Unfortunately Misses 5 Star

"Indeed yes...Carol Douglas is the disco queen of the 70-80s, rivaling Gloria Gayner and even Donna Summer. But this album almost misses 5 star because the tunes in most cases are just short single versions of around 3-4 minutes (the CD's total length is only 42 min.!), even though it broadly encompasses her representative fancy hits. It's regrettable. One of the biggest factor characterizing disco music is its length, so please include the extended 12' inch versions as much as possible !"

Perhaps the 3rd leading lady of Disco

"By some music historians Carol Douglas is credited with having the first Disco Hit with Doctor's Orders. This collection contains this smash as well as her other mega hit Midnight Love Affair.



A number of cover tunes (reworked to a disco beat) are included here as well including; ABBA's Dancing Queen, The Bee Gees's Night Fever, and perhaps the most unique, The Door's, Light My Fire.



Carol has a good voice, and these songs are fun, and it once again shows that real talent emerged from image of Disco.
