Disco music of the 1970s-1980s for DJs & record collectors
Discussion on Let's Start The Dance....Question within the Disco Music of the 70s and 80s forums, part of the General Music Discussions at DiscoMusic.com category; I supposedly have the 12" of this track on 2 CD compilations, supposedly being the operative word. In both cases ...

| So, my question is this. Why has this track been mistakenly released at least twice (Ladyboy are you reading this?) and does anyone know of a compilation on which the actual track included is the correct 1978 version with the superb wailing of Caroline Crawford? |

| The original appears on this CD... http://www.discomusic.com/cds-more/1054_0_3_0_C/ and http://www.discomusic.com/cds-more/1099_0_3_0_C/ Just played them all including the CDs that have it listed incorrectly..

| Hey Bernie. On that Let's Start The Dance cd, is Sugar Pie Guy the original version with parts 1 & 2 combined or is it the later released version with some of the grit and funk lessened?

| The original (although I assume it is the 7") is on the Studio 54 soundtrack. Don't ask me which volume because I bought it as a 2CD set. toto |

| I have this song (the 1978 version) on THREE different UK issued compilations, as follows: Magnum Opus, Vol 1. - Length 7:32 http://www.discomusic.com/cds-more/1062_0_3_0_C/ Absolutely The Very Best Of Disco - Length 8:03 http://www.discomusic.com/cds-more/911_0_3_0_M56/ I also have it on a UK compilation called "Let's start the dance", which has a different cover and tracks to Bernie's one (with the exception of "Let's start the dance" and Parliament's "Flashlight"). The length this time is 7:35. Magnum Opus should still be very easy to find, probably in your local HMV :P Darren

| Darren, Unfortunately the version on Magnum Opus, which is a great CD, is not the original, but Let's Start the Dance II-a later rework with added rap-like vocals. That's what Quinny was talking about as it is mislabeled on the CD and misleads people into thinking it is the original. The original 12" only clocked in at under 6 minutes... http://www.discomusic.com/records-more/3698_0_2_0_C/ and the original LP... http://www.discomusic.com/records-more/2507_0_2_0_C/ I just played the version on "Absolutely..." and it appears to be a later extension/remix of the original 6 minute version.

I didn't remember any rap vocals in it, I'll have to have another listen. Although I must confess to not liking this track much, I usually skip it!
