A MOTOWN SPECIAL DISCO ALBUM 2C068-98.729 (-77) FRANCE

  As a Motown freak I'm mostly into the sixties songs, but since I am addicted to the label I also wanna try later stuff to see if there's something there for me. Here's a collection of eight disco hits recorded 1975-77. And though I know the artists all of the songs are new to me. My own best disco memories are all from the sixties and early seventies, when we jived to Sly Stone, Beatles, Stones, Colosseum and Motown stuff in general, so I haven't danced to any of the numbers here and therefore have no emotional connection. But it's easy to fall in love with Diana Ross "Love Hangover" and Thelma Houston "Don't Leave Me This way" - both starting slow and emotional, then progressing to up-tempo and even more emotional. And both Eddie Kendricks "Goin' Up In Smoke" and Tata Vega "Full Speed Ahead" has enough of the classic Motown feeling to get me. Also the audio is very good, so if played loud it would certainly gild any dance party. Even if I have no previous relation to any of the songs they still do me good and I may just get up and start moving my old legs to this record before too long. Also released on vinyl in UK, South Africa and Greece, but to my knowledge never on CD. First French had label as shown here in a thin glossy cover. (TÖMÖ*) (MFÄX*) (FÄV*) (SÄM*)
