Disco Circus is one of my favorite disco tracks ever! You have not heard ITE MISSA EST until you've heard the awesome fidelity of this cut on an entire record side!
This double pack for disco DJs only features a special edit of Disco Circus - however the original version is where it's at. This special pack was shipped with a letter and a feedback form from the offices at Prelude records. The letter is dated "Friday the 13th, 1979!" The letter announced a 'teaser' for upcoming Prelude releases by Theo Vaness Back to Music and L.A.X..
This is one of my BEST finds at a local thrift store in Mint condition for fifty cents. Oh, don't hate me (heh,heh,heh). :)

Feb 20, 2006 | 12:31 pm"Disco Circus" is a timeless 16-minute chant, that will never fail to shake rumps.
I never quite got "Ite Missa Est," nor the other cut or two on this album, but Bernie's right, you should get it. The primal rumble, grunts and groans of "Disco Circus" on the Prelude vinyl 12-inch at full blast might alone hush the argument of any disco critic.
This record conveys what it means to be the animal that is also human...


What a great bargain you got there !!!
Disco Circus is timeless indeed.I was always such a fan of the label...
