Summary: ***SOUNDSTRACK of the 70s***
Comment: The SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER soundtrack is a must for any music collection. One of the best selling movie soundtracks of all time, next to The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album, it's filled with hits produced and written by the Bee-Gees and others.
I don't think there's a bad track on this album and the remastering sounds good. This replaces my older two-cd set of this album and sounds a lot louder and clearer. All of the Bee-Gees' hits are here, as well as the other artists that were featured in the movie.
And even though there's a heavy "disco" sound to the songs, they still sound fresh. I especially like Walter Murphy's "A Fifth Of Beethoven."
Anyway, if you don't already have this soundtrack then I suggest that you get it. Although I would have liked some extra tracks on here for this 2007 release, like maybe some alternate takes or something, but it's good enough as is.
A small booklet with song credits and some pictures is included, but no lyric sheet.

Summary: The Disco Age
Comment: 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.

Summary: Put on your best butterfly collar and dance!
Comment: 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.

Summary: excellent sounds of an era that could never be forgotten
Comment: 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!

Summary: Unbeleivable music
Comment: 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.
