"Direct From Studio 54" album

[usagi-san]

I recently found an Italian import album "Direct From Studio 54". Each side tracks through and contains mixes I have not heard before. It includes
24 Hours A Day-L.J. Johnson
Dancin' At The Disco-L.A.X.
Paradise Island-The Wonderland Band
Love Exciter-El Coco
Sexy Thing-Bob McGilpin
(Gonna Get ALong) Without You Now-Viola Wills
(What Are You Doung) In Casablanca-Roots
You Must Be Love-Love & Kisses
I wonder how many of the El Coco and Love & Kisses fans here have heard these versions of their songs.

So this is a CD we can order or...???
Sounds good though.

I've never seen it on CD. I got it at The Record Man in Redwood City, CA. It's from 1979, on the Derby label.

This is an italian only pressing, released on the Derby label. This label released italian pressing of US classics and even original production, the most famous being the rare "Miss Manhattan".
The tracks in this album are often edited for mixing purposes. I cannot check now, but I think that Enzo Persuader did the edits and the blendings
