This review is from: Disco Nights 2: Best of Discofunk (Audio CD)

Disco Nights is the series that should have--but didn't go the extra mile. Promising Extended and Long Versions, it always makes sure no song runs much more than 7 minutes, even if that means editing 12" versions. This time around, you get:

1. Celebration (5:00)

2. Shake Your Groove Thing (6:41)

3. Let It Whip (4:32) (not the 12"!!!)

4. FLashlight (5:49) (the full version is over 10 minutes long)

5. Stomp (6:03)

6. Sugar Pie Guy (4:37) (not the 12")

7. Got To Give it Up (6:03) (original is over 11 minutes long)

8. Jungle Boogie (3:07)

9. Burn Rubber (5:34)

10. Put Your Body In It (6:06)

11. Don't Let Go (7:21) (edit of 12" version)

12. Hang on in there (5:08)

4.0 out of 5 stars FUNKY DISCO FUN, December 27, 2000

This review is from: Disco Nights 2: Best of Discofunk (Audio CD)

Another brilliant album in this Disco Nights series, with great classics like the explosive P-Funk of Parliament's "Flash Light," Isaac Hayes' hypnotic "Don't Let Go" and Kool & The Gang's exuberant "Celebration." Great value for money and a superb introduction to an important sub-genre of 70s disco.

This review is from: Disco Nights 2: Best of Discofunk (Audio CD)

This is a great CD because it contains the LONG versions of some great all time disco funk classics.

Although Disco isn't my favorite type of music per-se, I am a devout rocker with a alternative bent, I LOVE a few cuts here.

My first radio on-air job was in the Urban/CHR hits format. "Burn Rubber" from the Gap Band is one of my all-time favorite songs that I fell in love with at that time of my life. It is on here in all it's great funky entirety. A must have song from the brothers Wilson, not featured on any other compliations.

Another set of brothers, Johnson that is, do the other must have disco funk classic "Stomp" here. This song isn't featured on any other compilation I searched. I looked high and low at over 200 available CDs here at amazon, and found this cut included as well.

There's lots of good material for any disco funkster to boogie down with, like "Jungle Boogie" from Kool & TG, but in a really perfect world, "Take My Heart" would've been included too. Hey, bottom line, this is WELL worth a spot in your CD collections disco section.
