Product Description
CD Description
Stradling 3 decades of Dance and Club culture, CD1 focuses on the explosion of the iconic 12" single mix onto the embryonic club-scene of New York and Chicago in the 70's and its eventual take over of the world's dance-floors with timeless, powerhouse disco anthems from Chic `'Good Times', Sugarhill Gang `Rappers Delight', Sister Sledge `He's The Greatest Dancer', The Trammps `Disco Inferno', and tipping us into the next great dance movement with Blondie `Rapture' and Donna Summer `I Feel Love'.
CD 2 leads us into the 80's, evoking neon blooded rebellion and the rise of Pop, Rap and Techno/House featuring classic mixes of Miami Sound Machine `Dr Beat', Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five `White Lines', S' Express `The Theme...', Inner City `Big Fun', Womack and Womack `Teardrops', Marshall Jefferson `Move Your Body', Farley Jackmaster Funk `Love Can't Tunr Around' and of course the biggest selling 12" single of all time New Order's seminal `Blue Monday'.
Pushing on into the hedonistic electro-dance fuelled 90s with a momentum that will leave you breathless for the next installation, CD3 features club classics from Adamski `Killer', Beats International `Dub Be Good To Me', Deelite `Groove Is In The Heart', C&C Music Factory `Everybody Dance Now', Crystal Waters `Gypsy Woman', Utah Saints `Something Good', Happy Mondays `Step On', `Jamiroquai `Space Cowboy', and that all time favourite No 1, Everything But The Girl `Missing'.
With the ultimate 24 carat track-list, crossing a plethora of genres from disco, soul, new wave, pop, rap, house, techno and beyond, stretching across 3 decades and numerous generations of youth & club cultures, and taking in 6 No 1s, 12" DANCE cannot fail to pull the heartstrings and evoke dance-floor moments for people of every age in every community, and looks set to become a huge force in the compilations market.

With a disc for each of the 70s, 80s and 90s, this is a fine collection of Disco and Dance classics, each in its original extended form. So faithful are the transfers to CD that you can even hear the vinyl crackle as the needle beds-in for Chaka Khan's belter 'I'm Every Woman', while The Sugarhill Gang's seminal 'Rappers delight' took me straight back to the birth of commercial rap music. Donna Summer's disco leviathan 'I Feel Love' provides several minutes of unadulterated pleasure, and Chic's 'Good Times' is a reminder of why the producers were the kings of late 70s/early 80s dance music.
80s highlights include 'Blue Monday', and 'Love Can't Turn Around' by Farley Jackmaster Funk, while the 1990s are represented by such luminaries as Adamski, Dee-Lite and DNA featuring Suzanne Vega.
Overall this is majestic selection of danceable chart hits from the halcyon decades of dance music, and with a track listing that eschews some over-familiar tracks for lesser known gems, this is a thoroughly essential purchase for all lovers of great pop music.

In one form or other (mainly ol' vinyl 12-inchers), I have bought 20 of the tracks spread on these 3 CDs. And I've heard/taped/danced to pretty much all the rest (even Sheila. But, in France, it is deemed to be, at best, a "guilty pleasure"). It is indeed a valuable comp of historic dance tracks for a neat price. First instance of seeing 'Good Times' and 'Rapper's Delight' back-to-back on an album. Teen and 20-something crate-diggers should buy it!
