Crazy Disco Madness

From 1978, Geoff Love’s Big Disco Sound performing “Logan’s Run.”

From 1978, Joe Thomas performing his anthem to the sex club “Plato’s Retreat.” From Wikipedia: Plato’s Retreat was a swingers’ club in New York City, owned first by Larry Levenson, and later by Fred J. Lincoln, that catered to heterosexual couples.

From 1978, Erotic Drum Band performing “Action ‘78.” Like Taana Gardner’s “Work That Body,” this seems like Proto House Music to me.

From 1978, the Canadian artwork for “Action ‘78,” which was called “Plug Me To Death” in the U.S.

From 1978, Herbie Mann performing “Superman.” This song was written by Pepe Luis Soto and originally recorded by Celi Bee.

I’ve created a new tag to celebrate Mary Magdalene on this Good Friday: “Disco Songs About Prostitues.” Here’s my first entry from 1978, Ray Martinez performing “Lady Of The Night.”

From the “Disco Heat” anthology, and originally on the “Let’s All Chant” LP, here’s Michael Zager Band performing “Music Fever.”

Packaging for the 1978 Disco anthology, “Disco Heat.” My friend Geoff let me borrow this almost two years ago, and it was my first exposure to Laura Taylor and Wonderland Band.
