights of the 70's.
The Only shame is that nobody knows this gem is released on cd! The Label should promote it better! I did not see in any record shop in Paris and when i mention to the buyers they are not aware of it!"

"I just love this CD. As a teenager I use to dance to these great songs in the Disco's of New York.
Zodiac's brings back many cherished memories. Love the entire 12" version of Zodiac/Love Sign/Funky Stardust."

"If you were around 33 years ago and had any boogie sense, you were dancing to these funky star-kissed songs. Yes Virginia, Giorgio Moroder was God. Great remastering by Gold Legion. Disco Rules!"
