Description:
Despite its mirror-ball packaging, The Disco Box presents the music as it was heard on AM radio, not in clubs. The 80 tunes are well-chosen, but almost all are heard in their single-edit version rather than in the often cathartic extended tracks that were one of the form's trademarks.

500 CDs You Must Own Before You Die! (500 music items)"The metronome for this four-CD treasure trove is stuck on “whiplash.” But the music from this flamboyant, feverish era is innocent, electrifying, propulsive and aerobic, and it remains surprisingly vital. Standout track: Lipps Inc., “Funkytown”"
