Great music, low quality recordings.......2007-04-17

As a DJ of 20 years I was happy to find such a great quantity of extended mixes on one disc. Unfortunately the copy I purchased seemed lacking in sound quality to the point that I could not use it in a professional setting. Although for personal use what a great collection

not always extended versions as it says..........2005-08-09

Disco Nights is a pretty good series, but it always promises Extended Club Play Versions on front, and that's not always the case. You sometimes get 7" versions--and sometimes they even EDIT the 12" versions, which is a shame, because there are a good number of long versions on each volume. This volume gives you:

1. Shame (6:35)
2. Heaven Knows (5:58) (This incredible extended version is actually an edit of the even longer version available on Disco Nights: DJ Pix!!!)
3. I Will Survive (6:31) (edit of the 12" version)
4. I Love the Nightlife (5:40)
5. If I Can't Have You (4:04) (a poorly made "extended" version)
6. I Need A Man (4:59) (not the 12" version!!!)
7. Ring My Bell (6:17) (edit of the 12")
8. Got to Be Real (5:09)
9. turn the beat around (5:34)
10. Fame (5:16)
11.What Cha Gonna Do With My Lovin (4:42)
12. Last Dance (5:51) (edit of the 12")

5 PLUS******STARS! SO MANY GREAT CUTS!.......2005-04-21

I agree with another reviewer that this is probably the creme-de-la-creme of this series. Contains killer dance cuts like Evelyn "Champagne" King's "Shame," one of the absolute hottest 70's dance tracks, if not the all-time greatest. Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive," also ranks as one of the very best, and is incredibly moving. Vicky-Sue Robinson's original "Turn The Beat Around," is also one of the all-time high points of 70's dance music. And, great dance classics like Donna Summer's "Last Dance," Alicia Bridges' "I Love The Night Life (Disco Round)," and Anita Ward's "Ring My Bell," are included here, also in their full-length glory. What fun! The remaining tracks are just fine, with absolutely no clunkers. GRAB THIS ONE!

Most of them are great.......2003-08-14

Ah, disco. A music which saw women take center stage on many occasions. I love to put on this collection when I'm biking, it gives me energy to workout and I can sing along. The variety is pretty good, in fact, some of the selections are rather horrible but we can't like everything. This was the second of this series that I purchased and I'm very glad I did. Think I'll go bike and sing "I Will Survive" right now.

Dance Dance Dance the whole time! Great CD!.......2002-09-25

Personally, I feel that this is the best of the Disco Night collection. The best disco artists are on this CD with Donna Summer singing 2 songs. A great start for any disco beginner.

You can't help but toe tap through the entire album. The CD appropriately ends with Donna Summer singing "Last Dance." brings back memories of those last days of disco, eh? Closin' out the place!

Nostalgic.......2007-07-30

I was really enjoying going back in time with this CD. I was entering and in my teen years with these songs and haven't heard some of the songs since those times. I let my sisters listen to it also and they were really grooving on these songs as well. They wanted my CD, I told them they should buy it.

OLD SCHOOL VOL. 1.......2006-08-13

THIS CD KEEPS YOU MOVIVING AND BRINGS YOU BACK IN THE DAY

The First of the Series.......2005-03-19

When I purchased this one I was happy to find that there were more to follow. I am not that old but this music takes you back to the times when music was music. I love these songs and I love listening to them over and over again. I bought this CD because of Double Dutch Bus and Square Bizz, but I like all the tracks now. A great buy and I highly recommend it.

When Music Was Music Back in the Day.......2004-05-23

Listening to these songs reminds me of the days when music was enjoyable and fun to listen and dance to. Most of the music on the charts detail lewd sex and violence. Some of the artists even have no bones about being arrested and having criminal records. It's a shame we don't shun some of the conduct that is portrayed in their lyrics.

Back In The Day.......2002-10-17

Even though I'm Not too much of a old timer, I still enjoy alot of the jams on this cd. It takes me back to when me & all my friends use to kick it! It was one of my favorit cd's then & it still is now. If you ask me the best tracks are: 2. Double Dutch Bus - Frankie Smith,7. Atomic Dog - George Clinton,9. Cutie Pie -One Way and 13. You Dropped The Bomb - Gap Band. I think all of the old school vol. have great jams; I just wished they had all your favorit hits all on one cd! I would recommend this cd to both the young & old.

"Natalie Cole - Greatest Hits, Vol. 1".......2007-07-20

THE CD CAME IN RECORD TIME AND IT HAD ALL THE GREAT MUSIC THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.

Wonderful Music CD.......2007-07-05

Natalie Cole's greatest Hits are really a great CD with many wonderful songs and melodies.

