Blue Movie Monday: THE BEST OF DISCO DEMANDS (BBE Records, 2012)

It's been a while since we had one of our famous Saturday night disco parties here at the Temple, but this weekend DJ Schlocko showed up with a five-disc Al Kent compilation called The Best of Disco Demands that we just couldn't ignore -- and if you're thinkin' you're too cool to boogie, boy oh boy, have we got nudes for you: once you get past the mouth-watering pulchritude pictured on the slipcase, you'll find the five CDs housed inside miniature LP sleeves, each adorned with a photo of '70s porn starlet Desiree West! The music is pretty good, too. We got through three of the discs before DJ Schlocko snorted enough crushed Smarties off an Ohio Players record sleeve to become crazy-convinced his head was gonna explode like nine cans of shaving powder (Damn, crate-diggers wanna know EVERYTHING! It was Rattlesnake). The track list for each CD is below. We censored all the photos, but you can see them unaltered at Amazon, where this limited edition is still available -- or you can just reach into your screen and peel off the "Disco Special" stickers we slapped over the good parts. Yeah, that'll work. Snort some Smarties and give it a try.
