BEFORE SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, THERE WAS UNDERGROUND DISCO.

The soundtrack to Nik Cohn’s New York Magazine story (of the same name) about where disco began. A 1975 score for the underground clubs of Brooklyn and Queens that played r&b, soul and Latin beats to people who lived for the weekend, when the disco was the venue, not a cultural phenomenon. 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. Cohn sold the film rights to Robert Stigwood, and his classic club yarn became Saturday Night Fever.
