Truth in advertising from the good folks over at Rhino: ten tunes from 1979, all but one hit #1 on the Dance chart. Pro: great tunes. Con: only 3 of the 10 tracks are extended dance mixes, all others are single versions. (Extended versions marked below with an asterisk.)
One in a series of ten, not to be confused with The Disco Years series, also issued by Rhino.
