We're very excited at The Ghetto Disco HQ to bring you this post on the new Harmless Records "Disco Discharge" releases...
These compilations are an amazing addition to any serious Disco fans existing collection or they are an ideal starting point for those who have just discovered the wonderful, metronomic world of Disco music.
You just have to look at the tracklistings for all 4 volumes & it becomes apparent that a lot of the compilers (Brightonian disco devotee MrPinks & Alan Jones the co - author of the best selling book 'Saturday Night Forever: The Story Of Disco') time, effort, knowledge & passion has gone into this project :

WOW. I think it's safe to say that every possible Disco base is touched on on these comps, and there is some amazing music contained on these discs!!
According to the press release - "The whole spectrum of disco is covered here- from classic, soulful philly sounds and diva vocals to italo, space, cosmic and amyl nitrate-laced disco"
Another wonderful facet of this release is the fact that all tracks contained are the original 12" mixes & alot of them have been reproduced from the original master tapes & put onto CD for the first time ever for this release!! It really dosen't get any better than that!!
Or does it?
How about an exclusive sneak peek in the form of a mini-mix by none other than Horse Meat Disco's Luke Howard? (One of our fave DJ's..)
That's right, the lovely folks at Harmless have given us this "Space Disco" mix for you all to enjoy, the tracklist is as follows :
Space Disco (30.06)
1. Extraterrestrial Love - Sylvia Love
2. Magic Fly - Space
3. From Here To Eternity - Giorgio Moroder
4. Colour My Love - Fun Fun
5. The Number One Song In Heaven - Sparks
Space Disco Mix - Luke Howard. by Bobbyhands
Oh, and the albums were released on the 28th September ... What are you waiting for??
