Longest disco song ever recorded?

[DiscoMan]

I like Romeo & Juliet and Accidental Lover by Costandinos :D

[totoman]

Beautiful Bend had two songs on each side but side 2 is a "continuation of side 1". They were obviously recorded with one rhythm track iin mind. Does that count?

I think The side B of The Boris Midney's Festival - Evita is longer than Judas Iscariot .

It seems to long 19'23 .

The side A is a little bit shorter and stops at 17'18.

[BrunoRepublic]

Yes, but it's several songs that are segued together. Judas Iscariot is one single piece. If you're counting continuous music as opposed to songs, I can think of several that are longer than that.

In doing some cataloguing and reviewing of my 12" collection I came across Kraftwerk's Autobahn 1974 which clocks in at a lengthy 22:30 but I'd agree with our friend Graham and suggest that this particular cut wouldn't qualify as a typical disco song at least not from a dance point of view

[SyntaxFeline]

Here are a couple I came up with after a look in my mp3 collection...

Seventh Avenue- Miami Heatwave Suite at 19:24
Macho- I'm A Man (17:38 )
Fever- Beat Of The Night (16:16 )
D.D. Sound- Cafe (15:58 )
Tantra- Hills of Katmandu (16:20)
Noel- Dancing Is Dangerous (16:38 )
Crystal Grass feat. Kristi B- The Love Train (15:25 )
M.B.T. Soul- Chase (15:10 )
Trax- Watch Out For The Boogie Man (14:12 )
Jumbo- Turn On To Love (17:16 )
Paris Connection (Costandinos)- You've Lost That Loving Feeling (18:04 )

Got a couple others, but these are the highlights... from the Ultra-Freaking-Long part of my collection

Hey SyntaxFeline,

WELCOME TO THE BOARD

Thought I said this yesterday but seems I didn't. Good to have you and keep on posting!

Hi Nicky, thanks for the welcome.

I'm here mostly as a student... trying to learn all there is- the rich and colourful history, and the music, of course...

Fortunately, it seems I got in at the right time, as the price of disco records seems to be absolutely skyrocketing... and most of this stuff will never see CD on a commercial release. Like it or not, we must preserve as much as we can... moving it to a digital medium of some sort, as vinyl simply won't last forever... sad fact I've accepted over the years. Not to mention, all the vinyl disco records are being hogged up by house producers to rip-off... ah well.

19 years old, intelligent and pleasant. I'm sure it's going to be a pleasure having you with us. You do your dad proud. :D

Two more:

CHOCOLATES - the kings of clubs 14:26
(a Tom Moulton mix)

MECO - Time Machine (which actually is the entire
Encounters of every Kind album), sorta concept disco,
virtually one song clocking in at a whopping 32:08.

A surprisingly great album btw., haven´t heard it before
despite its birth date of 1979.
