Special 5 disc set featuring ultra rare collectors items and exclusive re-edits. Notorious disco digger Al Kent rounds up the best of his legendary Disco Demands edit series. Preceding the proliferation of disco edits in the mid ’00s, Al used to collect some of his favourite cuts and personal edits on a CD compilation series in the early 2000s, offering a selection of cherry-picked aces beyond the radar of even the most ardent disc jockeys. This 5 disc CD collection features 45 obscure and brilliant cuts; from the flash funk of Arts & Crafts string stung ‘I’ve Been Searching’ to the low slung strut of Executive Suite’s ‘Why in the World Do They Keep On (Funk’in with Me)’, through Silver, Platinum & Gold’s dynamite ‘Just Friends’, Hot Ice’s Afro-beat inspired ‘Dancing Free’, Al Tanner’s uptempo arrow ‘Doing Our Own Thang’, and Arthur King’s frisky, wobbly carnival shakedown ‘Fear’ and Stringfield Family’s party fodder ‘Sound of Disco Rock’.
