Various – Saturday Night Fever (The Original Movie Sound Track)

2 star deducted for the absolutely horrible inner paper sleeves, which cling hard to the records, and another star for the plastic shavings on the sides of the record and some depressions in the records.

That being said, the sound quality is great.

A good pressing and great dynamics . This new zealand sleeve is in better condition that the australian version https://www.discogs.com/release/1140205-Various-Saturday-Night-Fever-The-Original-Movie-Sound-Track. Its quite a rare silver / grey vinyl . Good buy if you come across one .

Probably safe to say this is *the* CD version you want. Warm and dynamic and just beautifully mastered. Palmaccio was the master masterist at this time. He started giving in to the loudness wars later on, but his work at the Polygram family of labels was just amazing.

I don't know why I am so surprised at how nice this sounds. Horns are bright, vocals present, it thumps and the bass rolls. I felt the initial strings hit through the floor walking back to the couch after dropping the needle on B1. I've got new nodern-day vinyl that does not sound this clean or has as much energy and sound - and this is a comp album.

This live version of Jive talking is a little hollow. Not even sure I knew it was live, TBH. I had this on vinyl when I was a kid, but that was a long, long, long time ago.

This was a great NM find for $8 and change.

Genuinely curious to know if the red obi pressing, which is supposed to have the earliest stampers, is an improvement in sound quality. This one sounds already sublime anyway!

It doesn't matter what you think of the movie the music on these records is well engineered and a good junk of that era's music history. Seriously enjoyable albums at any age.

Agree, I bought this while I lived in Japan and was just listening again last night, amazing cut with phenomenal sound quality. The deep Disco tracks are truly something.

A good cheap compilation but if you were looking for non stop disco hits you should know it's padded with a number of stock sounding instrumentals. To be fair, it's just a faithful representation of the movie, living up to the "soundtrack" concept. So there's plenty of movie soundtrack instrumentals...but still plenty of good disco hits. But if you were looking for the best of 70s disco you'd have to look somewhere else. People have said the low end is weak. I dunno. Sounds OK. Check out each side length - pretty decent. It's not like they had no groove space for plenty of bass.

Doesn't sound bad. Mine was clean and flat. Will echo another's comment that the spindle hole was a bit tight on LP #2, but once it was placed on once, it was fine thereafter. LP #1 did not have any problem. Outside of that, no warps, no skips, no noise. Jacket photos a bit on the blurry side, but nothing horribly pixelated like you'll find on some current releases coming out. Worth having if you're into this and want a new copy. Otherwise, there are more used copies of this floating around than McDonald's serves hamburgers, so acquiring a decent one is a pretty easy endeavor.

Got this in flea market among other old pressings, heavy static but is drowned by the music so no worries, musical content makes me think i should’ve been a teen in the 80s
