I flew from Toronto to New York to get it - a great new and used record shop near Washington Square. I also saw the original Arista 12" of Melissa Manchester's song "Pretty Girls" - but it was so horribly scratched that I left it there. Besides, it was only 70 seconds longer than the album cut. Then, in the age of tech, I mixed my own. It's on my channel should you be interested.
I'm 65 and still a fan. Their music is magical. Reminds me of traveling to Europe back then. Everyone got along. What has happened the past few years? So sad.
@@martiedesnoyers6672 I have a friend who moved to Niagara Falls, New York. He says he missed those days at Circus Disco in Hollywood. We would go there often in the 80's in the Summertime. He loved California. Last year they had the worst winter ever in N.F. I do not know why he moved there. I still live in Los Angeles. But the crime here is getting terrible. I remember we used to cruise Melrose in Hollywood. Now it is dangerous people are getting robbed there on the street and at the outside Cafe's. SOO! SAD!
Now 68 years old and retired from an Auto & Home Insurance Company after 32 years. Now traveling and looking for a Vacation home either in the desert Palm Springs or Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Back in 1980 I went to Mexico City and all they played was Abba and Michael Jackson.
When I was a teen clubbing, they played this and "On and On and On". The dance floor was so packed couldn't even get on it. It never gets old, great memories!
Yea, How about the Famous Florentine Gardens in Hollywood, and the Disco Parties we did with The Maniacs, and other cool DJ's... This was one of the songs we played.. thanks for sharing Thomas...
Yep, I don't even bother to listen to mist of today's "so called music". The 80'/90's rule, they knew music and they knew his to sing! I guess I will be stuck in the 80's til I leave thus world. :)
@@jackdeman No Problem, At that time I was working at the Factory Fashion Works in downtown L.A. Alot of club people would shop there for their trendy clothes with the DJ playing Disco And Alternative music. BEST DECADE for me. 80's rule.
Somehow the past feels more like the future than the present. There was such rapid technological advancement, tenacity, pride, and just such a vibe in the eighties...
I loss my wife last year to Cancer between this track and dancing queen we use to dance all the time to these tracks. My wife was a dancer and model and I was a DJ and dancer. This track and dancing queen brings me to tears of sadness and joy!!!😪😒😀
I’ve got this on original vinyl. Paid $45 for it in 1986. Won’t ever part with it. Danced to it at The Armory, Backstreet, The Cove, The Pharr Library, Weekends’ Warehouse. Michael Stark at Backstreet would blend it with EP’s of On and On and On & The Visitors and PACK the dance floor for almost 20 minutes of ABBA-solutely party!!!
My all time favourite song ! I just love it ! Both myself & ABBA are 50 this year ! ABBA won Eurovision on April 6 1974 & I was born exactly 4 months later on August 6 1974 ! ❤
Definitely one of the most straightforward edits of a classic ABBA track, but it works so damned well. As far as I know it's never had a release on CD, so I ended up recreating the mix myself from a digital source for my own enjoyment. Not quite 100% authentic, but as close as I could come to recreating this classic.
Love the Hell out of it.! Great to Boogie to ! Love those Angelic voices! ABBA is just Magic to the Brain!! Great job!! Thanks for putting your remix out there for us. You made my Day! V
@djmoch I do hope you did a better job with the editing, as this is actually pretty poor edited, even for that time.. I’ve heard editing from back then, also without digital editing, that’s been done so much better… I’m actually working on a remix of this wonderful ABBA song from 1980 (released in 1981 as a 12” Single only) 😊
I believe you immediately and without lying. Back at the beginning of the 80s, there were several bars of this type in a street in Munich's old town. There is a fifth season called Fasching. It's something like Carneval. They only played music like that there. I'm not gay, but they always had the best music of all the clubs at the time.
The greatest mix of one of ABBA’s greatest songs! Brings me back to dancing at the Boatslip in Provincetown and Foxes in Albuquerque. It still gives me goosebumps whenever I hear it!