Missing the best song :-(.......2005-12-11

I like this cd a lot. Natalie sure has had a lot of great songs over the years. One song in particular (which of course as luck would have it) is missing from here. A Little Bit of Heaven (from a now unobtainable cd Dangerous) is my all time fave of hers. In the mean time, I still love Miss You Like Crazy etc. This is a good cd for all Natalie fans - and even if you aren't - because there is a good mix of older and newer material. I give it a four because of the mix, but minus one star because of the missing hit.

Why the live versions? And where's Vol. II already?.......2005-06-03

I want to love this, really I do. But Rule One of a Greatest Hits disc is to actually use the hit version of the song. "Our Love" and "Mr. Melody" are here in unnecessary live versions. ("Lucy in the Sky..." was live from the get-go; I don't like it but at least it's the "correct" version.)

If there's ever a Volume 2, it needs to have the above hit versions plus such omissions as Sophisticated Lady, Someone That I Used To Love, Jump Start, Dangerous, A Little Bit of Heaven, and Starting Over Again. What's the holdup? Even U2 put out hits discs faster than this...

Not a bad collection of hits, but............2005-01-11

...this CD is missing somethings. First of all, who wants to hear a watered-down short version of "I'm Catching Hell"? It was Natalie's rap/monologue intro on the unedited full-length album version that really made this song so great. (The full-length version can be found on Natalie's "Collection" CD).

Secondly, the classic hit "Can't Stay Away" is missing. (A remake of this song was later made famous by En Vogue on their debut album in 1990). Thirdly, this CD contains the live version of "Our Love" instead of the original studio version. The live version ain't bad, but it is the original recording that we grew up listening to and appreciate the most.

Again, this ain't a bad compilation (as it contains some new '90's material as well as the classics), but I'm just a little disappointed with some of the content and especially the sequence of the songs, which lacks consistency and chronology.

Love to hear percussion........2005-09-08

This is a great collection of disco songs, covering 1974 to 1978. Almost all of the songs were big hits, with seven of the songs going all the way to #1. The one song that wasn't a hit is "Miss Broadway", which is a delightfully obscure example of what's known as Eurodisco. This is a very well chosen compilation album.

Good collection of early disco music.......2005-03-30

Rhino Records started out as a company that reissued classic music from the 50's and 60's. Later, they branched out into the 1970's. As they progressed into the 70's, they made a decision to start reissuing disco music. This was somewhat of a controversy at the time. I mean, these people were hardcore 60's rockers. These were the kind of people who hated disco music. However, some of the people at Rhino must have realized there was money to be made in reissuing disco music that had basically vanished off of the face of the earth for much of the 80's. They started off by issuing greatest hits compilations by artists like KC & the Sunshine Band and the Village People. With the success of those CD, Rhino decided to issue "The Disco Years Vol 1" and "The Disco Years Vol 2" in 1990. Volume 1 was mostly early disco music and Volume 2 was mostly later disco music. These 2 volumes contain some of the best disco music from that era. The success of these 2 volumes resulted in more volumes being released by Rhino in 1992. Those later volumes contain some very rare and obscure disco songs. This volume contains the most hits. All of the songs included here were not only disco hits, but they were also Top 40 Pop hits, except for one. The only oddball song on this CD is "Miss Broadway" by Belle Epoque. I bought this CD when it came out in 1990, so I have listened to it many times and have gotten used to "Miss Broadway" over the years. But for most people just wanting hits, this song will be the only non-hit that you will likely want to skip over. Otherwise, this CD is highly recommended.

Best collection of all major disco singles!.......2004-05-01

Rhino has put together a classic collection of pure disco. All the songs were top radio and club hits. Sound quality is great. All songs are the radio edits, but that suits me just fine.

Great Collection!.......2004-02-05

This is an exceptional collection that most people would find enjoyable. I bought this album (along with the 6 other volumes) years ago, but I still play it a few times a year. The well-known hit songs during this time period are here: "The Hustle", "Disco Inferno", and "Love Hangover".

This is my suggestion: You must buy the other six volumes. Sure, even if you buy those there are still LOTS of notable songs missing. What Rhino tried to do was gather the well-known songs instead of "rare, hard-to-find". The packaging is superb: nice liner notes, pictures, and song credits.

All the clasics........2003-06-03

Yep, they're all here. Well, almost all of them. No Donna Summer, the queen of disco. But with the vast , even radio ready playlist available, especially on the always excellent Rhino Records, there are no problems. Try to get as many of these anthologies as possible, since one CD can't hold it all. You just don't hear this stuff on the radio much anymore.

I see your point Mr. NY Club DJ (I'm form PA) but I like dated ditties. Good easy on the ears, yet up beat, light and lively music one can hum along to and be happy is getting rarer and rarer, Along with classic Doo Wopp, There just ain't stuff like that any more.

