The Strut label returns with a brand new vinyl edition of one of the imprints most in-demand series, DISCO NOT DISCO, exploring original anthems and rarities from the world of reactionary 1970s post-punk and leftfield disco. With the original two compilations released at the turn of the decade as a new wave of bands like The Rapture and LCD Soundsystem drew on the musics influence, DISCO NOT DISCO has since been adopted in its own right as a term to describe a whole genre. The compilation is more timely than ever in 2011 as a reference point for a burgeoning mainstream scene. The new edition moves from New York classics by Konk and Bill Laswells Material to early Detroit machine music, Belgian New Beat and a healthy dose of UK originals from Shriekback, Quando Quango and more on seminal labels like Y and Factory. Watch out too for rare gems from unexpected sources including Japanese electronic pioneers Yellow Magic Orchestra and 70s prog collective Isotope. DISCO NOT DISCO is packaged in a deluxe 2LP Gatefold with featuring sleeve notes by Bill Brewster, author of >Last Night A DJ Saved My Life<, extensive track by track notes and rare photos.
