WHAT THE D.J. NEWS INSERT HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE MEGAMIX ON THIS RELEASE:
There were thousands of songs being played at discos during 1977, and any medley of the "best" is somewhat presumptuous to begin with. So this is one medley, which presents 20 songs in 20 minutes. Your votes (over 450 of them) from the feedback cards on Volume I, Number 3 helped determine the selections, and our prime objective was to develop a very danceable set of music which would bring back some fond memories for your audience.
