Every Tuesday, the Analog Kid blog goes back in time and features some groovy R&B/soul songs from a specific year. Sometimes you’ll hear songs from individual artists, and other times you’ll get an entire full-length classic LP ripped directly from the Analog Kid’s vast vinyl vault. Warning: by R&B/soul, I also mean disco. I could go all Musique on your ass at any given moment, so just be ready!
Groovy Tuesday: A Night At Studio 54
I don’t think it gets any better than this! On this very special Groovy Tuesday, the Analog Kid blog is proud to present the legendary compilation album A Night At Studio 54 in its entirety. This classic disco compilation from 1979 has never been released on CD, and it contains a number of mixes unique to this LP. My little brother was a KISS fanatic back in 1979, but that didn’t stop him from spending a big chunk of his hard-earned allowance on a copy of A Night At Studio 54. We absolutely wore this record out, and of course we giggled hysterically every time we listened to “In The Bush.” That’s what little dudes do.
Note: each side of A Night At Studio 54 is mixed as a continuous groove, so I’m going to do something I’ve never done before! In order to facilitate a better listening experience for my dear readers, I am adding a separate download link for each song. My advice to you is to download each track (right-click the link and select Save Link As) to your computer, and then import the files into your preferred mp3 player. Each file is already properly sequenced, so you should quickly be able to listen to the album with no interruptions (as both God and Neil Bogart intended). Of course, you can still listen to individual songs (as always) by clicking on the embedded link. Happy listening!
