"I worn out this vinal LP when it originaly came out.I am glad that this was re-released on CD.The orignal LP just encluded "Star Wars" and "Other Galatic Funk"This re-release also gives us the 45 rpm single (7" edit), and the 12" Disco Edit that were mainly played on the Radio at the time."Star Wars" is a great mix of inspired music from Meco that he saw fit from the movie. A must for any Star Wars fan (before Lucas ruined the movie), and also children from the 70's."Other Galactic" funk is a very rare track for Meco, he takes the marching rhythm and the sounds he heard from the city streets to produce a real good marching themed track.Now there are other albums from Meco I have not seen on CD yet, and they are"Encounters of Every Kind" - A fantastic voyage using a 'Time Machine' based story line for the entire album. This is by far my most favorite Meco album. Since this album features a great deal of sound effects, including a full drive by shooting before the song "Crazy Rhythm" when the time machine visits the 1920's era."Wizard Of Oz" - Meco visits and arranges music from the classic MGM movie."Superman and Other Galactic Heroes" - Meco sets out on a musical adventure as Superman."Moondancer" - Meco, the Moon and Disco Music... nothing else more to say."Meco Pop Goes To The Movies" - Meco's has taken famous movie themes, such as "M*A*S*H", "Gone With The Wind", "The Pink Panther", and more and has remixed them as his own versions."
I still have it!

"I have this L.P. at home here. It's in great condition, but it's not like I can hook up a record player in my car when I'm going to work. I love the sound of the 70's and Star Wars is one of my favorite movies, so when I found that they put this on CD, I was psyched! Disco lives on!"
Wonderful Cheese. . .

"This CD as many have stated before is a Disco Star Wars along with several other mixes. Trust me, it is really cheesy and very corny. It is however incredibly fun and light hearted. I enjoy the whole aspect of the disco/john williams hybrid and just simply have fun with it. I am listening right now to a light saber battle with a disco beat underneath it and smiling all the while. Come on music buffs, lighten up and have some fun. This is some great stuff to just rock out to and feel good."

"Now, I;m not a big fan of the 70's, nor of disco, but I just had to hear this album. I am amazed! I'm surprised my parents didn't listen to this when they were my age. This CD has become one of my "must listen to before school" CD's :)Darth Julie Jo "I know no fear...but rather I instill it in my enemies.""
Can't believe I found it . . .

"Back in 78 this rendition of Star Wars was a mainstay of Disco nights in Europe. I taped from an 8-track version back then and finally found an LP in early 80's. I no longer have an LP player (neither the LPs). I have been looking for this on CD for years. It's addicting. The more you listen more you'll want to listen. Thanks Amazon.com. This is the second time I found something at Amazon.com that I had no hope of finding."
