boogie fever


Not just 22 Original Hits by Original Artists, but 22 Amazing Original Hits!!! The biggest catch on this is The Real Thing's 'Rainin' through my sunshine' but there are a heap of amazing songs here. 1978 was a fucking trip. I adore that it's called 'Boogie Fever' but it doesn't have the song 'Boogie Fever' by the Sylvers on it. I also adore that it has such a non-conventionally sexy person on the cover, or should I say, a conventionally non-sexy person on the cover. It also has, on balance I'd say unfortunately, Sheila B. Devotion's 'Singin' in the Rain' - another one of those discofied classics. Additionally, while I adore The Motors' 'Airport', it's so far away from the feverdom of boogie it's not funny. Hilarious that it's first song side one.
