DISCO NIGHTS [1979]

After a string of half a dozen albums with disco in the title, K-Tel issued their final disco album, Disco Nights, in 1979.  It is another one of their attempts at recreating the club experience by mixing the songs into one another to create a flow of Non-Stop Original Disco Hits but mostly it fails because of song choice.  HERC is forecasting a sub-20 score on the K-tel Scale despite #1 hits from A Taste Of Honey, Andy Gibb, Foxy, Rick James and Sylvester.  He recalls hearing less than half the album's fourteen songs on then disco-happy WLS and isn't too sure he'll be able to find more than those same songs on Spotify.  Let's have some sweet record playing videos before getting to the K-Tel Scale so the whole post isn't a loss.

Only Chanson and Len Boone missing on Spotify

There is a Canadian version of Disco Nights as well but it merely swapped out seven lesser-known songs for seven other lesser-known songs.

But things are looking up as HERC glances over at the K-Tel shelf.  He counts nine albums in a row that each have the potential to break into the Top 10 beginning with the aptly named High Energy!
