I went out on Saturday for some class disco. I didn't get it, so here's something to meet the need. Shake it!

Yvonne Elliman - Love Pains
A sleeper record, which wasn't a hit at the time.
Nevertheless, a great favourite of mine with a lovely bit of synth break. Agonised disco is in a class of its own.

T Connection - At Midnight
A personal favourite. Very few records are really capable of summing up that sense of anticipation when you're about to go clubbing. This one does it perfectly, and I've had a few spectacular dances to it over the years.

Chilly - For Your Love
Disco biscuit number three. Mmm. Chilly were German discoteers.
For Your Love was covered in the naughties, which is why you've heard it before. What you've not heard before is the Status Quo style ending, which is awful compared to the rest of the track.

Machine - There But For The Grace Of God Go I
One we all may struggle with. The decision to pack up from the city and head out to suburbia is never easy. And in my view, it is best avoided unless one aims towards a destructive fondness for cheap sherry and Midsummer Murders.

The Mike Theodore Orchestra - The Bull
Disco week continues here at the Peanut Duck with the Mike Theodore Orchestra. This is music for the fantasy disco western we've never thought about before.
But then, we've all seen those cowboys on the dancefloor. They are so pretty.

Amant - If There's Love
Stone cold diamond disco, in celebration of the rise from the ashes. See the Pink Half for more details.

Peaches and Herb - We Got Love
Another disco classic, and isn't Peaches gorgeous?
The best thing is that they look like are having a ball singing it. And when was the last time you saw a male singer just sweetly hold the hand of the girl he's duetting with?

Judy Cheeks - Mellow Lovin'
So irritating that I cannot find this brilliant track anywhere on the internet. Not even on CD. It therefore goes on the list.
It's black soul Abba. Oh goody!

Hamilton Bohannon - Disco Symphony
A master percussionist who is widely sampled but not widely known. The chances are that if you've even put a toe into a nightclub in the last ten years then you heard something that was ripped off from this man.
