"Disco Nights is the series that should have--but didn't go the extra mile. Promising Extended and Long Versions, it always makes sure no song runs much more than 7 minutes, even if that means editing 12" versions. This time around, you get:
1. Celebration (5:00)
2. Shake Your Groove Thing (6:41)
3. Let It Whip (4:32) (not the 12"!!!)
4. FLashlight (5:49) (the full version is over 10 minutes long)
5. Stomp (6:03)
6. Sugar Pie Guy (4:37) (not the 12")
7. Got To Give it Up (6:03) (original is over 11 minutes long)
8. Jungle Boogie (3:07)
9. Burn Rubber (5:34)
10. Put Your Body In It (6:06)
11. Don't Let Go (7:21) (edit of 12" version)
12. Hang on in there (5:08)"
Ok cd but lacks consistency

"The first four songs are good. the best is "let it whip" closely followed by george clinton's "Flashlight". The rest of the cd is mediocre. Unless you want to buy the cd for those two songs, pass it up."
FUNKY DISCO FUN

"Another brilliant album in this Disco Nights series, with great classics like the explosive P-Funk of Parliament's "Flash Light," Isaac Hayes' hypnotic "Don't Let Go" and Kool & The Gang's exuberant "Celebration." Great value for money and a superb introduction to an important sub-genre of 70s disco."
HANG ON IN THERE Duet Version -- Better Than the Original!

"The below poster who complains about HANG ON IN THERE BABY having the vocals of Diana Ross is incorrect -- the version on this CD is a 1980 duet between Johnny Bristol and the group Alton McClain and Destiny. It was a popular secondary version of the song that many fans actually prefer to the original (myself included). So while it is not "the original" it is definitely better than the poster describes as having "Diana Ross screeching all over it." You may even like it better than Bristol's original, at least I do, and it's a rarer version that's hard to find. Bristol's original version can be found on any number of other CDs."
