WHAT THE D.J. NEWS INSERT HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE MEGAMIX ON THIS RELEASE:
The original tracks of quite a few great recording artists have been presented in special dance medley form on Disconet. These include The Beach Boys (Volume 2, Program 10), The Supremes (Volume 3, Program 3), Cameo-Parkway (including Dee Dee Sharp… no wonder she's so popular now!) (Volume 3, Program 5), and Elvis Presley (Volume 3, Program 9.) The original artists still can cut it with a dance floor, especially with a little added rhythm and bass to get the sonic vibrations which today's productions often include. Ray Lenahan has edited 12 of The Beatles' classics into a 13:33 trip through one of music's greatest groups, and has added some a bass and percussion to keep the flow going. Ray has been a professional percussionist for 10 years, and has been spinning at JW's East in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida for the past five years. You'll find Ray's medley useable as a whole, or in portions with other rock songs. "Day Tripper" starts it out, into "Tax Man." "Birthday", "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" and "Hard Day's Night" follow. It is really great to hear these guys at 130 dBs!!! Then it's "I Should Have Known Better", "Got To Get You Into My Life", and "All My Loving" followed by "I Saw Her Standing There" and "Magical Mystery Tour." "Rock And Roll Music" is next, followed by what seers like an encore with "Slow Down." They're all on various Capitol LPs.
