clarifications:

Tracks 76, 137 and 146 are from the Twin-Tone compilation Big Hits of Mid-America, Vol. 3. You might know "Complicated Fun" from some Target TV commercials. This version's even better.

Tracks 136, 139 and 143 are from a comp called My Girlfriend Was A Punk.

99, 105, 107 and 108 come from Matos, who got 'em off the compilation Punky Reggae Party: New Wave Jamaica 1975-1980.

nate you magnificent bastard!

― cinniblount (James Blount), Sunday, 21 September 2003 01:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I am plugging my way thru 1974 (hence "the night chicago died" on repeat in my mind), if anyone has any reccomendations/suggestions by all means feel free to e-mail em to me.

I think I now understand the phrase "Shock and Awe". There's a lot of amazing crap on this and a lot of ummm crap, but when looked at as a whole I have to divert my eyes from the blinding light.

― Mike Salmo (salmo), Sunday, 21 September 2003 03:32 (twenty-two years ago)

no Tanya Winley "Vicious Rap"?! traitor!

― M Matos (M Matos), Sunday, 21 September 2003 06:12 (twenty-two years ago)

damn matos is that from 79!!? i have it on one of the super disco breaks records, its nice!!

― trife (simon_tr), Sunday, 21 September 2003 06:14 (twenty-two years ago)

!!!!

holy shit, trife likes prehistoric rap ABSOLUTE ULTRA SHOCKAH for real!!!

― M Matos (M Matos), Sunday, 21 September 2003 06:18 (twenty-two years ago)

and I'm not picking on you, I'm just really genuinely surprised. but yeah, isn't her voice/attitude/lyrics/etc. totally great? I could hear that voice and those lyrics over something that's right-now current, absolutely. might be the most "modern"-sounding old-skool joint

― M Matos (M Matos), Sunday, 21 September 2003 06:19 (twenty-two years ago)

well i prefer the far superior 'hustlers rap' but yeah!!

― trife (simon_tr), Sunday, 21 September 2003 06:20 (twenty-two years ago)

trife I'm so giddy over this right now you can't even know

― M Matos (M Matos), Sunday, 21 September 2003 06:21 (twenty-two years ago)

also the break from hustlers rap is in the classic film uncle buck

― trife (simon_tr), Sunday, 21 September 2003 06:21 (twenty-two years ago)

(also ace ace ace Nate as usual)

― M Matos (M Matos), Sunday, 21 September 2003 06:23 (twenty-two years ago)

the thing i like abt tayna winley (ha i totally never realized this til just typing her name out but i guess she was related to paul winley huh!!) is how she has that total exuberence female mcs used to have, now its all foxy and kim bored monotone stuff which is good sometimes but sometimes i miss salt n pepa!!! i agree her vocals would be awesome laid over on like a new neptunes beat or something

― trife (simon_tr), Sunday, 21 September 2003 06:25 (twenty-two years ago)

dont go getting your hopes on that ill be feelin a bunch of ancient rap now though!!!

― trife (simon_tr), Sunday, 21 September 2003 06:25 (twenty-two years ago)

1. Tanya's his daughter; her sister Paulette and she did a record called "I Believe in the Wheel of Fortune," which sucks

2. appropriate use of "huh!!" there considering it's every 10th utterance on "Vicious Rap"

3. totally fucking spot on re: exuberance; that's what I like about old old rap generally, "Vicious Rap" just has it in more spades than most

4. your lack of feeling = your loss, bub

― M Matos (M Matos), Sunday, 21 September 2003 06:30 (twenty-two years ago)

plus Tanya says "sure as shit, y'all" really great, one of my favorite instances of swearing evah. not quite as good as the "punk motherfucker" at the end of S-n-P's "Gamin' on Ya (Girl)" but close just cause it's so tossed off.

― M Matos (M Matos), Sunday, 21 September 2003 06:31 (twenty-two years ago)

well speaking of rap thats for very very old ppl theres like some new two cd sugarhill remixes thing out with a bunch of kinda downtempoish dance artists remixing sugarhill records hits, so your jam 'thats the joint' gets remixed by somebody i forgot, theres a nice plaid remix of scorpio, decent roots manuva one of the message, a couple good trouble funk pump me up ones, etc etc... i wouldnt buy it but its interesting enough

― trife (simon_tr), Sunday, 21 September 2003 06:36 (twenty-two years ago)

haha i just noticed pauls sister is named paulette, wtf!!

