V / A-Disco Not Disco

"strut records were first, well before DFA Recordedthe Rapture 's Sub Pop debut. 'Disco Not Disco' preceded The Punk funk revolution by two years."Resident Advisor

For Record Store Day 2019, Strut present the first ever repress since 2000 of the influential first volume of 'Disco Not Disco' compiled by Joey Negro and Шон P as part of the label's 20th Anniversary.

'Disco Not Disco' був ідеально приурочений до збірки назад в 2000. Released when interest in the myths, history and playlists of original New York clubs like Paradise Garage and The Loft was at its peak, the album drew on the outer limits of leftfield disco championed by Леван and Манкузо, приведення together unlikely dancefloor anthems by rock acts like Йоко воно and Ian Dury, obscurities from Cottage labels like BC and splash and selected oddities from the unique mind of avant-garde Hero, Arthur Russell. Це було по суті святкування sonic melting pot в Нью-Йорку during the early ' 80s, an era when punk had burnt itself out and disco had become commercial and saccharine; in its place, the post-punk movement threw up brilliant oddities which tore up the accepted rulebook.

the album features full original artwork and Kris Needs ' sleeve notes and is remastered and cut by The Carvery.
