Video from our Lost and Found Sounds channel with both A and B sides:
As many listeners loved this record as those who disliked it! (And it's a great record to tweak the rock snobs with.)
But despite all that, there's no denying the enormous success of this record, as it was a chart-topper. This was typical of 12-inch singles in 1978 due to the hit single getting a remix by a "name" remixer (Jim Burgess, this time out) for the dance clubs. Back in this era, a remix tended to tweak the drums and percussion, and the bass, and new percussion instruments were overdubbed if needed. Due to the remix by Burgess, the sound of this record is excellent, the mix is punchy and rhythmic, yet spacious without being cluttered.
All US copies came with the large hype sticker glued to the jacket; the adhesive from the label on all copies has bled through, hence the blotchy appearance in this photo. My copy is slightly worse than this.
