About this product

Product Information

During the 1970s disco was the sound track to the lives of millions. Its hedonism, drive, and sweet, catchy melodies made dancers worldwide experience the bliss of complete abandon. This book traces its entire history, from the underground dives of New York to the glittering clubs of Rome. Along the way, the book provides instruction on how to do the hustle and the bus stop; explains the gay subculture central to disco; explores disco fashions, movies, clubs, and drugs; and tells the fascinating stories behind not only the American hits but the Eurodisco masterpieces, the soft-porn divas, and the mysterious producers behind the shimmering sound.

Most relevant reviews

  • A reasonably thorough and interesting history

    This book sets out to tell the story of the history of disco in some detail. It covers some aspects well, whereas others are skimmed over. It's an entertaining read and one of the few books that attempts to analyse all aspects of the era. It is useful for understanding the background and for finding the titles of certain sonic gems, but as an exhaustive history of the disco era, the relevant chapters of 'last night a DJ saved my life' does it better. On balance - it's not the best book on disco, but it's not the worst and well worth a read if you are interested in understanding the context of one of the key phases in dance music history.
