Kicking off this celebration of 70s party anthems is Queen's timeless ‘Crazy Little Thing Called Love’, before continuing with the unforgettable sing-along classic ‘Sweet Caroline’ from Neil Diamond and the glam smash ‘Crocodile Rock’ from Elton John. Next comes familiar party favourites: ‘Y.M.C.A.’ from Village People, Donna Summer’s ‘Hot Stuff’ and Hot Chocolate’s ‘You Sexy Thing’, before moving on to the empowering massive #1 ‘I Will Survive’ by Gloria Gaynor and the anthemic ‘I'm Every Woman’ from Chaka Khan. The dancefloor keeps buzzing with ‘Le Freak’ from Chic, Boney M.'s ‘Sunny’, and the global best-seller ‘Yes Sir, I Can Boogie’ from Baccara. The floor-filling magic of ‘Disco Inferno’ from The Trammps, ahead of party staple ‘I'm In The Mood For Dancing’ from The Nolans, leads the first disc to a close with country gold ‘The Devil Went Down To Georgia’, and a huge hit from the end of 1979 for Fidler’s Dram, ‘Daytrip To Bangor (Didn’t We Have A Lovely Time)’
Disc 2 launches into high-energy Glam-rock classics with ‘The Ballroom Blitz’ from Sweet, the electrifying #1 ‘Devil Gate Drive’ by Suzi Quatro, and Slade’s iconic ‘Cum On Feel The Noize’, alongside classic glam pop hits from Mud (‘Tiger Feet’) and Wizzard (‘See My Baby Jive’) and ‘My Coo Ca Choo’ from Alvin Stardust. Air-guitar party essentials from Status Quo (‘Rockin' All Over The World’) and Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s ‘You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet’ are up next…Blondie's debut smash ‘Denis’, and The Rezillos ‘Top Of The Pops’ are both pop-party gems, and ‘The Grease Megamix’ from John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John kicks off rock & roll nostalgia that includes unforgettable hits from Bay City Rollers, The Rubettes and Showaddywaddy…ahead of pure-pop brilliance from Pilot, Sailor, Roxy Music and Racey – with room left before the disc closes for The Wombles!
Disc 3 ignites the dancefloor, with ‘Boogie Nights’ from Heatwave and ‘Boogie Wonderland’ by Earth, Wind & Fire with The Emotions, before more irresistible grooves with the uplifting ‘Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now’ from McFadden & Whitehead, ‘That's The Way (I Like It)’ by KC & The Sunshine Band, and the smooth perfection of Barry White’s ‘You're The First, The Last, My Everything’. Disco classics from Belle Epoque, George McCrae, ‘Rock The Boat’ by The Hues Corporation, and the ever-joyful ‘You To Me Are Everything’ from The Real Thing are all featured. The disc concludes with the iconic ‘Lady Marmalade’ from LaBelle, Odyssey’s ‘Native New Yorker’, and Thelma Houston’s epic ‘Don't Leave Me This Way’.
The final disc opens with the timeless easy-pop of ‘We Don’t Talk Anymore’ from Cliff Richard and continues with more party essentials: Barry Manilow’s ‘Copacabana’, era-defining hits from Leo Sayer and Gilbert O’Sullivan, and the classic ‘Kung Fu Fighting’ from Carl Douglas. Althea & Donna's massive reggae hit ‘Uptown Top Ranking’ leads into Madness’ undeniable ‘One Step Beyond’ before soul pop from The Jackson 5 with their #1 ‘I Want You Back’ and James Brown…disco-pop gem ‘I Lost My Heart To A Starship Trooper’ by Sarah Brightman And Hot Gossip features along with Sheila & B. Devotion and the Michael Zager Band, and nostalgic nuggets ‘Paloma Blanca’, ‘Y Viva Espana’, ‘Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree’ and ‘Save Your Kisses For Me’ demand a sing-a-long, before this amazing collection of 70s party smashes concludes with ‘Forever And Ever’ by Demis Roussos, ‘The Floral Dance’ by The Brighouse And Rastrick Brass Band and the fitting and final track – ‘Galloping Home’ from the London String Chorale, the unforgettable theme to ‘70s tv favourite ‘The Adventures Of Black Beauty’.
