VA - The Best Disco Party Album in the World... Ever! (2023)

As the title makes clear, this three-disc, unmixed collection has one simple aim: to soundtrack kitchen discos, living room dances and long car journeys with a jam-packed selection of disco hits and disco-tinged favourites. It does a good job at that, even if some of the selections tend towards the lesser-known end of the commercial disco spectrum, discs showcasing such disco must-haves and part-starting sing-alongs as Dan Hartmans soaring Relight My Fire famously covered Take That in the 90s, Diana Ross's Im Coming Out, Chaka Khan's inspired 'Young Hearts Run Free', Grace Jones' punk-funk Roxy Music cover Love Is The Drug, McFadden & Whiteheads epic Aint No Stopping Us Now and Cheryl Lynns peerless Got To Be Real.
