Despite its title, director Whit Stillman's follow-up to Metropolitan and Barcelona isn't really about disco at all. It's more a story about young people coming of age, friends all a bit out of touch with the direction in which their lives are headed. So it makes sense that the songs included here--mostly disco chestnuts--are far from groundbreaking. Contributions from Alicia Bridges, Diana Ross, Chic, and Sister Sledge are safe bets that give the film its Studio 54 shadings. Eveyln "Champagne" King's "I Don't Know If It's Right" and Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes' "The Love I Lost" may the lack the quirks of "Doctor's Orders" by Carol Douglas and "Let's All Chant" by the Michael Zager Band, but it still makes for a solid, fun collection of disco tunes. --Jason Verlinde

 One of the best soundtracks ever! June 11, 2009
'The Last Days of Disco' is one of my favorite movies, and this is why I love the soundtrack so much. It's fun and nostalgic. Some of the songs I really like, and some I never liked, but now I love them all, because I think about scenes from the movie when I hear them. I love Chloe Sevigney and all the hot guys in the movie and I wish I was there! So since I don't have time to watch the movie over & over, I listen to this on a regular basis. If you haven't seen the movie--DO IT!!!
 Not all the best of Disco music is included here... Beware! August 9, 2007

As a soundtrack compilation made by Sony/CBS, this CD should include all the original, FULL-length versions of Disco megahits as Cheryl Lynn's "Got To Be Real"... But it doesn't.
Best track of the album is "The Love I Lost" by Harold Melvyn and The Blue Notes. The rest... Just disposable!
You just think you don't like disco ... August 7, 2007

Ok, well maybe you really don't and if so, this probably won't change your mind. However, do know that if you do take a chance and listen, you will have heard the best that disco has to offer. I play this compilation almost everyday at work and it really jumpstarts my day. I have heard people say that the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack is the quintessential disco CD. Maybe -- but that is not my argument. You really owe it to yourself to hear this one time. And if I had to pick just one track to sell you on, it would be Doctor's Orders by Carol Douglas. If that doesn't at least make you think, "Hmmmm, I need to listen to some more of this" then forget, disco is not for you in any form. In any case please let me know how you managed to keep your feet still ...

The film "Last Days of Disco" opens with the Carol Douglas recording of "Doctor's Orders". I saw the film a couple of times and couldn't shake that song, so I bought this soundtrack. This really takes you back, but it's a fun trip. If you were around then (1975-1980), I don't have to tell you what a dream it was, especially if you lived in New Orleans or some other big city. As I remember it, responsibility was practically non-existent! If you are too young to remember, take it from me, the main object was pursuit of pleasure, pure and simple (well, not so pure.) Lots of disco standards on this disc ("I Love The Night Life", "More, More, More", "Got To Be Real", "Good Times", "Knock On Wood"), as well as some I didn't remember so well. And I must mention that Miss Ross is represented by "I'm Coming Out". So, if you want to go back to that fabled time, here's a pretty good place to start your journey.
