Although this is a good collection of tracks, up to 2 minutes has been chopped off each of the first 3 tracks. So if you are looking for the full length versions, you will want to buy the individual cds that the songs came from.

A great dance album form the 70's. I had the LP and lent it to a friend and never saw it again. I've been looking for it for almost 20 years.

nice songs but hot productions didn't tell me this was a CDR !!! I hate been fooled

This album is a disco classic from 1978 when Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood spent weeks in the top 10 all over Europe and House Of The Rising Sun was another huge hit. This was considered underground disco, a far heavier sound and mood than stuff like Chic or The Village People. Besides the aforementioned tracks, this version of Street Fighting Man, Sevilla Nights and Eternal Light also stand out as memorable highlights of an era. Strangely enough, it has aged rather well for disco music, perhaps because its almost heavy metal edge was mirrored in the 1990s by a blend of dance beats and heavy instrumentation that approached the same territory, by industrial artists like Ministry, Nine Inch Nails and Revolting Cocks. Disco came in a multitude of styles and Santa Esmeralda's unique guitar-driven style sounds great today.

I had the album for years and stumbled onto the CD a few years back. My heart was broken when both were stolen during a recent move. I've been looking for over a year until a friend turned me onto "Amazon" just a few minutes ago. I logged on and lo and behold, I'll have my CD replaced soon! As a matter of fact I"m buying two since I have several friends who have expressed an interest in it!!

I searched for a song on this CD for years but my story is different in that I had no idea which artist I was looking for. I missed out on the club scene during the disco revolution so I knew the mainstream artists but nothing else. About 10 years ago, I got into my car and a radio station was playing this version of House of the Rising Sun but they didn't announce who the artist at then end. I didn't get to hear the complete song but what little I did hear sent me on a quest to find the CD. The internet was still in its infancy and over the years I ordered many covers of House, none of them the correct version, but I never gave up looking for it. Then, one day the version I was looking for arrived and I was thrilled to find the whole CD was very enjoyable.

What a gem. I remember "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" from 1979! I tried to get this CD years ago (before the computer craze) and it was out of print. My husband and I have just taken some Latin Dance lessons and this CD is jam packed with upbeat dance music, "Another Cha Cha" is a classic. I had forgotten all about "You're My Everything" - talk about a blast from the past. You won't be disappointed.

This was a great love song! 22 years later and we're still married. Love those 70's love songs.
