Marlin Record's double album, "Disco Party" was a concept by the late Ray Caviano to allow listeners to experience a DJ set right in their living rooms. It was mixed / blended / sequenced by Disco DJ Tom Savarese and is a nice collection of TK / Marlin Disco tracks compiled in a unique fashion. Well worth seeking out for its historical value and a much better compilation than the horrible "A Night At Studio 54" put out by Casablanca.
"Disco Party" is great for a Disco party, as it has been reissued on CD.

Billy,
Ray died many years ago.
I think the early 80's. I remember running into his boyfriend at the clubs back then....can't remember his name.
