Born to Be Alive I am completely disappointed in this CD. I bought it for the song 'born to be alive' and that song is DEFINITELY the extended version; seems to go on an on for about 3 days. Same with rock your baby, I want the versions I danced to in the 70's!! I don't recommend this CD to anyone.
A good manner to remind those funny "Saturday-Night-Disco-Dancing" years... This CD includes a very nice extended version of John McRae's "Rock Your Baby", as well as "Hot Shot" by Karen Young among other great Disco dancing tunes. Sound quality is adequate if you're planning to use it in your next "Disco-Retro" party!
But... Why these freaks of Rebound Records had to include in this CD "Swearin' To God" by Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, and also "Planet Rock" by Afrika Bambaataa & The Soul Sonic Force? These were really insignificant Disco hits... I would have given an extra Star if other songs were in the list of real Disco Hits instead...
Another forgotten classic I agree that Jackie Moore's "This Time Baby" is a great, near-forgotten tune; however, the same can be said for Karen Young's "Hot Shot". Another one-hit wonder.
repeat offender in the series that promises extended versions This time around, we get a fair amount of 7" versions and edits. Track times:
1. Born to be Alive (6:05) (12" edit) 2. rock your baby (6:26) 3. you make me feel mighty real (5:29) 4. don't leave me this way (5:43) 5. macho man (5:14) 6. in the bush (3:35) (7") 7. hot shot (3:34) (7") 8. bad girls (4:59) (album version) 9. he's the greatest dancer (6:15) 10. planet rock (6:24) 11. swearin to god (4:04) 12. this time baby (5:53)(edit)
I ALSO VOTE FOR JACKIE MOORE! This a superb and generous collection of dance-era classics. There's a nice variety of sound and texture across this set. Most selections are full-length, which is very important to us die-hard 70's club music fans. If you have not ever heard Jackie Moore's monumental contribution to classic disco, "This Time Baby," do not deny yourself one minute longer. It is the "absolute bomb."
