Disco takes over the Shazam office stereo
As you would imagine, quite a bit of music arrives on our doorstep each week here at Shazam Towers. However this week we have been totally enraptured by Harmless Records’ new ‘Disco Discharge’ compilations, which have dominated the Shazam office stereo to an extent where certain members of the team have been pushing to get a glitter ball installed in the office.
Delivered in four editions, the new series is divided into ‘Classic Disco’, ‘Disco Ladies’, ‘Euro Disco’ and ‘Gay Disco & Hi NRG’. All feature the full 12″ or long album versions for DJs and disco fanatics alike who would normally scour eBay for hours and pay fortunes for the original vinyl pressings. Among classics by Cheryl Lynn, Cerrone, Sheila B Devotion and A Taste of Honey, Disco Discharge has unearthed a ton of rare and unreleased gems from the likes of Gloria Jones’ (of ‘Tainted Love’ fame), Free Enterprise and Boy Town Gang’s uncut full length version of ‘Cruisin’ The Streets’ that features some very un office-friendly moans of ecstasy.
The albums are released on 28th September.
