Yes, Travolta, Ricky Dee's, Baccara et al.........Can all be rated with a formula. I used it for my dissitation and got a straight A.

Start with...........
" 'Disco' Music recordings can be best considered in graphical form with a vertical and horizontal axis.
The horizontal axis 'X' rates the 'Disconess' of the record in question, and the Vertical axis 'Y' rates the 'sales potential' of the record.
By plotting the 'Disconess' and the 'sales potential' in this way you can then multiply the X axis with the Y axis and by 'doing the math' you will arrive at the integer that rates that particular 'Disco' record.

Pat,
It helps if instead of the X and y axis a reference to the subject matter in question is utilised.
I would suggest as a title for the X axis - Discodisway
and for the Y axis - Discodatway

What do you think ?
Now you see that sort of thinking could have gotten you a A+

Gents,
I have been working on a Disco report for my collegiate in Iceland for two weeks, and I am really keen to use your methods.

however, I am a little lost as to how to obtain the Sales Potential figures for the Disco records.

As I was not born at the time I am puzzled as to how to rate a record's Sales potential ?
Here in Iceland we did not have Top40 Disco charts for half of the year because of the sun-less six months.
(The market research bureau was using solar powered Computers back then)

Can any of you guys who were around 'Back in the Day' help out please ?

How did you rate the sales potential of a record ?
Perhaps SFBeary, MarkyDefad, Discomix, Paul, etc.. can help me out, or even Bernie himself ?
Also Quinny - can you give us a few pointers as to how the Brits rated their Disco songs in terms of sales potential ?
I understand from an english penpal I had that the British only played Disco for school children and at weddings and that most of the gay patrons were at sea ?

I would appreciate some help here.........
Thanks
