Released in late 1977 and becoming the highest-selling record of 1978, this double LP is peak disco which, now that I'm tracking albums through the 70s, I've learned that the disco craze was remarkably short-lived. I mean, by the time Airplane! came around just two years later, disco was the butt of a joke in the movie. I would guess that it would have been the butt of jokes even in its prime, but at least it also boasted best-selling and Grammy-winning albums.
I like the mix of soundtrack and score, I think that Disco Inferno is one of the best choices ever for an album closer, and I'll stand up for A Fifth of Beethoven as my favourite track.