― trife (simon_tr), Sunday, 21 September 2003 06:41 (twenty-two years ago)

his sister or his daughter?

saw some similar sugarhill rmx thing a few years back, looked horrible, too pox-of-Jason Nevins-type shit; then again I like that T-Ski Valley song that got a house mix (it's on one of the Disco Kandi comps I got in the mail last year) so who knows?

anyway...1979! whatta year!

― M Matos (M Matos), Sunday, 21 September 2003 06:45 (twenty-two years ago)

the year i was born was quite a year.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 21 September 2003 06:47 (twenty-two years ago)

oh, HER sister, ok!! yeah the remix thing is pretty bad though i do really like the plaid one, i dunno im a plaid head though, its embarrassing... right yeah 79, great mix nate!! i like how the warriors theme sounds like its going to turn into an evil dnb track!! and you know video killed the radio star is the greatest song ever

― trife (simon_tr), Sunday, 21 September 2003 06:55 (twenty-two years ago)

oh shit you have the hypnotize break on there too!! much respect!!!

― trife (simon_tr), Sunday, 21 September 2003 07:02 (twenty-two years ago)

my god what a year.

― gabbo giftington (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 21 September 2003 07:11 (twenty-two years ago)

when you consider how many of these artists could've easily had one or two or five more songs from the year on a thing like this it's almost embarrassing

― M Matos (M Matos), Sunday, 21 September 2003 07:23 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah i was scrolling through and realizing that nate hadn't picked any of the choices i would have for many of these artists and it was still okay!

― gabbo giftington (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 21 September 2003 07:24 (twenty-two years ago)

and I'm sore I didn't remember to mention to him Estrellas De Arieto, this amazing Cuban thing that came out that year, could've fit right in next to Irakere...but hey, there's always that sequel, right? >;-)

― M Matos (M Matos), Sunday, 21 September 2003 07:26 (twenty-two years ago)

nate the lack of inclusion of the steel drum version of "cars" on this mix is inexcusable in retrospect.

― gabbo giftington (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 21 September 2003 07:28 (twenty-two years ago)

and the Spinners' "Working My Way Back to You/Forgive Me Girl," as well as Peaches & Herb's "Reunited"--tsk tsk tsk (ps the mix is still TOTALLY FUCKING GREAT)

― M Matos (M Matos), Sunday, 21 September 2003 07:31 (twenty-two years ago)

jess check yr email

― M Matos (M Matos), Sunday, 21 September 2003 07:32 (twenty-two years ago)

if and when i do 1989 i will almost certainly include the brass band version of "voodoo ray".

― gabbo giftington (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 21 September 2003 07:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I'M doing 1989 right now

― M Matos (M Matos), Sunday, 21 September 2003 07:33 (twenty-two years ago)

bah. (emailed you.)

― gabbo giftington (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 21 September 2003 07:41 (twenty-two years ago)

unbelievable. nate, how do i get a copy of this?

― gaz (gaz), Sunday, 21 September 2003 09:18 (twenty-two years ago)

wow, 700MB is about 13 hours of 1979. (12.75 really) (duh, i just read the thread title again - the actual number fit onto this cd is 12.5 hours)

at 192kbps you could fit about 8.5 hours of music into 700MB. so if you added about 50 more songs and encoded everything at 192, there could be 2 cds of high quality stuff here. the question is: are there 50 more songs to pick? i bet the answer to that question is yes. then you'd have 17 hours of 1979! truly a days worth of music. i wonder what other years warrant the double mp3 cd treatment.

― disco stu (disco stu), Sunday, 21 September 2003 12:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Matos/et al: "Vicious Rap" isn't in there because it was listen in the Ego Trip Book of Rap Lists as an '80 single, and I trusted them. I TRUSTED THEM! (slams fist against desk, collapses into sobs) After burning this thing I noticed that Tanya and Paulette did "Rhymin' and Rappin'" in '79 (oh damn that piano riff) and if there were even the slightest chance of shoehorning it in, I could. I'd have to delete something, though, and I can't find anything all that "throwaway" enough to get cut (I couldn't even fit anything from Dream Police on this thing).

