    Does Anyone Remember These--Disco Cassettes-?

    In 1979, RCA launched the industry's first lines of Disco Cassettes. At $3.98, the cassettes offered the same wholesale breakdown as the 12 inch disco single. The first disco cassette releases included current product and past hits from Vicki Sue Robinson, Evelyn "Champaigne" King, Dolly Parton, Shalamar, Grey & Hanks, Odyssey, The Brothers, Gichy Dan, Buffalo Smoke, Bumble Bee Unlimited, Machine, Lakeside and Carrie Lucas. The cassettes apparently were different mixes than the 12 inch per the article from 1979. Does anyone have any of these? Extra notes from 1979...Billboard's Disco V awards banquet held February 28, 1979 had multiple winners. They were: Donna Summer, Sylvester, Alex Costandinos, DJ Jim Burgess and sound specialist Richard Long. Casablanca was top label. Village People won group of the year for the second straight time. Cerrone was top instrumentalist. Gloria Gaynor won special humanitarian award. Dan Hartman most promising new artist.
