Any worries I had about Disco Discharge not maintaining the quality of their first four releases have disappeared after having this on repeat this weekend. Contrary to what other disco comps would have you believe we did not spend ten years dancing to the same 40 tracks just changing the sequence occasionally. Having been around at the time this comp pulls together some of the less well known tracks hence the Diggin' Deeper title and that's the beauty of it. There are some massive Saint classics like USA European Connection and Poussez and 'Quiet Village' from the Troc. I haven't heard Do Your Best in years...I didn't actually know sang it so this was a fantastic surprise. Can't believe I've had Getting Serious on the b-side to Strut Your Funky Stuff all these years and never played it.
A lot of love and care has obviously gone into these comps...bring on the next three volumes!

Disco Discharge is back. Yay! I loved the first four albums and was so pleased when Harmless announced four more. Diggin' Deeper is the first in the new set and more than manages to keep up the quality of the previous albums, mixing real rarities with some more mainstream hits. CD 1 starts with the super funky "Party Song" by Stikcy Fingers...what an opener! Other highlights of CD 1 include "Soul Searchin' Time" by The Trammps, "Quiet Village" by The Ritchie Family and my favourite "Do Your Best" by Carol Hahn. Rounding of CD 1 is the awesome electro ish "Voice Of Q" by Q. Not heard that in years. CD 2 starts with the classy "I'm In Heaven" by Touch Of Class which again is new to me. Other stand outs on disc 2 include "Getting Serious" by Frantique (the B side to their hit "Strut Your Funky Stuff), "Sing Sing Sing" by The Charlie Calello Orchestra and the full version of Dan Hartman's "Countdown/This Is It" but my choice cut would have to be "Savage Lover" by The Ring. That brings back some memories.
As with the previous four albums the sound quality is amazing and the sleeve notes informative and fun. A new addition this time is a page of the booklet dedicated to original sleeve images which is a nice touch.
Thanks Harmless...can't wait for the rest to be released.

I'm old enough to remember the disco era, but too young to have been into it in any detail. Consequently all these cuts are new to me. But what a delight! Like the earlier volumes in the series this is excellent stuff: opulent groovy glitterball splendour on track after track. Despite the attractive price-point, this isn't at all 'cheapo', we're talking the highest quality. Highly recommended - I guarantee you will froog, shimmy and smile. Party on!

Pure disco magic
I bought this album solely on the basis I wanted Dan Hartman's 14 minute epic Countdown/This is it. Six quid seemed a bit steep for one track. Read more
