Classic Disco with Surprises.

"Nothing but fun here! Released in the late 80's, this compilation of 70's disco is a good find. Drawing from the vaults of RCA, you can find gems like 'Turn the Beat Around' by Vicki Sue Robinson. 'Rock the Boat', by the Hues Corporation, amoung others. A nice surprise was 'Happiness is Just Around the Bend' from the Main Ingredient. A song the seems like a throw-away, but slowly creeps into your mind and stays there. With a very mid-tempo beat at that.



Don't forget Dr. Buzzard's Original Savanna Band!! (Who?). Yes their entry, Cherchez La Femme. A Latin-flavored disco tune with the most thoughtful lyrics you will ever hear in disco. Just for the record, Dr. Buzzard contains members that would be in the group Kid Creole & the Coconuts.



Also contains 'Dancin'(single version), by Grey & Hanks (of 'You Fooled Me' Fame from the late 70's also). 'I Can Understand It'(single version), by New Birth.



Overall, a good intro or re-intro to 70's disco at RCA.



Thats My-2-Cents. Enjoy the music."

"I thought I would let everyone know that this CD has the original full-length album version of "Turn The Beat Around" by Vicki Sue Robinson (5:30) and the song "There But For The Grace Of God Go I" by Machine has the original piano intro at the beginning (5:16)."
