Second best disco collection around
Review written by John Fitzgerald, May 23rd, 2005 Granted, this album has it's embarrassments such as Hounds pathetic cover of the Rolling Stones' "Under my thumb" and some forgettable fluff like John Sebastian's "Roller girl" and Marilyn Mccoo & Billy Davis Jr.'s "Perfect dancer". Nevertheless, this soundtrack is the best runner up to the "Saturday night fever" soundtrack album for well documenting a time, an era and a musical genere in a nutshell as it contains some of the most known disco outcasts not used in the Travolta film such as Earth Wind & Fire's "Boogie wonderland", The Jacksons' "Shake your body (down to the ground)", Heatwave's "Boogie nights" & Patrick Hernandez' "Born to be alive". The Dave Mason tracks are a mixed bag but surprising in that a soundtrack from this period would include recordings from an artist unavailable elsewhere as that marketing trick had not be fully realized until the plethora of endless 80's movie soundtracks had surfaced. "Skatetown U.S.A (main theme)" is the most discoified tune of the three with it's forced lyrics and backing vocals, electric drums and (supposedly) a brisk string arrangement, I'm sure Dave would rather forget about this one. However, there is a better than usual version of his classic "Feelin' alright" with exciting guitar fills more plentiful than on other "live" renditions, this is a definite step forward. Although "I fell in love" is probably out of place musically on this album, it is obviously the number in which Mason is allowed to be close to what he wants to do musically (though the swelling strings do tend to overpower at the end which one can imagine was an "executive decision" to attempt to "make it fit more" as Dave's ballads don't usually "climb" that much in that area). Otherwise a pleasing tune that would've certainly been a highlight of say, "Mariposa de oro" or "Old crest on a new wave" had it been included on one of those albums instead. Overall, you will get a corny feeling but the musical choices are surprisingly, unlikely to disappoint.
Fantastic...takes you back to the 70's!
Review written by Rikki, May 23rd, 2005
I have this album (yes, the 33 1/3 rpm), no joke. I saw the movie too and I would love to find it on Video or a re-mastered DVD...but I know it isn't possible to get either of these. I do have the album to remember this movie by and I would highly recommend it...(if it were still available). Every song on it is good and there weren't many albums from the time that every song on the vinyl was good. It seems that this hit was shoved under the rug somewhere in time...I would love to see it revived.
