Summary: Hot Stuff Version
Comment: Hey Donna Summer fans, this is the only place that you can find this extended version of Donna Summer Hot Stuff. Its the single version but she ad libs more at the end, its about a minute more and i have never found this version on any Donna Summer compilation. I dont know why this version isnt on any of her cds, but its truly cool with a different ending.

Summary: Chic and Chic-influenced music, plus some other stuff
Comment: Of all of the CD's Rhino issued in "The Disco Years" series, this is the only one that has an underlying theme. The majority of the songs are either by Chic, produced by Chic, or were heavily influenced by Chic. Here is a track by track review:
1. Good Times by Chic: Their last big hit, went all the way to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. A timeless classic.
2. High Society by Norma Jean: Former Chic vocalist. I am not sure why she left the group to go solo, but the question is, why did she bother? She certainly did not achieve any success as a solo artist and the songs were still written and produced by Chic. The song is great, but it is for all intents purposes a Chic song.
3. He's the Greatest Dancer by Sister Sledge: "We are Family" may have been a bigger hit, but to me this Chic-produced recording is the Sledge's best song ever. Another classic from 1979.
4. Spacer by Sheila & B. Devotion: Another song produced by Chic, but totally forgettable. Chic produced other, much better songs than this one that could have been included here.
5. I'm Coming Out by Diana Ross: From the marvelous Chic-produced "Diana" album. This was easily Diana Ross' best album and this track was one of her best songs.
6. I Like Love by Norma Jean: Another Norma Jean solo recording that is undistinguishable from her work with Chic. Another good song, but I think possibly the reason why Chic as a group started to falter after 1979 is that they started to spread themselves too thin. I mean, aside from their own records, they were working with Diana Ross, Sister Sledge, Norma Jean, etc.
7. I Love You More by Rene and Angela: Not produced by Chic, but decidedly influenced by Chic. A good song, even if it does seem like a bit of a rip-off.
8. Keep it Comin' Love by KC and the Sunshine Band: This song was a hit before Chic became popular, so you can't accuse them of stealing that guitar riff from Chic. Hmmm, maybe Chic stole from them? A great song that I remember having on a vinyl 45 back in 1977 when I was 9 years old.
9. Fresh by Kool and the Gang: Why oh why is this god-awful song here?! It was released way after the disco era (1985), it is certainly not a disco song, and it is quite likely Kool & the Gang's 2nd worse song ever behind "Cherish".
10. In the Bush by Musique: A very sexually risque song. Now, there was good sexual-inuendo disco music ("Love to Love You Baby" is the perfect example), but this song is just embarassing and it was music like this that sped up the death of disco.
11. I'm Caught Up (In a One Night Love Affair) by Inner Life: A good, if somewhat forgettable song.
12. A Lover's Holiday by Change: The Chic influences are quite apparent on this disco classic.
Tracks 13, 14 & 15 were released after the official disco era, they are technically not disco songs, they are categorically early 80's dance/techno tunes, they are not particularly good songs, and Rhino should be ashamed of themselves for including them on this CD.
16. Hot Stuff by Donna Summer: Rhino redeems themselves by including one of Donna's best songs. Even though she was dubbed the Queen of Disco, it is because of songs like this that Donna has survived and thrived after disco died.
17. Paradise by Change: Another great song by the dance/studio group Change, and once again heavily influenced by the Chic sound.
18. Lost in Music by Sister Sledge: This Chic production failed to have the same impact as "He's the Greatest Dancer" or "We are Family", but a great song nonetheless.
Buy this CD for the great Chic and Chic influenced music, but skip over the other tracks that are a waste of time.
Customer Rating:
Summary: The best single collection of disco out there.
Comment: There's no other way to put it: this collection is a must for anyone who loves disco. The first six tracks are absolutely essential. French idol Sheila's Chic-produced hit "Spacer" is very hard to find, and is among the greatest of disco songs ever made. It has been sampled in Alcazar's 2001 hit "Crying At the Discotheque." Diana Ross' Chic-produced "I'm Coming Out" is another 1980 song that ranks in top disco essentials. "I Like Love" is classic Chic work--produced for former member Norma Jean. Change tracks are another bonus. Get this CD!

Summary: lost in classics
Comment: i really liked the selections of songs but i was dissapointed with the length of the songs, there all the edited versions, for a compilation like this with hard to find songs they should put the long versions it bought back some good memories but again i felt a little empty with the short versions here.

Summary: Club Classics
Comment: If you want a collection of radio hits, this disc will disappoint you, with a few exceptions. However, if you want a collection of cuts that the DEEJAYS played in the clubs, this is a great series. Yes many of these will be unfamiliar to you unless you were there, but I guarantee you they sound great with your amp cranked to '11' and 50 to 100 people all up on their feet dancing. If you missed that era and want to know what it was like I recommend this CD and some of the others in the series. This may not have been mixed by a deejay, but a deejay definitely provided the list.
