VARIOUS - Disco Discharge: Disco Fever USA - 2LP - White Vinyl [APR 19]

2LP - Limited Edition 140g White Vinyl (12 tracks). 

Welcome back to Demon’s ‘Disco Discharge’ series, originally issued in a series of 2CD collections between 2009 and 2012. The themed compilations of full-length, extended Disco originals, lovingly curated by the mysterious “MrPinks” and with detailed sleeve notes by author and Disco aficionado Alan Jones, have remained in-demand among collectors and the club cognoscenti. This time around, the series kicks off with ‘Classic Disco’ and ‘Disco Fever USA’, both issued in new-formatted Deluxe 2CD gatefold packaging.

While Disco happened the whole world over, ‘Disco Fever USA’ cherry-picks 12 milestones hailing from its American birthplace on 140g White vinyl. Alongside lesser-known cuts from the likes of Fern Kinney, Gloria Gaynor and Boys Town Gang there’s also another wealth of treasures including a rare instrumental version of Earth, Wind & Fire’s ‘Boogie Wonderland’, the sublime ‘Like An Eagle’ by sometime gay porn actor Dennis Parker and Bionic Boogie’s ‘Risky Changes’, a track you could say predicted Chicago House sound a full ten years before the fact.
