Disco was all about the 12 inch singles, and it really did encompass a variety of genres and styles while it lasted. What you get here is a well-curated and accurate sample of three facets of the music, for lovers only. Disc 1 is the biggest hits and acts like Donna Summer, Chic and Cheryl Lynn. Disc 2 is the deep cuts, with Cerrone, Bohannon, and Gino Soccio. Disc 3 is where it gets weird, but thanks to the likes of Blondie and New Order, New Wave did frequently find its way to the disco. Here we find Gary Numan, Lene Lovich, Sparks and the Flying Lizards at their most danceable. It's the shortest of the three parts, at under and hour, but then there aren't many 16 minute New Wave epics comparable to "Love to Love You Baby."

London, 1979. From the rubble and ashes of punk a new youth cult was emerging. Divinely inspired by Bowie, Roxy Music and Kraftwerk, a new tribe the press started labelling New Romantics, or Futurists, discarded punk’s old-hat claims towards authenticity and protest, in pursuit of glamour, make-up, dressing up and dancing. Their home was The Blitz Club, a tiny wine bar at the edge of Covent Garden and what went on there between 1979 and 1980 would genuinely change the world. The other name for this cult? Blitz Kids. Without necessarily knowing it, The Blitz was birthing the next wave of British pop stars. A young Boy George ran the cloakroom, its host and doorman was a young Steve Strange, soon-to-be the frontman of Visage, Spandau Ballet played their first gig there and on a given night you might find yourself dancing next to a member of Ultravox. Fashion designers in Regency ballgowns mingled with secretaries in rubber, post boys dressed as Biggles danced next to art school kids dressed as Pierrot. David Bowie assembled his extras for the ‘Ashes To Ashes’ video from the Blitz kids. Mick Jagger was refused entry. Too square.
