WHAT THE D.J. NEWS INSERT HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE MEGAMIX ON THIS RELEASE:
Just about two years ago, Disconet DJs voted for their favorite songs of 1979. We tallied the votes, and John Matarazzo and Mike Arato put together 18 of the best songs into a remarkable 15 minute medley sub-titled "No More Medlies/Enough Is Enough". To help inspire your thinking for the 1981 medley, and provide a nice and very timely flashback to the best of 1979, here is an encore performance of John and Mike's carefully crafted crowd pleaser. John plays at Charlie's West in East Orange, New Jersey (where the dance floor used to be the shoe department of Muir's Department Store.) Mike plays at Uncle Sam's in Levittown, Long Island. Instant Funk starts it off with their classic, "I've Got My Mind Made Up." The medley keeps building with two and sometimes three songs playing at once all the way to the climax of Donna Summer and Barbra Streisand's "No More Tears(Enough Is Enough.)" Be sure to VOTE in the special section on this program's feedback card for your 1981 top songs. You may vote for five songs… we want your very strongest songs played during the past twelve months. It's tough to pick just five… but remember, we will reflect the votes of all Disconet DJs returning the feedback card, and the limit of just five songs seemed to work well in shaping both the 1979 and 1980 Top Tune medleys.