A Unique Opportunity to hear it from Coplands mind.......2004-02-02

Aaron Copland can be and should be considered the father of American concert music. He decisively created a style of music that needed to be made as we were reaching maturity as a country. This collection of his orchestral works gives a great outline of the music that makes Copland such a innovative composer.
I personally find that the most interesting part of this collection is the inclusion of rehearsal audio from the same recording of Appalachian Spring that appears on the CD. This offers a unique opportunity to hear what Copland's vision of his music was. I am one who personally believes that no performance of a concert orchestral piece can be heard as it was meant to be unless the composer is leading the ensemble. By hearing Copland conducting a rehearsal of one of his masterworks, the listener is given a greater appreciation for exactly what Copland's vision was for his own music.

A definite must have for lovers of the young tradition of American Music.

Definitive American symphonic music.......2002-08-08

When I first was introduced to classical music, little attention was being paid to anything American. Edward McDowell was occasionally played. And Los Angeles classical music station, KFAC, would very occasionally play something by Morton Gould. Gershwin was largely ignored And there was Aaron Copland.

For my fairly young ears, the western flavor of the music was esciting. I could picture western movie-like scenes to the accompaniment of "Billy the Kid" and "Rodeo". Indeed, such music is highly pictorial.

But now I'm also familiar with "Fanfare for the Common Man" and Appalachian Spring. I very much recommend this.

The composer as conductor is unusurpassed.......2001-03-29

This is a reissue of recordings conducted by Copland himself that are totally definitive and, to my mind, superior to the recordings by Bernstein that are generally considered to be the best. The composer has a broader, grander vision of these works, taking them at a slower and more majestic pace than Bernstein and others. In his hands this is great classical music, not just upscale cowboy music. The sound quality is phenomenal for the most part as well, the engineers must have performed miracles because the recordings with the LSO sound better than almost any modern digital recording. Highly recommended.

A great treat!.......2001-03-06

Here we have not only the original, complete chamber arrangement of Appalachian Spring in a pretty fine performance by Copland, but we get a neat 17 minutes of Copland rehearsing it, which is pretty cool for the Copland fan. Plus Nonet for Strings, well performed, which is a rare thing these days. The other disk is pretty average - Copland wasn't much of a conductor, but the chamber Appalachian and Nonet make up for it. Cheap and unique. A must have for the Copland fan.

"wutcha gonna do wit samoans in the house!".......2004-04-16

Wuz just in Maui several weeks ago. Me and a couple friends of mine decided to buy a cool Hawaiian CD in Lahaina before going on a road trip to Hana. A very nice Hawaiian lady recommended this CD, so I decided to purchase it. Throughout the whole trip, we never got tired of this album because no song sounds exactly the same. Although not on the same level as Jamaican reggae, it does not disappoint. Definitely recommend it

i love this cd.......2003-11-10

i used to live in hawaii bcuz im in the navy but newyaz while i lived there i used to listen to the music on the radio and i thought well if im leaving hawaii and most likely never cummin back i should get sum of the music i luv so i searched the web and found this and the other 2 island roots and got em all so when i get gloomy i just pop in the cds and get all happy again. the music is fun to sing along with also i showed my music to sum of the mainland friends and they all thought it was awesome! so i hope you enjoy it 2

Great Hawaiian Pop Music.......2003-10-11

When I used to go to a deli in town, the shop always played lively music in the morning. I asked names of title for each song and I got to know they are from Island Roots. All of my family love the music. We listened in the house and in our car as well. I strongly recommend the album.

As "samplers" go, this is one of the best ever..........2002-04-02

These 18 songs and artists were chosen in the year 2000 to show the range of contemporary performers based in the islands. I only lived in Hawaii from 1978 to '81, so none of the artists were familiar to me. In addition, I generally prefer the more traditional island sounds, especially being 57. Know what? I like this CD a whole bunch! There are even a couple of rap songs on it, and I am not a fan of the style, but they are actually good. Most numbers are in English, but the Hawaiian language songs are also great...the language is so naturally musical, you can love the piece without knowing one darn thing about what the lyrics actually say. Overall, this is a collection of mid-tempo love and lifestyle songs, with island themes and instruments, but aimed at contemporary adult radio. If you have a special feeling for Hawaii, and like "easy listening with a slight attitude" you will enjoy this compilation as much as I do.

Excellent.......2002-01-20

We got this cd in Honolulu to bring back home as a keepsake. We thought that we would listen to it once or twice and then we would store it back with all our old cds. The truth is we listen to this cd quite often. Every single song in this albulm is amazing. A nice blend of Hawaiian beats. I gave this cd to my niece who liked it so much and I bought another for me. I also bought Island Roots, Volume 2. Buy it! You will love it.
