The golden age of '70s disco was the last period of strictly AM radio-driven pop hits. (The MTV '80s hit parade led by Michael Jackson, Madonna and ZZ Top is another story altogether.) Disco records, therefore, had to sound fabulous on the air and they did, with production techniques that remain influential to this hip-hop driven day. On the outside of Rhino's super-deluxe 4-CD THE DISCO BOX, master remasterer Bill Inglot actually receives the simple and rather grand credit "Sound," as if to emphasize the special aural quality of these tracks. Rhino, Inglot and co. have done a characteristically superb job in assembling this definitive disco compilation. Every major hit is included, from the ridiculous (Disco-Tex & The Sex-O-Lettes' "Get Dancin'") to the sublime (Sister Sledge's "Lost In Music".) Though four discs may seem like too much of a good thing--an item for collectors only perhaps-- a mere glance at the track list reminds us just how many great songs came out of this allegedly tacky era.
