    Disco compilation recommendation please?

    After watching the 70s disco specials on a few weeks ago I'm after a really really good multi cd compilation any recommendations? Please

    I particularly like songs like love train by the O Jays and Detroit spinners type classics of the 70s , 70s only music though if possible.

    Buy it - don't listen to any clips before you do - put aside a hour or so when it arrives and play it loud - awesome.



    This is also a classic.

    Frank (found a cure) will hopefully be along to give you a few pointers - he's is, after all, the unashamed Disco diva of the Wam and does a mean funky gibbon when off his tits on cider - which is quite often.

    Hmm.
    There is a series called Disco Discharge, about four or five doubles.
    Soul Jazz did a nice set of Tom Moulton mixes as well. They also put out some good comps of Morales and Walter Gibbons, good reissue label.
    There are some 'semi-official' sets compiling tracks played by Larry Levan and David Mancuso at The Paradise Garage and Loft respectively.
    Al Kent did a 5-cd set which has some good tracks in it, albeit mostly re-edited by himself.
    Paper and Strut put out some good comps too. (Incl. Danny Krivits' edits which are v good.)
    'Lets Dance' on Columbia has some nice tracks on it. I have it on vinyl but I think it was done on CD later too.
    Some of the very early Hed Kandi comps before they went horribly commercial were alright from memory.

    this is slighty more obscure disco/soul,but excellent all the same..

    this is brill,dimitri from paris re-edits on 1 disc,and originals on the other..
    but most walter gibbons,danny krivit,kenny dope dico edit cds are always good,or go by the labels,for example there`s a great 3cd from salsoul on amazon going for £5 ish...

    but please remember,the most important thing ................................do the hustle

    Tom Moulton-



    I will get my copy of Dancer at The Dance out to read again on the train.
    Incidently Op, if you can borrow either Love saves The Day by Tim Lawrence or Last night a DJ Saved my life by Frank Broughton and Bill Brewster, there are useful discographies to give you some inspiration. Or even The Disco Files by Vince Alettii to see how the charts happened (and you have lots of time spare!)

    I advise - since most 'Disco' was actually shite (although better than the rave-trance-dance-whatever turds) - that whatever you get, you add the 2 most popular/danciest actually played in 1970s discotheques songs - Jeff Beck 'Hi ho silver lining', and Stones 'Get offfffffffffofaaaa me cloud'.
    'Sometimes via the senses, mostly in the mind' (or pocket)...
