Boogie Wonderland

BABE    There's more Eurotrash here than Antoine de Caunes & Jean Paul Gaultier put together - although that's no reflection on the three lovely Dutch girls in Babe, a trio who sound like a low budget cross between ABBA and Boney M, and one of them even looks and sounds remarkably like Agnetha Falsestart. By the way, I realised one of my friends was gay when he told me recently he fancied the blonde one in ABBA - the one with the beard! 

ARPEGGIO      A non-stop disco dance party for a night to remember, or something to annoy the neighbours. Arpeggio were the creation of legendary producer Simon Soussan - the man behind the sound of Pattie Brooks, Santa Esmerelda and Shalamar. They can make you feel good. 

ARABESQUE      An all-girl Euro Disco trio from Frankfurt who were far more popular in Japan and South Korea than they ever were in Europe. Arabesque changed their line-up for almost every album, although hardly anyone noticed. Oh well, In for a Penny, In for a Pound. Sayonara. 

AQUARIAN DREAM      It's all aboard the Soul Train where the stars are in alignment for disco sensations Aquarian Dream, the creation of legendary producer Norman Connors.

ANTONIA      An invitation from Latin-American lovely Antonia Rodriguez to "Dance with Me", which is probably the best offer I'm going to get today. 

Let's Go Disco! In the words of Andrea True Connection, I want More, More, More! Every night's a boogie night here at ProgArchives. It's your One Way Ticket to Disco Heaven. After all, where else would you go for all of the best (and sometimes the worst) disco music? No, don't answer that. 

You know what that banner heading means. It's time once again to put on your boogie shoes for.....

Don't worry, I already checked to make sure there's no Black Lace on the playlist. 

PHYLICIA ALLEN     You may know Phylicia Allen better as Clair Huxtable in The Cosby Show, but here she is with her loving tribute to Josephine Baker - the world's first black female movie star! No surprise if Phylicia's album sounds somewhat similar to the Village People, as she was once married to Victor Willis (the Village People's motorcycle cop). So they're not all gay after all.  

A LA CARTE     A tasty all-girl Euro Disco trio from Germany served up A La Carte - or indoors if it's raining.
