DJs across America went out and found the music to play; dancers went out and found the clubs. At this point, in the early seventies, the disco was the venue and not a genre of music. By the time Nik Cohn's short story Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night was published by New York magazine in June 1976, disco was the biggest genre of music on the charts and was about to get bigger still, becoming an all-enveloping cultural phenomenon. Cohn sold the film rights to Robert Stigwood, and his classic club yarn became Saturday Night Fever. \"Tribal Rites Of The New Saturday Night\" is the soundtrack to Cohn's story, where disco began; a 1975 score for the underground clubs of Brooklyn and Queens that played R\u0026amp;B, soul and Latin beats to people who lived for the weekend. Bob Stanley has put this collection together, sourcing what was actually played in Brooklyn discos in 1974 and 1975. Only a few specific records were mentioned in Cohn's feature, but two of them - Ben E King's 'Supernatural Thing Part 1' and Harold Melvin's 'Wake Up Everybody' - were cosmically great and both are included here, alongside underground favourites like Moment Of Truth's Four Tops-like 'Helplessly' and Gloria Scott's Barry White-produced modern soul classic 'Just As Long As We're Together'. Ivano Fossati's incredible 'Night Of The Wolf' has fans in northern soul, disco and prog circles. Without Cohn's original story, it's quite possible that disco would have remained an underground phenomenon - \"Tribal Rites Of The New Saturday Night\" paints a scene in full flower. Saturday Night Fever would eventually, if unintentionally, wreck the underground nature of this scene, and clubs like Studio 54 would destroy the democracy of the party, but for two or three years the scene was largely undocumented and magical. This album is the sound of disco before it was captured.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelplessly - Moment of Truth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter You've Had Your Fling - the Intrepids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelcome to the Club - Blue Magic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Can't Move No Mountains - Margie Joseph\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupernatural Thing Part 1 - Ben E King\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMellow Me - Faith, Hope ; Charity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeorgia's After Hours - Richard \"Popcorn\" Wylie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDate with the Rain - Eddie Kendricks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust As Long As We're Together - Gloria Scott\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWendy Is Gone - Ronnie McNeir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGot to Get You Back - Sons of Robin Stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNight of the Wolf (Tema Del Lupo) - Ivano Fossati\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood Things Don't Last Forever - Ecstasy, Passion ; Pain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTell Me What You Want - Jimmy Ruffin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep It Up - Betty Everett\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree ; Easy - Satyr\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach Morning I Wake Up - Major Harris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's the Same Old Story - Act I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Can't Hide Love - Creative Source\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Whole Damn World Is Going Crazy - John Gary Williams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf That's the Way You Feel - White Heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWake Up Everybody - Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 029667016810\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ace Records Uk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.7.23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ace Records Uk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48702807146711,"sku":"166796","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/5530\/9271\/files\/4221074-2985758.jpg?v=1780449705","url":"https:\/\/licorice-pizza-records.myshopify.com\/products\/tribal-rites-of-the-new-saturday-night-various-tribal-rites-of-the-new-saturday-night-various-lp","provider":"Licorice Pizza Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