Here is the official Disconet remix medley for 1979…some others that you may have missed and might like 😀 th-cam.com/channels/gPh12KkTIsZuM8lXxjwkPA.html
It’s still a mystery to me how could they not release this gem as commercially available single back in 81… would have been the perfect third single off the album Super Trouper… sigh…
have so many favorites its hard to pick! But, being in the clubs when this came out, this is my absolutely favorite to THIS DAY! I still listen to it, its bittersweet as the song has such an unbeatable awesome tempo, the words somehow make me sad. It was a time in my life when I was really "looking for love", and so the words are powerfully strong for me. But, I can say one thing, I would put this song to the test against ANY of the club songs today. It's simply timeless. Also, I remember just getting truly "Lost" in the music as it pumped through the speakers. (especially the chorus, which sounds like a huge choir). I later learned that the brilliant Bjorn ran their chorus back through I think a Vocoder? and it created this magnificent sound! ABBA is to be praised for their instrumentation technology which was light years ahead!!!! ABBA 4EVER~WELCOME BACK ~
I also like Love Insurance by Front Page. The absolute best Disco music ever from CIRCUS. Now I am retired at 65 from Mercury Insurance, been there for 22 years. YEA!
I remember I went to Guadalajara and Mexico City back in the summer of 1980. I had gone with some friends who had family there. They would play Abba and Michael Jackson on the radio 24/7. When I flew back to Los Angeles we went home and changed. We had gone to Circus Disco that same night and they played this song by Abba which I heard for the first time, and I loved it ever since. All they played in Mexico was Fernando and Dancing Queen in the clubs. Which I was not too fond of. One friend that I went with, is no longer here. SO SAD! Great Memories though.
abba pasan los años y no me canso de escucharlos toda su musica los adelantos en su estudio de grabacion temas como este y todos sus exitos lo avanzados que estaban para ese tiempo los grandiosos 80 una superbanda que marco una era musical a nivel mundial !
I saw this masterpiece for the first time a few days ago on pictures of Queen Elizabeth and I have been listening to it continuously for several days, the magic of the sound is still alive and continues.
Dixicana Radio Arnhem Gelderland the Netherlands played this version on FM and I was hooked ever since! Dixicana the best radio station in Eastern NL !!!
When I heard this disconet remix by Raul years later(Circa 1986) after the new Palladium opened up in the City, DJ Robbie Leslie was playing that night...All I can say is WOW.....
I remember hearing this on the radio. You could never buy it though. The album version was always the standard version. Ahead of it's time like #IFeelLove and #TransEuropeExpress. #LikeaPrayer on steroids.
Just got back from GDL- Guadalajara, Mexico. Beautiful City and plenty of Bars. My niece and her boyfriend went also, he has family there. They are looking for property there, OMG! They have beautiful homes, and their pools are amazing. It is the Silicon Valley of Mexico. I went online to Capital Brokers Homes for sale in Guadalajara. The house presentations are awesome they play Dance and Rock music while showing the houses. Love It.
Abba was a head of there time with there club bangers... disco was Deep house. high energy. Whatever you want to call it. Disco was the birth of the club music sound....
I had paid 25 dollars for this remix and a guy in Cali paid 125 for this track.This was the last track that ABBA did together before breaking up. Luv it! I still have it!!! Is a shepi boone mix!
Great job Love your remix. Gets you definitely in the mood to Boogie. Hearing those Angelic voices just stimulates the brain and gets you Rockin'. Thanks and keep enjoying the Best of the Best band ever! Viva ABBA!👍🎶❤
Disco heaven and great lyrics about obsessive love - followed on from 'The Piper' on the 'Super Trouper' Album - an even darker song. True Nordic Noir.
I drove from Maryland to Manhattan in 1980 just to get this on 12" ... paid almost $30. SO WORTH IT ... still got it.
Remember me bro? I bought u coca cola

