Disco Mixes that never end (10 minutes and counting)

Message Bookmarked
Bookmark Removed
Inspired because I've been playing Larry Levan's extended Salsoul remixes CD a lot lately, and I am currently listening to Donna Summer's 18 minute marathon "Try Me, I Know We Can Make It."

So can anyone think some other great disco mixes that are over 10 minutes?

Here's a couple (most of these are 12" mixes, naturally) :

Martin Circus - Disco Circus (14:30)
Logg - Dancing In the Stars (11:04)
Taana Gardener - When You Touch Me (10:39)
Bettye Lavette - Do'in The Best I Can (11:03)
Inner Life - Ain't No Mountain High Enough (10:27)
Undisputed Truth - You + Me = Love (11:11)
Inner Life - Make It Last Forever (12:56)
Demis Roussoss - L.O.V.E. Got A Hold Of Me (10:02)
Steve Miller Band - Macho City (16:24)
Donna Summer - Try Me, I Know We Can Make It (17:59)
Five Special - Why Leave Us Alone? (10:09)
Loleatta Holloway - Catch Me On The Rebound (10:49)
Loleatta Holloway - Hit & Run (10:56)

PATRICK COWLEY TO THREAD

joseph (joseph), Monday, 18 April 2005 01:32 (twenty-one years ago)

specifically, though:

tantra - the hills of kathmandu
michele - disco dance
(both over 13 minutes, i believe)

joseph (joseph), Monday, 18 April 2005 01:33 (twenty-one years ago)

macho - i'm a man (there's apparently a 17-minute version of this but the longest i've heard has been 12 or so)

joseph (joseph), Monday, 18 April 2005 01:34 (twenty-one years ago)

santa esmeralda - don't let me be misunderstood (clocks in at just over 10, i think)

joseph (joseph), Monday, 18 April 2005 01:35 (twenty-one years ago)

KISS ME AGAIN

jed_ (jed), Monday, 18 April 2005 01:44 (twenty-one years ago)

"Double Journey"-Powerline (13:05)

William Selman (William Selman), Monday, 18 April 2005 02:04 (twenty-one years ago)

The Disco Dance 12" mix I have is only 9 and half minutes.

I've never heard the legendary long version of "Kiss Me Again."

I can't believe there is 13 minute mix of Double Journey! The version on Disco Heat is only 4 minutes.

And let me add:

Erotic Drum Band - Love Disco Style (13:48)

Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Monday, 18 April 2005 02:14 (twenty-one years ago)

The long version of "Kiss Me Again" is a little under 13:00.

Jay Vee (Manon_70), Monday, 18 April 2005 02:31 (twenty-one years ago)

"Love to love you baby" is 16 minutes long.

jmeister (jmeister), Monday, 18 April 2005 04:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Do you have it Jay? I've heard the label won't relinguish the rights to it so it has remained out of print for years.

Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Monday, 18 April 2005 04:42 (twenty-one years ago)

the version of "disco dance" i've got (which is actually labeled as the patrick cowley/tom moulton mix) is 13:44 (i can gmail it to ya if you wish to hear it)

joseph (joseph), Monday, 18 April 2005 04:47 (twenty-one years ago)

also-

usa-european connection - come into my heart (extended version: 14-and-a-half minutes)

joseph (joseph), Monday, 18 April 2005 04:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Erotic Drum Band - Love Disco Style (13:48)

i haven't heard this but if it somehow isn't completely amazing i'm going to be very disappointed

joseph (joseph), Monday, 18 April 2005 04:49 (twenty-one years ago)

patrick juvet's i love america goes on for what feels like eternity

frenchbloke (frenchbloke), Monday, 18 April 2005 06:25 (twenty-one years ago)

The Erotic Drum Band one is great, although not as sleazy as you'd expect.

I don't have gmail, but if you could do a YSI of that Michelle track to me that would be great.

Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Monday, 18 April 2005 07:10 (twenty-one years ago)

And oops, Cerrone should be on this thread. "Love In C Minor" & "Cerrone's Paradise" are both 16 and a half minutes.

Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Monday, 18 April 2005 07:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Gary Byrd's marvellous if derivative 'The Crown' weighs in at just over ten minutes
