A three-note horn blast, a disco groove calling from the dance floor, a woman's voice charging in to sing "never, ever do I feel discouraged." It's the '70s again. You're surrounded by freedom at its most complete, and trivial. This is how Boogie Nights, a film about the rise and fall of a porn star, begins. The soundtrack consists of dance and trash pop songs playing non-stop, forming a kind of historical narrative behind the action. Vol. I rescues some great nuggets of fluff, both black and white--"Magnet and Steel" and "The Best of My Love," for example. Then, it deliberately goes too far with Night Ranger's "Sister Christian." The song, defiantly candy-ass, challenges our capacity to recycle the pop culture past. Its earnest emptiness and lack of irony make it the most uncool, and fascinating, thing on the record. --Steve Tignor
Customer Reviews:
Boogie Nights is a great workout cd. .......2007-05-15
Love this cd. My children are 20 and 24; they took my cd so I had to order another one. I don't think you will be disappointed.
Where's "Sniff 'n' the Tears".......2007-03-30
This soundtrack doesn't include one of the best songs from the movie, "Driver's Seat" by Sniff 'n' the Tears. Only 3 stars due to this flaw!
another great sound track.......2007-03-10
the music for this movie was just the right picking for the time
Boogie nighs soundtrack.......2007-03-09
Me personally I don't like it but the movie is pretty good. My husband likes the cd.
Driver's Seat.......2005-10-09
Where the heck is Sniff n' The Tears' "Driver's Seat" in this soundtrack. It plays at a definite changing point in the movie where Floyd comes to tell Jack that he needs to switch to video instead of film. It's a travesty that this song wasn't included. But a good soundtrack nonetheless

Customer Reviews:
love to boogie.......2005-08-02
this cd is very good. this cd makes me want to BOOGIE. this cd is a wise investment.
Not as good as Volumes 1 & 2, but better than Volumes 4-7.......2005-04-05
Rhino had so much success with Volumes 1 & 2 of this series that they issued 4 more volumes in 1992. In my previous reviews for CD's in this series, I mentioned some disco songs that I wished had made it on previous volumes. The same holds true for these subsequent volumes. Most of the songs here are all great songs, but many of them I already had on the individual artists greatest hits compilations.
The 5 Star songs included here are:
1. Rock the Boat - The Hues Corporation (the first official disco record)
2. Get Down Tonight - KC & the Sunshine Band
3. I Love the Nightlife (Disco 'Round) - Alicia Bridges
4. Get Off - Foxy (the liner notes call this song annoying, but I love it and I also love this groups other hit from 1979, "Hot Number")
5. Macho Man - The Village People
6. Young Hearts Run Free - Candi Staton
7. Le Freak - Chic
8. We are Family - Sister Sledge
9. The Glow of Love - Change (featuring Luther Vandross on vocals)
10. Knock on Wood - Amii Stewart
11. Bad Girls - Donna Summer
The 3 Star songs(OK, but not great) included here are:
1. Boogie Fever - The Sylvers
2. Doctors Orders - Carol Douglas
3. Dancing Machine - Jackson 5
4. Love Machine - The Miracles
5. Dance (Disco Heat) - Sylvester
6. Hot Shot - Karen Young
The 1 Star song that could have been left off all together as far as I am concerned:
Soul Makossa - Manu Dibango
11 great songs, 6 good songs, and 1 dud is not bad for a compilation CD. Believe me, some of the later volumes get worse than this one. Recommended.
Get Down Tonight.......2004-05-16
Get Down Tonight, Get Off and Soul Makossa. I love all these songs. They stand the test of time. Donna Summer, Village People and Sylvester. The very best from the disco era. This is a must have collection for any true dance/ disco fan.
They Call It Boogie Fever.......1999-10-02
Again, Rhino dishes up more good disco from the 70's. Highlights include the favorites "Rock the Boat", "Get DOwn Tonight", "We Are Family" and "Bad Girls", as well as the not-as-often-encountered "Soul Makossa" and the rather mature (for disco anyway) "Young Hearts Run Free". A few of the tracks simply never did it for me - "Dancing Machine" sounds like a parody, and the liner notes don't lie when they call "Get Off" possibly one of the most annoying disco songs ever. In all, another good collection for you if you "want some ack-SHAWN."
Admirable Collection of Disco.......1998-07-01
Despite a few oddities, the bulk of this CD is disco and pop hits from 1974 - 80. It's not as comprehensive as volume one, but it does boast all-original versions and great sound.

