5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this now., 28 Jan 2000
This early disco stuff is what music is all about. The strong drum theme makes it's funky, but as with the early disco stuf, the soul factor is high. As if a Loft collection wouldn't be just super anyway, Mancuso has made supreme groove-ability the prerequisite for inclusion. This is serious stuff and, given a chance, will impress the hell out of your listeners. To reiterate, buy it.

Anoraks out there may want to take the time to find out more about David Mancuso. This guy's take on life, music, happiness and their inter-relatedness is nothing short of inspirational. It'll make you want to quit your job and do something you actually enjoy. For the less spontaneous, buying the CD and pretending your a DJ in 1970's New York will have to suffice.

Hope y'all enjoy it...

4.0 out of 5 stars An absolute must-buy!, 12 Sep 2001
By A Customer
I've been clubbing and collecting dance music for 20 years now so, when a compilation is packed with classic tracks, I usually have them already. But this contained a few really thrilling suprises. What a fabulous album! The second CD is more ethereal house and gentle stuff - less interesting really - but the first CD is a load of 20 year old NY dance records, those ones on the cusp between all-out 70s funk and house music - and is absolutely mindblowing. A string of blinding cuts kicks off with track three, Patti Labelle's "The Spirits In It", which is outrageously wild, and rushes you all the way through to Ednah Holt's closing "Serious, Sirius Space Party", which ranks up there with the best space funk records I've ever heard (and I've got a few!). The tracks aren't mixed, but the gaps between them are almost non-existent, which is perfect. The best money I've spent in ages! I'd recommend this unreservedly to anyone into dance music.

4.0 out of 5 stars Disco Eye Opener, 13 Jan 2008
If, like me, you had cast a dubious eye on the whole disco craze of the late 70s early 80s, this record will set the - well, record, straight. This album will show you the sheer variety and musical openess of one of the most intersting dance music periods. David Mancuso was the initial DJ really and proves here in his choice of tunes what real underground disco was all about. Absolute stand-out tunes are Patti Labelle's, Manu Dibango's, Risco Connection's and Loose Joint's. All absolute gems.

This record made me want to know more about this period and I can honestly say that blase little me (re)discovered bands and tunes I would never have without this initial cd.
