Album Description

MightyREAL is a 15 volume CD compilation series that explores a very wild, yet musically elusive period in nightclubbing history: 1980 - 1988. This is when Disco, having recently been declared dead by disenchanted tastemakers, went underground to shop for a modern makeover. While on the down low, Disco was reworked into Dance Music . This didn't happen overnight. It was a spirited evolution supported nightly by a thriving BIG ROOM club scene.

By 1980, middle America was all Discoed out - they had enough and finally went home. Quickly replacing them was a fresh new crop of happy peppy party people. Actors, Models, Hustlers, Dealers, Millionairs, Gay men, Trannys, Celebutants, Fashion Victims, and the truly Groovy, converged on the dance floors of trendsetting American cities - the party far from over. MightyREAL is this soundtrack. Disco, Danceable New Wave, Electropop, HiNRG, Eurodisco, and pre-House, are all styles represented in MightyREAL. Here, many on CD for the first time ever, are the original, ultra rare, 12-inch hit singles that ruled the night. Fabulous used to have a sound - MightyREAL is it!

SHOWSTOPPERS is a collection of "up", bouncy, stand alone songs - the ones that managed to draw everyone on to the dance floor. Whether through an outstanding musical hook, a singer with a compelling story, or, good old fascinatin' rhythm; every track on SHOWSTOPPERS was a pleaser that reliably took the crowd just a little bit higher.

4 out of 5 stars A much more disco-oriented volume in this 80s series--including a 1970s classic.......2007-03-15

While this volume of the 80s dance mix series does not have as many big name arists as the other volumes so far, there is one standout track that makes this a must for collectibles. Ironically, it's NOT from the 80s! Instead, it's 1978's mega-gay club hit "Love is in the Air" by John Paul Young, in it's COMPLETE, ORIGINAL 12" mix.

Other tracks are a blend of 70s disco (McCoo & Davis, The Raes), NRG (Harlow, Rainey), and a couple of new wave synth dance (blancmange, hit list). So far, this is the most disco-flavored volume in the series...even many of the songs from the 80s sound like they missed the boat on the disco era. Personally, I would have preferred "A Little Love (keeps the doctor away)" by The Raes over the track included. It's just such a great track whose 12" version has not appeared on CD. And I also would rather this series stick to the NRG/new wave/synth pop sounds of the 80s instead of featuring so many 80s songs that would have sounded dated even in the 80s.

Track times are:


1. take off...harlow (9:53)
2. I can fly...rainey (7:55)
3. That's love that it is...blancmange (7:37)
4. Into the fire...hit list (5:43)
5. Souvenirs...voyage (6:29)
6. Love is in the air...john paul young (5:14)
7. Shine on silver moon...mccoo & davis (7:16)
8. Can we try again...tech-nique (5:09)
9. Don't turn around...the raes (5:24)
10. What a night...terry iten (6:44)
11. Manhattan shuffle...area code (6:00)

5 out of 5 stars UnBEATable.......2006-12-02

This is a collection of some of the best dance music ever recorded. These extraordinary 12" mixes haven't seen the light of day since your turntable went into storage. Take a journey back and listen to the music that had you and the dancefloor on fire. Highlights of this set include rarities such as Harlow's "Take Off," "Souvenirs" by Voyage, the smash radio hit "Love Is In The Air" performed by John Paul Young, the shimmering and out-of-print "Shine On Silver Moon" from Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis, Jr., as well as the club sensation "Manhattan Shuffle" recorded by Area Code 212. Six more club classics round out this fabulous disc, which is the first in a series of fifteen volumes scheduled to be released from Centaur Records. If the rest are nearly as tight as Volume 1, we are in for a treat that's unBEATable!

5 out of 5 stars Do Turn Around!.......2006-02-28

This was a no-brainer purchase. When I saw "Don't Turn Around" by The Raes listed with its song length, I snatched this CD up. "Can We Try Again" is another song I'd given up on ever hearing again, but here it is. This CD has some well-known songs ("Souvenirs" is readily available on CD) and some not so known. "Take Off" is new to me. It features a bombastic show-tune sound not uncommon in gay dance music of the early 80's. Blancmange is a litle out of left-field in this collection, but still welcome. Great songs, excellent sound quality, full-length versions, and best of all, UNMIXED!! This is joyous music, with lyrics, harmony and emotion.
