NOTES ON THIS VINYL RECORD:

The cover boasts "Disco Mix / Disco Fun" and "38 Minutes and 47 seconds of continuous play". How exciting it must have been to bring home the disco mix sound of a club. Although no one is credited as the DJ, the "album coordinators" are listed as noted above. To my knowledge at least, this is one of the earliest mix albums around. The album cover is simply an expanded graphic of the iconic Casablanca logo.

Side 1 is a medly of classic early Moroder type disco. The second side is more of a funk sound, culminating with Parliament, arguably the kings of funk.

My favorite is the bizarre and naively double-entendre laden "The Fruit Song" with such memorable lyrics as "If you'd known I like bananas you would have brought a great big bunch for me" and "If I'd know you liked cherries I'd have brought a great big box for you". Hmm.