This Album Sucks!.......2005-12-21
If you like the more rootsy sound of Johnston era Doobies,
I dought you would like this. Sounds very dated and nods to the
disco sound of the time it was recorded. The only reason it gets
2 stars is that the musicians play this crap about as well as they can. I normally don't completly pan albums, but this just reminds me of how bad the state of rock was in the late seventies. This is a sour note in my record collection.
First solo effort post Doobie Brothers.......2005-07-20
Johnston's first solo outing contained what could have been a step beyong his Doobie's material. It has the same producer, loads of great sessionmen including Michael McDonald, Nicolette Larson, Bill Payne (Little Feat) Jim Keltner, the Tower of Power Horns and the Memphis Horns. There was one MAJOR problem with this album. The SONGS ARE NOT THERE. Plain and simple, you can add lush production and good musicianship, but if the songs aren't there, the songs aren't there. Johnston was trying for a more "current" sound. It failed. It was more like bad disco. For a better Johnston solo effort go to his next album Still Feels Good. Better songs, more "doobie-ish" material.
An absolute masterpiece.......2004-12-22
I bought this on LP long ago and thought this hit a bull's eye for Tom Johnston! I could not believe how great these songs were and how much they will make a bad day feel a little bit better. The only weakness I see on this cd is "Outlaw," which doesn't seem like it took to much time to write and sounds like a throw in. However, all the other tracks have a soulful feel that is just wonderful. I am so glad Wounded Bird released this on cd....it's about time somebody did!
Classic Doobies Sound.......2004-11-13
I f you are not a fan of the Michael McDonald-era Doobies (and I am included in that category), then this is the sound for you. That distictive voice coupled with the trademark guitar sound and Ted Templeman production kept me going when the "other band" wasn't happening. Listen to "Small Time Talk" for that characteristic sound. It will put a smile on your face-it does to mine.
Doobies Out-takes.......2004-11-03
This is a nice little album from Tom Johnston; it sounds very much like a Doobies album but without I'm sorry to say very good songs. It is even produced by Ted Templeman!! Standout track for me is 'Savannah Nights'. The rest of the very short album (29 minutes) just flows away.
Why did Wounded Bird not release this album together with "Still Feels Good" (33 minutes) on 1 CD ?

Album Description
Funky Delicacies literally "drops the bomb" as it presents the first of a projected three-volume reissue program featuring Trouble Funk, the band that was truly the missing link between funk and hip-hop. This first volume contains the group's most rare and influential early recordings--tracks like "Pump It Up," "Trouble Funk Express," "Let's Get Small," and "So Early in the Morning." Sampled by everyone from Boogie Down Productions to Will Smith, these unedited, digitally remastered original classics are now available for the first time in more than a decade. Includes three previously unavailable instrumental versions.

Love in a Sleeper.......2005-08-28
This album is missing my favorite song from the group, Love
in a Sleeper..I guess I'm the only person who thought it was
such a great disco hit..
what a shame.......2005-04-25
nice songs but..this is a CDR !!!! what a shame..hot productions didn't tell me that.
Great Collection Of Disco.......2003-07-25
Certainly, Silver Convention is best remembered for "Fly, Robin, Fly" and "Get Up And Boogie (That's Right). I'm glad that the long versions was used even though it used about 16 minutes. However, and I'm sure some people will agree that there are still some notable songs missing: "Dancing In The Aisle", "Tiger Baby", and "Thank You Mr. DJ". I give it 4 stars since there was space (9 minutes to spare) to add more songs and no liner notes nor lyrics.
Although I've noticed there are several hits albums, this is the only one I have. It will depend on which songs you want since all the collections look very good.
Grooving 70's style.......2000-07-20
this is a great collection from this group.Fly Robin Fly starts off&is still a Jam that is timeless.Get Up&Boogie is a Jam as well.this is good strong Disco.the music here really still sounds good.good Partying Music.

All of the Sylvers Chart Hits.......2006-08-26
Of all the Sylvers compilations released over the last 15 years, this one is definately the best. All but one of the family's chart hits are included in this package (the exception being "Come Back Lover, Come Back" which climbed the Disco Chart back in 1981).
From "Fool's Paradise," their first chart hit in 1972 to "Falling For Your Love," their final chart single in 1985, you won't find a more comprehensive set of Sylvers tunes on CD.
The 'big' hits are included: "Wish I Could Talk To You," "Boogie Fever," "Hot Line," and "Don't Stop, Get Off."
As well as lesser known gems: "Stay Away From Me," "New Horizon," "In One Love and Out the Other."
And solo singles from Foster ("Misdemeanor") and Edmund ("That Burning Love").
Yet I still hope to see a more inclusive "essentials" collection from the family at some point in the future. One that would include most of the titles on this CD AND superb tracks that aren't.
Classic tracks like "Never Be the Same Again," "Keep On Keepin' On (Doin' What You Do)," "Mista Guitar Man," "Swept For You Baby," "Forever Yours," "Mahagony," and "Come Back Lover, Come Back" deserve to be showcased on a Sylvers best of package.
But in the mean time, this CD gives you a good solid Sylvers fix.
Has the good stuff not found elsewhere.......2005-10-30
While no cds currently exist of an actual Sylvers album (such as "Something Special" from 1976), this Cd is good as it contains the Sylvers tunes that people loved, but cannot find on most such compliations. Namely "Fools Paradise." the lovely 1973 summer hit "Misdemeanor" (credited to brother Foster, hiphop fans will recognize this as the sample for the DOC's "Getting Funky"), and one of their last hits, the wonderful chant "Don't Stop-Get Off", one of those seventies tunes known onkly to us who were there at the time. Most Sylvers cds contain the familiar stuff like "Hot Line, "Boogie Fever," and "Cotton Candy," etc. but this has what is usually left out. Get it while you can!
The Sylvers Greatest Hits..........2005-10-04
I have a sentimental weakness for this group, as they made an impact upon my teenage soul, back in the early through mid 1970's. I play their music, look in the mirror and see what I was, what life was, and life to me was sound. The only reason why I won't give this collection 5 stars is simple. Where's the song "Keep on, Keeping on"? You can't find it anywhere. I can't be the only one waiting on the "Showcase" LP to be released to CD (hopefully re-mastered!). My favorite tunes on this collection are the following:
1. Through the love in my heart (Nice mid paced song!)
2. Fools Paradise (70's pop song with a message)
3. Wish that I could talk to you baby! (Nice pop ballad!)
4. Misdemeanor (Foster's hit - Need I say more!)
