This album is a rare treat to those who know anything about the disco era. You have to have a great deal of appreciation for those artists that who struggled to be heard and had a good time accomplishing a beat that everyone can still enjoy for years to come. It's the reason why artist today can't begin to comprehend what real music is all about.

Although at face value this looks like a great compilation of hard to come by Gregg Diamond material, be warned that the quality of this CD is truly awful. It sounds as if it has been remastered in a garden shed!
For the price this CD now commands you would be far better off buying the original vinyl and having it professionally remastered.

I agree with one of the previous reviewers on the production of this CD. The songs were recorded directly from vinyl without any re-mastering. You can hear the tracking of the needle on the record. Also, it sounds like it was recorded in a tin room. Not worth the asking price.

I am not a big fan of Luther Vandross and Ms. Houston's music, However after listening to them sing Papillon, my respects. They harmonize great together and the disco arrangements still sound great decades later. I bought this cd mainly for Chaka Kahn and Samantha Fox (too bad Chaka Kahn's song is not the long version) fortunatelly, my two other favorites are over 8 minutes long and the majority of the tracks are over 6 minutes long. Since I was not old enough to get inside the discos back in the late 70's I am glad this compilation is available now because it trully makes one feel as if you are going back in time dancing at Studio 1 or Circus Disco. I hope more compilations like this one become available with rare and hard to find disco tracks.
