A complete disco in a box - and less than 8p a track !

You could play a fully credible disco night armed with nothing more than these five cds. If a definitive chart was made of the 500 top tunes from the dance decade of 1975-1984 this set would claim an absolute minimum of 50 places.
One ill informed reviewer knocks legenary weekender tunes on CD3 as fillers and bemoans the lack of Abba, Bee Gees and Dexy's Midnight Runners. It's precisely that absence which makes this such a credible set. I already owned perhaps 80 or 90 of these tracks but the purchase was well worth it for Janice Macclain's Smack Dab in the Middle and then again for the huge grin that spread across my face when I heard Wikka Wrap again for the first time in twenty years.
If you have only a few disco tracks in your collection then my advice is BUY THIS SET !
If on the other hand you have a huge collection of Soul and Disco then none the less BUY THIS SET !

Bread & Butter disco
Review date: 2008-07-22 Rating: 8 out of 10
My album was bought in tesco's... so that probably tells you all you need to know. If you are a hard-core disco afficionado, then you will already have most of these songs, and this LP wont wet your whistle. If you remember this period of life with memories of the school disco, then this will do the trick. A solid good value album... like BOGOF, ready meals, oven chips, lambrini (ok, not lambrini... its not that bad)... and like those deals, it deserves to be sold in tesco's.
100 Hits - DISCO
Review date: 2008-03-14 Rating: 4 out of 10
Very dissapointed. After buying other titles in this range - which overall I have been very pleased with - this one I feel is a let down. Yes, there are some great Disco tracks on CD1 excellent in fact, but then CD2 has only a few with the rest being `fillers'. CD3 tedious and boring. I certainly would not play it at a party. CD4 is worse than CD3! CD5 comes back with a few good tracks but also more filling dross. It ends with Love Train, a great dance track. There were so many Disco greats missing; where were the Bee Gees, Abba, Dexies Midnight Runners, even? The truely good tracks would just about fill two CDs. Having said that, it cost less than £7.00.
Fantastic Compilation

If you are after a single compilation of all the very best dance numbers from the late 70's and early 80's then this is it. I can guarantee that you won't be able to keep still
