Disco (Mirror) 8

This might be the last one in this series. I know there are several disco songs that I haven't picked yet that would fit, but I am kind of not thinking of them at the moment as great choices to play (and that I have played or danced to). So unless I get some crazy bug to do more (like you give me a reminder of a disco tune that I just have to put on another one of these. This will be the last, at least for now. Yesterday I added Mirror Ball and it had a link to previous versions of this. I probably shouldn't have put the Michael Jackson on this one, but I did. I already felt a bit weird adding the Pointer Sisters and ABBA, but it's worth it to get Cerrone and Idris Muhammad and some of the other lesser known disco club hits that I did include. Hope you like them.

Disco (Mirror) 7

I put this on the side for awhile, not because I didn't have enough songs (I have plenty to Pick from), but because I couldn't decide what to put on. I almost put on a special mix from the Bee Gees, but remembered that I said no Bee Gees on this series. A few big names on here. A couple of nice long mixes. Go back to Disco (Mirror) 6 to see some of the others I have on these comps. I especially like the Sky stuff, which should remind you of Earth, Wind & Fire since its related to Don Myrick. And several tracks that you probably don't know unless you were in Discos back in the day.

Disco (Mirror) 6

This is the last of my Disco (Mirror) leopard picks. Well at least the last for now as I am working on volume 7 and 8. But who knows how long that will percolate? It will make this collection reach 77 songs in total by the end of this volume. Only nine tracks on this pick, because the playlist has some good long versions. MFSB, Donna Summer, Love and Kisses all with some great songs. Bohannon is on here to end the series with Dancing Your Ass Off. Not his biggest hit, but again this pick isn't about hits, it's my pick of songs I danced to in discotheques (or that I played during the era.) Leave a comment about the ones you like, dislike and the ones I should have played back then.

Disco (Mirror) 5

The Disco (Mirror) series continues with volume 5. This pick, as you know,  if you've been following, is a playlist of disco songs that I either danced to or played during the disco era. Some well known and a few that weren't as popular. This volume has one of the worst disco songs of all time: Disco Duck. But you know how I feel about worst songs lists. They sometimes are exactly the same as the best songs list. Or at least there is some overlap. But it's hard to imagine another pick that is hated as much as Rick Dee's Disco Duck. And yet it's highly danceable. Think of it as the chicken dance for disco. This volume also has two Tex's. Different people. Joe Tex who was a contemporary for James Brown and the other was Disco Tex and the Sex-O-Lettes. Disco Tex was a group and Joe considered himself to be better than James Brown, even claiming that Brown stole his dance moves. He has other great hits that may point in that direction back in the 60's. Disco Tex had two hits, one that's on here.

Disco (Mirror) 4

This pick includes more of the disco picks i played or danced to. A few of these are more midtempo today. The brilliant Yvonne Elliman, Tavares, Donna Summer etc. all have different beats to them. All still good disco. This playlist also has another Salsoul Orchestra. What? More? Yep. They had some great disco and not a lot of name recognition for their songs. But you know them when they start playing. Numbering and cover are progressing. I can't believe that we are two thirds of the way in to this collection.

Disco (Mirror) 3

Continuing the Disco (Mirror) series with volume 3, this pick highlights some of the differences between this compilation and other Disco Hits type comps. Still several hits and then several songs that never were hits, but that I personally played or danced to. And I still would. Notice the second (and third) Salsoul Orchestra in the playlist series. Munich Machine which was also on a previous volume of these Disco playlists, although another song. Giorgio Moroder and even Boney M. We didn't have Shazam back then so it took awhile to track down the Saturday Night Band, because who the hell are they? Numbering continues and the cover changes slightly. Click on it.

Disco (Mirror) 2

Part two of the Disco (Mirror) series. Hard to imagine that you don't know all of these songs if you were in a disco anytime in the 70's. But a couple of club only smashes in this playlist pick. You probably never Heard Veronica Unlimited on the radio, and unless you were in Germany, you probably didn't recognize Supermax. Although listening to it, you will know the tunes. All songs I danced to and played.

Disco (Mirror) 1

This is kind of a continuation of the Disco (Leopard) series, but also a beginning of the Mirror series, really the mirror ball series. The cover has a mirror ball with the leopard background, none of which is important to you. This pick series is all the disco songs I liked to play or dance to. Probably hits. Most likely played in discotheques back in the day. There should be no duplicates from the Definitive Disco playlist. And there should be no Bee Gees on this series. Because if you are playing disco and you do not have the best of the Bee Gees with you then what are you doing? Anyway the Definitive Disco pick has the Bee Gee's, the biggest hit from the Village People etc. And I tried to make these all work in tandem.
