The double-disc soundtrack to the blockbuster Saturday Night Fever (available on a single CD) marks both the zenith and the nadir of disco. It was such a popular sensation that it catapulted the music to stratospheric levels of mainstream popularity, and the album was the bestselling movie soundtrack of all time (until The Bodyguard, and then Titanic). But "Disco Fever" became so hot, it could only flame out just as quickly (along with the careers of the Bee Gees). With this record, disco became a phenomenon and a fad. The Bee Gees' contributions are the strongest, especially the once-ubiquitous "Stayin' Alive" and "Night Fever," and they still hold up. Then there's Walter Murphy's "A Fifth of Beethoven," a trivial piece of pop ephemera that may have set new standards for ephemeral triviality. How often will you listen to this record--and how much will you play when you do? There's no telling--but it remains a classic piece of pop history, and when you're in the mood it's a good thing to have around. --Jim Emerson

 Classic Set Remixed and Updated! January 18, 2008
Martin A Hogan (San Francisco, CA.)
9 out of 12 found this review helpful
"SNF" sold over 35 million copies world-wide. It also garnered seven #1 hits in the USA alone. The Bee Gees also won several Grammys from this for production and vocal arrangement. A unique mix of disco, funk and orchestration, this album (now one CD and newly remastered/remixed to perfection) defined a generation and a lasting style of music (albeit with repercussions). If you are still stalling on buying this, consider that it has been remixed and if you ever want to listen to dance songs that actually contain interesting lyrics; this is the one. A great moment in musical history!
 A major cd of the disco era December 23, 2007

This album is one of the most important to have in your cd collection for the success of a good party with friends, so many memories come from this cd, memories of the 70's when we were young and "disco" was the big thing.
Thanks to the Bee Gees for their contribution for making this era an unforgettable one.

I bought this disc even though I used to hate disco. October 11, 2007
Robert Lee (Indialantic, Florida United States)
It's true, I was a rock'n roll, skinny, big hair, Black Sabbath concert t-shirt-wearin lad, back in '77. But I had a lot of great times while grimmacing when the Bee-Gees came on the radio, making out while listening to "More than a Woman", forcing myself out on the dance floor to "Disco Inferno" to keep up with the ladies, and trying to control myself at parties thinking "Stayin Alive". So I bought the disc and had shivers from all the great memories I had.... How bout you?
Excellent- A Time Piece and Cultural Legend September 21, 2007
BellevueWA (Bellevue, WA)
I purchased this album in 1978. Clearly, it is a classic. Disco, of the 1970s, is actually fine music. This becomes more clear, when it is compared to much of today's sounds. Did I go to the disco clubs? Yes, in 1978-79. for about 8 months, in Sacramento. It is nice to enjoy the music.
