VARIOUS ARTISTS '12" Dance: The Definitive Collection 1978 - 1995'
[Release Date 05/10/2009]
3CD
The creatives behind the enormous success of Ministry of Sound's
'Anthems' series, and Universal's '12" 80's', come together on Rhino to
present a megalithic album of the biggest, best and most iconic dance
anthems of all time in the form of '12" Dance'.
Straddling 3 decades of Dance and Club culture, CD1 focuses on the
explosion of the iconic 12" single mix onto the embryonic club-scene of
New York and Chicago in the 70's and its eventual take over of the
world's dance-floors with timeless, powerhouse disco anthems from Chic
'Good Times', Sugarhill Gang 'Rappers Delight', Sister Sledge 'He's The
Greatest Dancer', The Trammps 'Disco Inferno' and Earth Wind And Fire
'Boogie Wonderland' and tipping us into the next great dance movement
with Blondie 'Rapture' and Donna Summer 'I Feel Love'.
CD2 leads us into the 80's, evoking neon blooded rebellion and the rise
of Pop, Rap and Techno/House featuring classic mixes of Miami Sound
Machine 'Dr Beat', Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five 'White Lines',
S' Express 'The Theme... ', Inner City 'Big Fun', Womack and Womack
'Teardrops', Marshall Jefferson 'Move Your Body', Farley Jackmaster Funk
'Love Can't Turn Around' and of course the biggest selling 12" single of
all time New Order's seminal 'Blue Monday'.
Pushing on into the hedonistic electro-dance fuelled 90's with a
momentum that will leave you breathless for the next installation, CD3
features club classics from Adamski 'Killer', Beats International 'Dub
Be Good To Me', Jamiroquai 'Space Cowboy', Deee-lite 'Groove Is In The
Heart', C&C Music Factory 'Everybody Dance Now', Snap! 'Rhythm Is A
Dancer', Crystal Waters 'Gypsy Woman', Utah Saints 'Something Good',
Happy Mondays 'Step On', Jamiroquai 'Space Cowboy', and that all time
favourite No 1, Everything But The Girl 'Missing'.
