WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
VARIOUS: ‘Steppin’ To Our Disco’ LP (US Polydor PRO 060)
An American ‘CBS Instant Replays’-type promotional-only disco sampler, mixed by Studio 54’s Rich Kaczor, has some nifty running mixes as well as on-the-beat chops, but suffers from the US-slanted material used: Gloria Gaynor, Bionic Boogie, Alicia Bridges, Miquel Brown, Arpeggio / Joe Simon, Don Ray, Isaac Hayes, Kikrokos, Peaches & Herb (side one working best). In its favour, it often only uses short segments from the tunes, which is true to the disco style, whereas on the CBS promo LP we were also trying to give jocks the full-length versions when we should really have been mixing earlier on some.
