"It was a very weird decade, interesting & vibrant yet boring and bland in many aspects .... glad it's over !" - Marie

Not featured in this show are selections from disco genres that emerged during the 1980's like ZOUK, contemporary SOUKOUSS, HOUSE MUSIC, ACID, JUNGLE, NEW BEAT and TECHNO, to name a few. There are also no selections from major artists that influenced the sound of DISCO in the 1980's like MICHAEL JACKSON, THE EURYTHMICS, KRAFTWERK, DEPECHE MODE, MADONNA or RUN D-M-C. The 1980's were exciting and revolutionary in some ways in terms of the development of the disco musics and medium. In other personal terms, for millions of lovers of EURODISCO and AMERICAN DISCO from the 1970's, it was dreadfully dull and disappointing.

ABM Records was the store, nestled at the bottom of an apartment building. The first time.. I went.. I felt I was in Brooklyn, Bronx. Wicked tunes, on vinyl. Great playlist for this show, Elorious.
