Ze is pretty well served by Spotify as the re-edits comp is up there too

well, have to say, i'm quite tempted to pick up the mutant disco comps now.
that edits comp totally hit the spot.
used to have early was not was on vinyl, and forgot how good they used to be before they hit the pop charts proper.

how many mutant disco comps are there? I have a double cd, which I think is the first one?
― mmmm, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 13:49 (ten years ago) link
seems that the original 2003 reissue of mutant disco was 2 cds which incorporated volume 1 and 2 (out the total of 4)
whereas the new editions have separated the releases.

sorry, 'new' = 2011 editions.
Ahh, okay, thanks. That makes sense as to what I can see for sale on Amazon. The later ones being remix/re-edits.

Thanks for the news! Here's a brief archived-from-print-only review of her '06 Best Off (sorry for "ish," but at least it hadn't been so over-used back then, had it?)http://thefreelancementalists.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html

disco version of Arthur Brown's "Fire," punk-funky take on Mission Impossible, rewrite of "Fever" and more. I kinda like Press Color

Are the ZE reissues from ten years back out of print now?
― Michael F Gill, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 00:08 (eight years ago) link
Sadly, yes. You can still get Mutant Disco Vols 1-4 (the 2011 reissues) though.

ok lol it was posted there in 2018 and I replied to it back then. I still find the exuberant spirit of lizzy (especially on mambo Nassau) tremendous and overwhelmingly contagious
