Obscure Grooves #17: Disco Explosion!

I love disco, but even I have a threshold of how much I can take in one sitting.  Don't get me wrong, I could listen to ABBA and The Bee-Gees all day and not get tired of it.  However, the vast majority of disco was highly unoriginal and all the songs seem to just blend together after a while.  I suppose "you had to be there".  I can see how this might be fine at an actual discotheque (more than likely hopped up on cocaine); but it sure gets monotonous just listening to.

That's why I decided to throw together pieces of a bunch of disco songs into one track. Rather than have you suffer through listen to songs in their entirety (it was not uncommon for disco songs to be over ten minutes long), I've melded them all together into one heavenly hash of 70s disco dynamite.

Given that this is an Obscure Grooves post, you won't see any Saturday Night Fever hits here - only the lesser known disco gems.  In this 15+ minute track you'll hear all of the following...

Bill Summers & Summers Heat - "Straight to the Bank"
Bob-A-Rela - "Spend the Night"
Dynasty - "I Don't Wanna Be a Freak"
Gary's Gang - "Do It at the Disco"
Hydro & Loma - "K.I.C. (Keep It Coming)"
Direct Current - "Boogie Man"
Richard T. Bear - "Sunshine Hotel"
Joe Capaldi - "Shoe Shine"
Space - "Save Your Love for Me"
Sesame Disco - "Me Lost Me Cookie at the Disco"
Pamala Stanley - "This Is Hot"
Ronnie Milsap - "Get It Up"
Linda Clifford - "Repossessed"
D.C. LaRue - "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark"
Pat Hodges - "Fly By Night"
