Released by Strut Records and part of a series, Disco, Not Disco has over the course of three compilations unearthed rare records and brought to light gems which had not been heard since their minimal heyday in the dirtiest of genres, disco. I say dirty, because disco is still a dirty word here in North America, imbued with images of ABBA, Bee Gees and Saturday Night Fever. But if that truly were disco, then disco deserved to burn.
But it didn't have to be that way.
And it wasn't.
