NOTES:

The title to this Van McCoy album says it all "From Disco To Love". The love songs are on side A and the disco songs are on side B. Anyhow this album is a great mix of early disco music for dancing and love songs for romancing.

The winning track on this album would have to be "Soul Improvisations." It is a fantastic early disco song and "Don't Hang Me Up" comes a close second spot. This album was initally released on Buddah in 1972 under I guess the catalog number BDS 5103 which was mentioned on the back of the cover. My copy I assume is a re-release.
