Condition: Near Fine. First printing. First edition of this terrifically readable and flamboyantly alliterative study of disco with a clear history of the Black, gay, and American roots of the form. A early and scarce examination of the disco phenomenon by Billboard disco editor Radcliffe Joe, recording white, middle-class, establishment resistance to disco's rise and longtime resentment of its popularity: white radio stations shut out disco in early years "primarily because its history was rooted in still taboo sounds of black and Hispanic music," while "Gay support of and creative input into the disco sound now meant that it was no longer just ethnic [.] but gay as well." The book surveys disco as multimedia spectacle, marketing opportunity, and social phenomenon, covering the complex ecosystem of producers, promoters, DJs, and record labels; the use and influence of disco in film and television; roller discos, teen discos, and mobile discos; the discothèque as locus of organized crime; the disco fashions of Fiorucci and Fump Industries; and finally, the complex and subtle Psychology of Disco. 9'' x 6''.
