Various Artists - Disco Hits, Vol. 1 (1992)

I recently rescued this from a used bin simply because of three words: "Rhino Special Disco." Then I discovered that "Special Editions" meant budget-priced, measly 10 tracks, and no liner notes - ain't nothin' special 'bout that. I was initially disappointed, but I buy Rhino comps when I see them, there's not a stinker on here, and three of the ten tracks are new to my CD collection, so my disappointment was short-lived, sort of like this CD's total playing time.

If you had asked me if George McCrae's Rock Your Baby was on already on my CD shelves, I would have scoffed. Shows what I know. Plus we get the "sequel" to that song, sung by by Gwen, his wife. Maybe they should have sequenced those back to back? And, while both quality dance tunes, why have two cuts from KC on the same volume?

Personal Memory Associated with this CD: None, but the music reminds me of my elementary school days in the Chihuahuan Desert. Been thinking more about those years recently as I have reconnected with a school classmate who now lives nearby. We hadn't seen in each other in 43 years and now we get together for coffee every month or so. I think social media will ultimately end our civilization, but it's not all bad when it creates reunions such as that.
