Do you need an introduction to Disco? Probably not if you read this blog. And even if you are looking for one I don't know if Discothèque's "Intro Disco" is the best choice. However if your looking for one of the better disco medley's then the 1979 funky cut might be right up your alley. This track features short excerpts of popular disco songs like "Y.M.C.A.", "Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground)", "I Want Your Love", "Daddy Cool ", and many others performed by Discothèque themselves. The group's funky "Disco Special" seems to get a bit more attention (rightfully so), especially with it recently being included on Morgan Geist's amazing Unclassics compilation. Overall, "Intro Disco" might not be the best introduction to disco, nor the most amazing song disco fans have ever heard, however the track does makes for a fun and entertaining disco medley.Discothèque - Intro Disco

Very nice to hear a Dutch disco production, although it sounds a little poor, to be honest. The Dutch have always been good copy cats, remember Stars on 45 (an American number one in 1981). The band that initiated the 'intro disco genre' was Veronica Unlimited, who were on the Dutch charts in 1977. Have a listen, it's much better than Discothèque, don't you think?

Sorry, the link seems to be dead...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the first medley disco record was 'The best disco in town' by Ritchie Family, I think.
