THIS COMPILATION IS GREAT AS IT CONTAINS THE COMPLETE EXTENDED VERSIONS OVER 15 MINUTES LONG. HOWEVER, THERE ARE STILL MANY OTHER CLASSIC DISCO HITS THAT MR. CONSTANDINOS CREATED DURING THE DISCO ERA (MID TO LATE 70'S). THE TRACKS HERE ARE AMONG HIS EARLY WORK AND BETTER KNOWN. THESE TRACKS WERE ALSO BEAUTIFULLY ARRANGED BY DON RAY AND CONDUCTED BY JEAN CLAUDE PETIT BUT AGAIN IT'S ABOUT TIME THAT THE GREATEST HITS VOL. 2 COMES OUT. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT MR. CONSTANDINOS HAS ENOUGH MUSIC TO EVEN DO A VOLUME 3 OR EVEN A BOX SET OF 12" SINGLES (A BOX SEX WOULD BE AWESOME) BUT I WOULD SETTLE FOR GREATEST HITS VOLS.2 & 3.

This is awesome music, but not at this price. Let me know when Mr. Constandinos or associates decide to wisely make a set of the 12 inch greatest hits available for reasonable priced sale.

I finally got hold of this CD. The music is superbly danceable, but I wonder why they did not include the famous "You Must Be Love" in this compilation. Anyway, the quality of the product is wonderful. Thank you Amazon and the Market Place.

of costandinos magnum opuse-"romeo & juliet",1978,but recorded in london sept.'77.alec r. costandinos,genius greek,starting his