We are lucky to have these memories and club history....
This is Raul Rodriguez' legendary remix on Disconet. This was absolutely huge in the clubs somewhere around 1980.
It’s the reason why ABBA decided to release this track as a single, as it was originally never intended to be released as such
Hot just like u lol 😂
41 years later, this STILL slaps!!!
Turn the bass up and it PUNCHES.
My friends make fun of me for listening to ABBA they're too close minded. As a metal head I can say these guys were ahead of their time !
Now I listen to Hot Since 82 a DJ from the U.K. I like his live sets from Ibiza, Croatia, and the best the Lagoon in Argentina. Awesome Music.
I live in Texas now, but I remember dancing to this tune at Circus in Hollywood, CA. Great DJs! Love this tune!

CIRCUS DISCO, Mike Lewis, DJ, Sunday Tea Dancing & Bar-B-Ques, I have fond memories, went from '78 - mid 80's, the best music ever!

I always wondered why those 3 were n1 on the dance club billboard charts, the mistery is solved I guess
My all time favourite song ! I just love it ! Both myself & ABBA are 50 this year ! ABBA won Eurovision on April 6 1974 & I was born exactly 4 months later on August 6 1974 ! ❤
The solo keyboard finale is one of the greatest. Wonderful to hear a few more seconds of it that you won't hear elsewhere.
Which few seconds? I was listening out for them but it fades into the applause on "The Way Old Friends Do" the same as on the original vinyl album😳
it’s a synth piano so it’s the synth sounds during the last minute

Favoriții mei!!❤❤
The first time heard this at Saint at. peak Roy the master was working it! I got in the. they Show it was ABBA It just blew me away !!!!!!!!
back in 1981 or 82 I was in a small gay disco in Amarillo. The DJ mixed this and Hills of Katmadu. Blew the roof off.

Hills of Katmandu ! That’s what we call “music knowledge 🌟”. Thanks for the mix idea !! ☺️
,, the hills of Kathmandu by trantra
Best remix ever...sounds even better than the original.
I want to go back. I want to get lost in it all over again. What have we done to ourselves. Snap out of it!!
No one can touch this. No one else can compare in 2022! The best dance mix EVER!
I cant get enough of this song! especially this version, already played it 20 times today. Thanks for so much emotion!
Me too😊
Absolutely a banger .
Best abba song by far .
2024 August ❤❤
Finally found this version!! I love it and the memories it brings to me..😔🥰
The greatest mix of one of ABBA’s greatest songs! Brings me back to dancing at the Boatslip in Provincetown and Foxes in Albuquerque. It still gives me goosebumps whenever I hear it!
ABBA is and was my mom's favorite band.🥰
She introduced me to their music in 2006.😄
Everything about this band and music is phenomenal. 😍
They are the best ever.
I made the crazy error of playing an ABBA song at 11pm last Friday. I was still playing them at 2am. I love them.
Crazy but I'm discovering at 60yrs old how great ABBA was in the 80's where was I then?
Not in the gay discos where the Disconet remixes like this one were played! I was which is why I’ll never forget dancing to it! 👍
Here is the official Disconet remix medley for 1979…some others that you may have missed and might like 😀

This brings me back to junior high school years! One of the best remixes of this track ever.
Even after 40 years, this track still rocks!
NICELY DONE!
I also like Love Insurance by Front Page. The absolute best Disco music ever from CIRCUS. Now I am retired at 65 from Mercury Insurance, been there for 22 years. YEA!
I also love Soul Reductions - Got 2 Be Loved (extended mix) heard it at a New Years Eve Party in Palm Springs in 2024.
So I say thank you for the music. Incrédible this song has more than 40 years old, sound so contemporary. Greetings from México.

That's my fav track of ABBA, heard this Remix first in a London Club, sweet, sweet memories :-)
Classic no group could ever make anything better!
WOW this is literally HEAVEN!

I have this on vinyl! Paid a DJ $150.00 in San Francisco for a copy. That was in the early 80s!.💜💜💜

So do I, but I paid 35 euros for it a few years ago ;)

They used to play this mix at a nightclub that I worked at.
Every time that I heard this,
I would run out to the dance floor. Great mix. 😍
The best mixed abba I've ever heard.
My all-time favorite Abba song.. this Disconet mix is great!
My first time hearing this was at the loft in Boston, Ma, I was 15 years old and Gloria was the other big hit at that time.
Me encanta esta versión. Oí por la primera vez en los años 80 en Dixicana FM, una emisora de la capital de Gelderland, provincia en Holanda. ❤

Back in the day abba were huge. They still are.
They used to play this at the decadent but always fun "Crisco Disco".
Fantastic Remix!
Excellent remix 👏🏼
Put this on my cassette player and went to Squaw Valley Ski resort. What fun going down the slopes hearing this. Especially smoking with Gary Grage.
Best Version of this track 👍
Einfach nur mega geil damals wie heute ❤❤
Loved this song used to dance to it in Melbourne Disco those were the days
DJ Harvey played this at MOS a few years ago and it was incredible. Quality of the production came right through the Martin Audio system.
And the Bozak mixer ofc 😁
Das waren noch super tolle Disco Zeiten
Awesome lp me too in my archives of vintage lp albums saved forever ❤😂
Vielen Dank für das hochladen . Die hatte ich auch mal .
