I picked this up yesterday from the bins of a record store in North Beach, not the place with the basement but the other one further up the street. I hadn't heard of it, it was without doubt euro disco, but I chanced it on the basis of the cover alone. When I got home I found that side A had a sped up medley of disco hits from that around that year, 1979, a little harsh, but on the flip there was a good cosmic instrumental. What a nice surprise.
Turns out I'm a little late to the party on this one, Discothèque's 'Disco Special' was re-issued as part of Morgan Geist's revival triggering Un Classics series in 2005, but it must have slipped by me at the time.
Discothèque - Disco Special
Geist's version is cut in half into the mix, so i like your's much better.

Great track with a little bit of 'Night fever' in it. To be honest, I like the a-side ('Intro disco') as well. It reached #15 on the Dutch pop charts in 1979.
ReplyDeleteThere's also a nice Funk Ferret edit of this track. Check it out here: https://soundcloud.com/funkferret/disco-special-funk-ferret-edit
