4.0 out of 5 stars A few very good, rare tracks, February 2, 2008

By 

Curmudgeon "grantc" (West Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Disco Classics Volume 1 (Audio CD)

This release looks like a cheap knockoff from the pre-downloading era; the scant track information, cheap graphics and complete absence of liner notes looks very poor in comparison with today's deluxe reissues. Luckily, there are some great, obscure tracks in this series (vols. 1-3) which rightfully rescue them from the bargain bin. "Savage Lover" and "Fear" are particularly good, but most of this stuff is GAY GAY GAY from back in the day - if you were around in the clubs late 70s/early 80s this will definitely tickle your ears, but if you like melodic (euro)disco with traditional song structures you could do a lot worse.

The editorial leads you to believe your getting the 12 version of Ring My Bell. However, This 12" has been edited down from 8 to 6 minutes. The back of the cd also lists Feels Like I'm In Love by Kelly Marie instead of Run To Me. Since you only get 10 songs this is really below average. Honestly I don't remember half of these songs but, it was nice to get Roni Griffith.
