As pre­vi­ous reviews illus­trate, Schlockmania is a big booster of the Disco Discharge reis­sue series.  Compiler “Mr. Pink” has assem­bled 8 double-disc sets’ worth of clas­sic disco and as the fol­low­ing news from the Disco Discharge Facebook page reveals, he has no inten­tion of slow­ing down in the near future.  He’s pre­pared another quar­tet of 2-CD comps under this ban­ner and they’ll be released early next year.  You can count on Schlockmania to reveal fur­ther details as they come to light as well as reviews of these sets when they are avail­able.  In the mean­time, enjoy this early glimpse into next year’s first major disco event…

DISCO DISCHARGE 2011 UPDATE:

Just thought I’d give you a bit of an update on the four new albums. As you’ll know we closed the albums about a week ago. That didn’t stop a cer­tain label com­ing through with a load of clear­ances but I’d already dropped the tracks so I’ll look at includ­ing them on a future release. It just shows how busy some labels licens­ing depart­ments must be to have taken over three months to get back to us!

I have to say I am par­tic­u­lary pleased with these albums. It wasn’t an easy birth, with some labels just not inter­ested in licens­ing their reper­toire to us. But in actual fact I think that made me work harder and really dig deep, So I think the track list­ings are very strong. I hope you all agree.

The 1/4″ mas­ters tapes I wrote about last week all required bak­ing and this took place on Friday. Fingers crossed the bak­ing process has worked and the tracks sound every bit as fresh as when they were recorded. I’ll know later today. Once I’ve approved the trans­fers I can send all the other maters to the stu­dio and should have ref­er­ence CD’s to approve early next week. Will be gret to hear the albums sequenced for the first time.

Just been in touch with Alan Jones and he is fin­ish­ing off the sleeve notes this week. I can’t wait to read them!

The label copy ands pub­lish­ing cred­its are being finalised as I write this and the sleeve images are being cleared for usage. By the mid­dle of this week we should be able to send all the parts to the designer Paul Agar for him to work his magic. One thing I should men­tion is that I have had requests to include pro­duc­tion cred­its on the book­lets. Unfortunately there just isn’t room so you’ll have to check them out on line on Discogs etc.

We are aim­ing to have fin­ished copies of the albums by late November so we can start the press and promo. Thanks all for your con­tin­ued sup­port and hope you all love the albums as much as I do.

Lastly the track list­ings for Disco Fever USA and Mondo Disco will be posted first week of November.

Big disco love,