I know this is really short on the R&B slow jams and the country and anything else that doesn't make you want to pogo or hustle or skank or whatever, but thank you all (yes, you too trife) for the feedback and compliments.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Sunday, 21 September 2003 14:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh man, if I'd only known about this

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Sunday, 21 September 2003 14:55 (twenty-two years ago)

1974's totally loaded with slow jams and country so ain't no thing

― cinniblount (James Blount), Sunday, 21 September 2003 15:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Ha, '74 and '79 will probably turn out to be some sort of odd yin-yang

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Sunday, 21 September 2003 15:32 (twenty-two years ago)

unbelievable. nate, how do i get a copy of this?
Yessssss. This entices me as well.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Sunday, 21 September 2003 18:10 (twenty-two years ago)

e-mail me w/yr address. It might be a little while (a week, maybe) before I can get some new blank CDs but I'll do the best I can.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Sunday, 21 September 2003 18:28 (twenty-two years ago)

hot damn! well done nate. how much of my soul do i have to sell to get a copy?

― rob geary (rgeary), Monday, 22 September 2003 03:43 (twenty-two years ago)

your cover art is amazing! A+++

― rob geary (rgeary), Monday, 22 September 2003 03:43 (twenty-two years ago)

hot Hot HOT.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Monday, 22 September 2003 13:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I was worried when I saw the thread title. I needn't have been. No Supertramp or Gerry Rafferty (grrr) but that was only to be expected. Great stuff, Nate.

― Jeff W (zebedee), Monday, 22 September 2003 14:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Despite the fact that the liner notes to Disco Spectrum 3 give a 1979 copyright, B.T. Express' "Does It Feel Good" is actually a 1980 song. Therefore, I'm replacing it with Harvey Mason's "Groovin' You", which fucking rules.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Wednesday, 24 September 2003 00:40 (twenty-two years ago)

just make sure my copy arrives safe in the mail, bub

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 24 September 2003 00:48 (twenty-two years ago)

(snikt snikt)

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Wednesday, 24 September 2003 00:50 (twenty-two years ago)

two weeks pass...

Just got my copy.
Many Thanx to you, Nate Patrin.

― Lord Custos Omicron (Lord Custos Omicron), Friday, 10 October 2003 17:50 (twenty-one years ago)

any time. If you want that Mix Challenge thing, too, just lemme know.

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Friday, 10 October 2003 19:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Sure. Shoot a copy in my direction.
I have plenty of blank CD-Rs and will soon have more mailers, so I can keep swapping.

― Lord Custos Omicron (Lord Custos Omicron), Friday, 10 October 2003 20:14 (twenty-one years ago)

ARRRRRRRR NATE!!

(i have "1978" listed on the date on my vinyl copies of Telex "Moskow Disco" and Amii Stewart's "Knock On wood" 12" and still will be using them on my comp.)

(ARRRRRRR!)

― donut bitch (donut), Friday, 10 October 2003 21:07 (twenty-one years ago)

just a few more:

Curtis Mayfield - This Year
Ian Dury and the Blockheads - Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick
The Only Ones - Miles From Nowhere
The Undertones - Here Comes The Summer
The Go-Betweens - People Say

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 11 October 2003 12:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Well copyright dates and release dates are different beasts entirely.I had 1978 listed on my 7" of "I Will Survive", for instance, and I screwed up with that BT Express song as mentioned above because the 1979 copyright date was for a song actually released in 1980.

But if you're making a 1978 comp, you better use Onyx's "Break it Loose (Part II)". It appears on one of those Keb Darge comps and it is completely Godlike.

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Saturday, 11 October 2003 14:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm just going by the date on the physical media i have for this (or on good authority of several online databases if worse comes to worse).. remembering actual release dates would drive me batty. usually the dates aren't too far away, though. and i'm SURPRISED there were only two songs between our comps (mine, progressing still, of course) so far..

― donut bitch (donut), Saturday, 11 October 2003 17:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I love this comp, as i attest to here. Its been my work soundtrack for the entirety of last week, bar the intrusion of one or two other cd's.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Monday, 13 October 2003 02:48 (twenty-one years ago)

six months pass...

Haha, whoops! Why didn't I ever catch "Fly Robin Fly" as a track from 197fucking5? And how could I omit BOOTSY COLLINS? Both problems solved; track 26 is now "shejam (almost bootsy show)".

― Nate in ST.P (natedetritus), Friday, 30 April 2004 21:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Jeez, all those songs from 1979, and you forgot the very best one ("Killing An Arab").

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Friday, 30 April 2004 21:24 (twenty-one years ago)

no I didn't ("there but for the grace of god go i")

― Nate in ST.P (natedetritus), Friday, 30 April 2004 21:30 (twenty-one years ago)
