Kicking off with the genre defining #1 from Donna Summer 'I Feel Love' followed by Earth, Wind & Fire with The Emotions and their timeless hit 'Boogie Wonderland', this boxset features the most enduring tracks from dance-floor legends, including Chic, Sister Sledge, Gloria Gaynor, Village People, and Grace Jones - together with Saturday Night Fever gems - 'Disco Inferno', 'More Than A Woman', and 'If I Can't Have You'. LP 2 opens with Amii Stewart's stunning version of 'Knock On Wood', followed by Candi Staton's 'Young Hearts Run Free' and Chaka Khan's hugely successful debut solo single 'I'm Every Woman'. Other massive debuts include 'Boogie Oogie Oogie' from A Taste Of Honey, Alicia Bridges' 'I Love The Nightlife (Disco 'Round)', and Cheryl Lynn's 'Got To Be Real'. Up next is the often-covered 'Lady Marmalade' together with Diana Ross' 'Love Hangover' which lead into #1s from Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, ('December, 1963 (Oh, What A Night)'), Tina Charles ('I Love To Love'), Odyssey ('Use It Up And Wear It Out') and Irene Cara ('Fame'). LP 3 Side A is packed with groovy and romantic chart-toppers from Elton John ('Are You Ready For Love'), George McCrae ('Rock Your Baby'), Barry White ('You're The First, The Last, My Everything'), and The Spinners with their 'Working My Way Back To You/Forgive Me, Girl' medley. Flipping over to the other side, we have the timeless smash from Baccara 'Yes Sir, I Can Boogie', Boney M. with 'Daddy Cool', and Village People's 'In The Navy'. Viola Wills' Hi-NRG cover of 'Gonna Get Along Without You Now' and Gloria Gaynor's 'Never Can Say Goodbye' bring LP 3 to a close. Lipps Inc., Kool & The Gang, Frantique, and KC & The Sunshine Band keep the dance-floor energy levels high on LP 4 with 'Funkytown', 'Ladies Night', 'Strut Your Funky Stuff', and 'That's The Way (I Like It)'. The disco-mania of the late-70s also saluted the late-70s craze for Space themed movies & tv with early Electro-pop-dance, and included here from Space and Dee D. Jackson, before Sarah Brightman's debut with Hot Gossip, 'I Lost My Heart To A Starship Trooper', and Meco's remake of the 'Star Wars Theme/Cantina Band' as a dance-floor classic. Giorgio Moroder productions for Sparks with 'Beat The Clock' and The Three Degrees with 'Givin' Up Givin' In' lead the side to a close with 'Souvenirs' from Voyage. LP 5 is filled with truly monster sized dancefloor-fillers, beginning with a run of Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards productions: 'Le Freak', 'We Are Family', 'Spacer' and 'Upside Down' from Diana Ross. It wouldn't be a Disco album without Earth, Wind & Fire's 'September', the Bee Gees-written 'Nights On Broadway' covered by Candi Staton, and the Grammy award-winning 'Best Of My Love' from The Emotions, before another hit cover from Amii Stewart, 'Light My Fire'. Side B features some fabulous European Disco, including Belle Epoque and Amanda Lear, and signature hits from Patsy Gallant and Vicki Sue Robinson before drawing to a close with Rose Royce's celebrated 'Car Wash', and Cher's biggest disco hit 'Take Me Home' - and the last dance is left to Thelma Houston with her defining anthem 'Don't Leave Me This Way'.
