Pure Disco [Polygram]

Performer: Various Artists
Distributor: Universal Distribution

Notes: Photographer: Pete Ashworth. Pure Disco contains 12" mixes and remixes of classic dance and disco songs from the late '70s, including "I Love the Nightlife," "I Will Survive," "Celebration," "That's the Way (I Like It)," "Funkytown," "YMCA," and "Dancing Queen." Though there are a few original versions of these singles on the disc, most of it is comprised of remixes, which are simply adequate, with the noticeable exception of "The Grease Megamix." Combining the most familiar segments of the biggest hits from the Grease movie soundtrack, the song is a unabashedly kitschy delight, the kind you feel guilty for liking and the kind that makes the album worth buying. ~ Leo Stanley Put on your polyester leisure suit and wrap your gold chains around your neck, cause tonight we're gonna party like it's 1977 with PURE DISCO. Whether you experienced the Travolta period first hand or you're dipping into this treasure trove of dance classics for the first time, there's plenty to catch your attention on this collection of '70s disco hits. It will forever remain a mystery how the Village People managed to get a song as overtly homosexual in subject matter as "YMCA" across to mainstream America, but history will thank them for it. Posterity should be similarly beneficent to ABBA for the glorious pop/dance fusion that is "Dancing Queen." Donna Summer emphasizes the hedonistic aspects of the disco lifestyle with the lascivious "Hot Stuff." The Right Reverend of Love, Mr. Barry White steps up to the plate to deliver the seminal love-man anthem "You're The First, You're The Last, My Everything."
