The Twelve Inch 178 : Copacabana (At The Copa) : Disco/Eurodisco - 1978

This week’s mixtape is pure classic disco, 1978 in full glittering swing. We kick things off with the extended 12-inch of Barry Manilow’s Copacabana (At The Copa) and launch straight into a high-energy, no-holds-barred dancefloor session. With 18 tracks packed in, there’s no time to catch your breath, the groove never lets up.

You’ll hear some familiar anthems, like Rod Stewart’s Do Ya Think I’m Sexy in a Jim Burgess 12-inch mix, Bebu Silvetti’s Spring Rain (via the Canadian PAJ disco version), and Maynard Ferguson’s Gonna Fly Now from Rocky, here in a rare 12-inch take.

But the real treats are the deeper dancefloor cuts: Ronnie Dyson’s If The Shoe Fits (Dance In It), a killer Michael Zager production, Richard T. Bear’s Sunshine Hotel, and the always-magnetic Norma Jean Wright with Sorcerer.

Get ready to sweat, this one’s a non-stop ride.
