Actually, this one is better than the first installment!
Though the remix of Gaynor's "I Will Survive" featured on this compilation pales in comparison to the original, heard on the first in the series, the other songs contained within are true indicators of what a generation danced to during the late 70's and early 80's.

Classics like "Turn the Beat Around," the perennial favorite "We Are Family," "Can't Get Enough of Your Love," "Rock the Boat," Diana Ross's monster hit "Upside Down," "Play the Funky Music," the great "Ring My Bell," It's Raining Men," "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty," "The Hustle," "Love's Theme," and the Donna Summer Oscar-winning "Last Dance" will, most definitely, take a disco lover to musical heaven.

Of course, there's a little filler here. "Flashdance" seems a bit too 80's for this collection and Andy Gibb's "I Just Want to be Your Everything" just doesn't fit. However, one can overlook those errors in judgment and just enjoy the disc in its entirety.

Extremely dissapointed
If you like the original version of "I will survive" do not buy this CD. This version is horrible!!! Unfortunately, I opened the CD and couldn't return it.

now THIS is disco music !!!
Pure Disco, Vol. 2 has a lot of great disco tunes and major hits from the golden days of disco! Going to the discothèque meant you could dance your worries away and find glory on the dance floor even when you were down and out in real life. The quality of the sound is excellent and the artwork is very nicely done.

The CD starts with "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor. This sounds like a recording she made after she recorded this earlier; but it still sounds pretty good and it's still great music for dancing. KC & The Sunshine Band do their classic disco hit entitled "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty;" "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty" has one of the best disco beats I've ever heard and they sing and play this to perfection--I love it! I could never tire of hearing this song. Of course, Vicki Sue Robinson does her awesome "Turn The Beat Around;" this still gets them dancing on the dance floor and it has a wonderful beat that is irresistible! The Village People also do their campy, fun tune "Macho Man;" and listen for Sister Sledge doing an incredible hit, "We Are Family." "We Are Family" is another timeless disco tune that really makes me smile whenever I hear it.

"I Just Want to Be Your Everything" by Andy Gibb is a stunning number that showcases Andy's beautiful talents and it's another major highlight of this album. Andy sings this with lots of feeling and you can really feel that when you hear this song. The Hues Corporation also does their great "Rock The Boat;" this love song/disco tune always works great at parties and they sing this without a flaw! Van McCoy's "The Hustle" was also a tremendous hit back in the day; and whenever I hear this it always brings back fond memories for me of junior high school dances and dating.

Abba's "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" has a hauntingly beautiful melody that Abba aces so easily; they were a most talented group and their success on the charts proves it! They don't get the recognition they still so richly deserve today; but you never know--maybe that will change.

The Silver Connection does their "Fly, Robin, Fly" from 1975; we often listened to this on the school bus--it had a radio and we were allowed to listen as we made the trek to and from school every day! Boy, that was great. The Weather Girls do a fantastic job with their biggest hit--that remains a cult favorite--"It's Raining Men." "It's Raining Men" had them doing this act in pink dresses with lots of beefy male dancers on the stage behind them; although I've only seen a photo I'm sure that was quite an act!

Donna Summer sings "Last Dance" with positive energy and all her heart and soul; it's terrific! The CD also ends strong with a mix medley of several songs by Gloria Gaynor--great!

Pure Disco, Vol. 2 is an excellent CD for those of us who still love disco; and this album is sure to bring back good memories for so many of us. This is also a fine introductory CD for newcomers just discovering how wonderful disco really was.

Disco 2 Review
I bought this CD to complete the set of Pure Disco 1 and 3; I couldn't find 2, but, lo and behold, Amazon, of course, had it available. Thanks.
