The Bee Gees - Saturday Night Fever

The Disco Age

Well what can I say, one of the best soundtracks known to man & woman. It's always good to have for memories and just to groove to while cleaning the place on a Saturday afternoon. The Bee Gees, The Trammps, Kool & the Gang Etc. Just good old disco music to groove to. I would advise this CD to anyone especially one that grew up during this time, and if you didn't check out the movie first then buy the soundtrack.

Put on your best butterfly collar and dance!

This is a great remastered reissue, if you love to go back to the disco era. Listening to this makes me want to put on my boogie shoes and dance, if I could, just like John Travolta did in the movie. December 30, 2007

excellent sounds of an era that could never be forgotten

The soundtrack to the movie Saturday Night Fever is remastered on CD for us all to enjoy over and over again! The music is strong; and it easily brings back fond memories of going to clubs to forget your problems. The music is great; although I would have appreciated a bonus track or two and some new packaging.

The CD track set starts with The Bee Gees harmonizing so well on "Stayin' Alive." The drums, percussion and electric guitars carry the bulk of the melody and this makes "Stayin' Alive" a strong start for this album. "How Deep Is Your Love" slows down the pace; this pensive, thoughtful ballad, also by The Bee Gees, has them singing of a man who wants to know if the woman he loves also loves him truly in return. The subtle key changes make "How Deep Is Your Love" even more beautiful. Great! Moreover, "Night Fever," with its catchy melody, celebrates the nightlife of the day--love those drums and special effects!

"Calypso Breakdown," by Ralph MacDonald, is a treasure with its funky beat and percussion; it's a solid track that isn't remembered as much as the music by The Bee Gees. Other lesser remembered hits that are equally wonderful include "If I Can't Have You" by Yvonne Elliman and the awesome "A Fifth Of Beethoven" by Walter Murphy.

"Jive Talkin'" gives us another incredible number by The Bee Gees; they harmonize to a funky `70s disco beat that makes you want to jump up and dance right where you are! "You Should Be Dancing" moves along at a faster tempo and The Bee Gees never miss a note!

The track set ends with the excellent "Disco Inferno" by The Trampps. This passionate disco number is infectiously catchy and it celebrates the days of disco. Great beat, too!

The artwork impresses me but I am disappointed that we don't get bonus tracks. The packaging should have been better considering that this is the 30th anniversary of the release of the movie. I will take off one star for this to give this CD a four star review.

Overall, this CD gives us great numbers from the movie Saturday Night Fever. I highly recommend it for fans of the movie and disco fans everywhere should pick up this CD today!

Unbeleivable music

It's a shame this album never won an Oscar. The Academy Awards really blew it with this one.I have seen over the years how inferior soundtracks have won. And this album being as good as it is never even received a nomination. This album was overlooked by the judges. I don't know which album won that year, but if I don't remember wrong, Thank God is Friday (which is a much inferior movie)with its bland songs took the big prize a year or two later.Incredible.

7 Number Ones And Its BACK!

"SNF" sold over 35 million copies world-wide. It also garnered seven #1 hits in the USA alone. The Bee Gees also won several Grammys from this for production and vocal arrangement. A unique mix of disco, funk and orchestration, this album (now one CD and newly remastered to perfection) defined a generation and a lasting style of music (albeit with repercussions). If you are still stalling on buying this, consider that it has been remixed and if you ever want to listen to dance songs that actually contain interesting lyrics; this is the one.
