Review: Rather infamously, Donna Summer wasn't a fan when she heard the final version of this legendary disco tune. It was one of the earliest big disco tunes to use synthesizer sounds rather than live musicians and is still one of producer Giorgio Moroder's biggest-ever hits. Summer though didn't like the way her vocals had been so sexualized in the final edit. Either way, that didn't stop it from becoming an iconic disco cut that still gets floors in raptures today. This reissue comes on marbled red vinyl.

Review: Classic Casablanca disco re-issue. Far and away Summer's sweetest season, 'Bad Girls' stands as a pop
and disco classic 24 years after its release. And this expanded, remastered deluxe edition brings a new
dimension to the reach and range of this stunning musical document. Also contains the big hit 'Hot Stuff'.

Review: The Wanderer has been in and out of print for many years since it first landed in 1980. The last time it was reissued was in 2014 but here it comes again on white, heavyweight vinyl. It does feature Summer's most famous track but it does reach plenty of brilliant synth-disco highs all the same. It is said that Summer was done with disco when she wrote this and that it was a more rock-inspired record co-written and produced by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, but drop these in the club and they will cause carnage. The album peaked at 13 on the Billboard Chart and the title cut was number 3 on the singles chart for a while, though none of the tracks cracked the UK charts.

Review: Donna Summer's I'm a Rainbow is one of the more curious albums in the disco diva's catalogue, in part because it was never officially completed in 1981 (it eventually saw the light of day in 1996) and saw her diversify and update her sound for the post-disco era. This lavish package offers a new perspective on the set, with a variety of producers offering "recovered and recoloured" interpretations. There are some fine revisions on show, many of which add a polished, 21st century nu-disco sheen to Summer's songs. Highlights include the hybrid disco/80s soul take on 'I Believe (In You)' by Figo Sound, the chiming, AM-radio friendly, Jam & Lewis style Le Flex remix of 'Sweet Emotion', and Ladies On Mars various Hi-NRG/synth-pop influenced reworks of 'Brooklyn', Highway Runner' and 'Leave Me Alone'.

Review: Released three years after the disappointing commercial success of Cats Without Claws (which has since received the acclaim it deserves) All Systems Go was the thirteenth album by disco icon Donna Summer, which once again saw her collaborate with Harold Faltermeyer, co-writer of the hit single 'Hot Stuff' and her successful Bad Girls LP. The album birthed two singles, such as the romantic RnB song 'Dinner with Gershwin' gave Summer her highest UK chart placing since the '70s, and the second was the bittersweet 'Only the Fool Survives' featuring Mickey Thomas.

Review: Crayons is the seventh studio album by Donna Summer. First released in 2008 for an audience who were then largely over disco yet still hungry for Summer's 'queen' image, the album suitably adopted a clean and pristine noughties pop glitz, apt for the demands of the day. With standouts such as 'Stamp Your Feet', many of the tracks abandoned disco entirely for a more freestyle or electronic dance emotion. A euphoric comeback, which now hears and sees a vinyl reissue.

Review: This is a vinyl reissue of the 1989 album Another Place And Time by Donna Summer, the legendary American singer and songwriter, and co-pioneer of Hi-NRG disco (for those not in the know) with Giorgio Moroder. Coming fresh with a completely new novelty album cover, it's got just 10 tracks of pop, disco and dance, reflecting the late 80s assembly-line approach to releasing such music . Summer was extending one foot to balladry by this time, with the hit singles 'This Time I Know It's For Real' and 'I Don't Wanna Get Hurt' going for the more heartfelt power-chordism shot for by solo artists releasing music closer to the Millennium. Nonetheless, this is still quintessential Summer.

Review: Another Place, Another Time was one of the many acclaimed works by American disco queen Donna Summer. It arrived in 1989 and now gets another reissue such is its enduring popularity. It saw Donna pair with the legendary production outfit Stock Aitken Waterman and features the globally recognised and top ten single 'This Time I Know It's For Real' as well as UK Top 10 hit 'I Don't Wanna Get Hurt'. This version is a superb picture disc edition for extra collector's brownie points and a fine addition to your deck.
