You can basically call this LP the offical soundtrack LP to the classic adult flick "A Girl's Best Friend" (as just about every main tune and piece of music in that porn is right here!). Also, this is where the infamous "Do The Boogaloo" track everyone seems to be after is from (most heard it from an old "Taxi" television episode, while I heard it from the porn flick for the 1st time lol). This was one of those music library distributed LPs for film and TV use.
But what makes this one different from the others is that this LP is PACKED with REAL disco cuts and not that cheese TV background music (as those familiar with "Boogaloo" should be able to figure out). For all you DJ's/Remixers out there, this is basicly a "make your own" mix kit complete with vocal and instrumental mixes of all the tunes (simply re-edit around and make a 6 min offical 12" out of each tune. I have, its definitely needed to really enjoy this stuff as full length disco cuts!).
Now for the music itself, all except "Here Comes De Drum" are hard hitting and lost could have been disco classics. From the pure sexual morning sleaze of "I Like What You Got" to the fast romantic eurodisco sound of "Never Say Forever..." its all here. If you can ever find a copy of this for under 50 bucks, by all means dont pass it up! (espessaly U.S. folks!) This doesn't come around everyday.

Excellent album indeed, and certainly more than just another attempt at cheezy would-be disco bandwagon-jumping. I'd heard "Do the Boogaloo" on that Taxi episode called "Elaine's strange triangle", and nearly went crazy trying to ID it. Being a member of DM at the time, I even started a thread hear to ID it.
The only frustrating thing about this LP is the fact that most tracks are split in vocal and intrumental tracks, while a longer, mixed version of those tracks would have been more satisfying.
