DISCO MOTION [1977]

Today's album is Disco Motion from 1977.  It's the third album with "Disco" in the title that HERC has covered and yes, it's another one of those Commonwealth Music releases, which makes it a K-tel impostor in the eyes of some collectors but chances are if you're reading this you aren't one of those people with their heads up their in the sand. However, if you're a K-tel collector and have most of the albums HERC has already featured on this site, then you already have all of these sixteen songs already.  Five acts have a pair of songs each on the tracklist which is almost entirely made up of songs from 1974-1976.  As for HERC's 45 collection, only two are represented on Disco Motion:

With three songs missing the Top 40 and earning no points, Disco Motion's K-tel Scale score was hampered from the start.  In its favor, the album did have four Number One pop songs, five Number One R&B songs and two Number Ones on the Disco chart.  (That last number would have been higher had the Disco Chart been tallied prior to October 26, 1974: by then, four of the album's songs were already off the charts.)  With a score of 25.50, Disco Motion fails to make the Top 10.

As was the norm for the format, the eight track tape version of Disco Motion had a rejiggered tracklisting, as seen on the label below:
