Disco tends to be a singles genre, and a lot of the best disco singles compilations and anthologies were released years or decades after the disco era had already come to a close, but here scepter/wand records in their infinite wisdom gathered the best shit to be released on the label during the first half of the 70s, whipped up some fun extended mixes (largely superior to the originals imo) and dropped it right here for your and more importantly my convenience
