Meco Monardo was the genius behind many early Disco hits such as Gloria Gaynor's Never Can Say Goodbye, but he is best remembered for his space-themed sci-fi Disco productions from the Disco-fied versions of Star Wars to Close Encounters.

While Meco's complete version of Star Wars is included, a very truncated version of Wizard of Oz is included.
