WHAT THE D.J. NEWS INSERT HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE MEGAMIXES ON THIS RELEASE:
Bill Motley and Trip Ringwald first came to national attention with their Supremes Medley on Disconet in 1980. Their "Bitchin' 50s" oldies medley soon followed, along with Elvis and a few other notables. Bill died earlier this year, and what a shame as he was just turning a new leaf on producing music people would fall in love with (like the earlier Boystown Gang material which could do nothing but good!!!) If there is a disco in heaven, then you can be sure that Bill is on the dancefloor leading the crowd into a frenzie as usual.
"The Supremes Medley" on Bonus Side 2 is preceeded by Chico Super Starr's remix of "No One Gets The Prize", and the commercial version of the medley which Motown released is identical to Bill and Trip's (save one guitar lick.)
