Customer Reviews
It's time to Boogie !
Yes! The fashion, the fun and of course the music. So get out your flares and step into those 5 inch platforms comb out those afros and be prepared to dance the night away. Ok so some of the tracks are cheesy but you can't help tapping those toes and humming along and the feel good quality of it all makes you smile. So get ready for a journey into the 70s
Same old 70's disco
Looking at the album cover and the title (soul revival) you'd assume this would a record collectors dream: a double album reviving some lost classic soul tunes of the 70's. Not so.
Instead we get the same old 'disco' tunes. Yeah, there is some soul in here but its the same old tired tunes that most buyers of 70's soul would have already in their collections and that are already available on at least another hundred other similar albums.
This may be of interest to someone who maybe was too young to go out clubbing in the 70's and likes the sounds of 'disco' party records but if you're a soul music officionado steer clear.
In all a missed opportunity really as Earth Wind and Fire, The Jacksons, James Brown and Kool & The Gang et al produced much better not so well known material in the 70's than the overplayed examples here.
