4.0 out of 5 stars Deep satisfying cuts from the days between disco and MTV., November 23, 1998

Even though this CD has only one or two songs that the average top 40 radio listener has ever heard, it doesn't stop it from being a revelation of how good dance music was even after disco supposedly died. A couple of songs tank and a couple are embarassing, but overall this is a great party album for 30-somethings (I recommend putting all the Billboard Disco/Dance CDs from 1976 to 1981 in a CD changer and letting it be the DJ for the whole night).

The Billboard Top Dance series should have been full length club mixes of dance hits, but most of the series is selective about what gets a full treatment. Here, the only long versions are: Rapture (10:05), Paradise (5:15), You Can (5:36), Try It Out (8:10), and Can You Move (8:32). All other are 4 minutes or less.
