Casablanca US Schallplatten & CDs

Review: If you were building a disco collection from scratch and wanted to fill in the Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder shaped gaps, you'd probably opt for tracks paired together on this original vinyl 12" from Casablanca Records. 'I Feel Love', an undulating, arpeggio-driven monster that's something akin to a slow-burn, motorised dancefloor orgasm, rightfully takes pride of place on side A (though, curiously, it's not Patrick Cowley's definitive, 15-minite 'megamix' version, but rather the regular club mix). Arguably superior - musically, at least - is the flipside version of 'Love To Love You', a 16-minute disco builder where Summer's breathy vocals and Moroder's spacey synths twinkle atop a sleazy disco groove.

Review: Rather infamously, Donna Summer wasn't a fan when she heard the final version of this legendary disco tune. It was one of the earliest big disco tunes to use synthesizer sounds rather than live musicians and is still one of producer Giorgio Moroder's biggest-ever hits. Summer though didn't like the way her vocals had been so sexualized in the final edit. Either way, that didn't stop it from becoming an iconic disco cut that still gets floors in raptures today. This reissue comes on marbled red vinyl.
