While it certainly isn't the most star-studded or hit-laden release in the annals of K-Tel history, it's undeniably the one I'm most fond of (by a country mile).<br /><br />For my 10th birthday in October of '79, I received not only my first "big boy" tape recorder (very similar to <a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-azKRhB1lBz4/VLV-Azp8QsI/AAAAAAAAANk/0Bh5hcLKkwM/w876-h666-no/Panasonic%2BSlim%2BLine%2BCassette%2BRecorder.bmp" rel="nofollow">this model</a>, except older... and "Kmartier"), but also <a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-31YgqqdQVCg/VLVtoFbB8mI/AAAAAAAAAM8/n2e-O7K1HUw/w751-h736-no/K-Tel%2B%E2%80%93%2BHot%2BNights%2B%26%2BCity%2BLights%2B%28Cassette%29.bmp" rel="nofollow">this phenomenal cassette</a> to go with it. Front to back, I must've played that tape what seemed like a thousand times or more; soaking in whole experience each and every time. I'm not the least bit surprised that of all the cassettes I bought in subsequent years, none could ever match the thrill of that first "hot night"... Ahem!<br /><br />Before we get to what is quickly becoming an obligatory feature of Ol' Dirk's comments, I should probably point out that the cassette track listing does, in fact, differ from the vinyl album in that Instant Funk & Gonzalez switch places in the 5-spot on their respective sides. Other than that bit of business, why don't we get on with the countdown, shall we?<br /><br />Dirk's Official "Hot Nights & City Lights" Hierarchy!:<br /><br />14) Love And Desire - Arpeggio<br />13) I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor **(Disclaimer: There's no Disco song I'm more sick of hearing)**<br />12) Boogie Woogie Dancin' Shoes - Claudja Barry<br />11) I Got My Mind Made Up (You Can Get It Girl) - Instant Funk<br />10) In The Navy - Village People<br />09) Chains - Bionic Boogie<br />08) I Don't Know If It's Right - Evelyn "Champagne" King<br />07) Haven't Stopped Dancing Yet - Gonzalez<br />06) At Midnight - T-Connection<br />05) Ring My Bell - Anita Ward<br />04) Knock On Wood - Amii Stewart<br />03) Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground) - The Jacksons<br />02) We Are Family - Sister Sledge<br />01) Heart Of Glass - Blondie<br /><br />Great album. Great post. Great work. Thanks, Herc!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316426643444798787noreply@blogger.com
