Anyway, as much maligned as it is, and as cheap and crappy as some of it is, it definitely makes for good party music. You should get yourself some K-tel 8-tracks, I don't know what it is about that format, but it suits disco music perfectly.. songs all blended together in an endless loop, and accentuated bass to punctuate the dance music.
Yes, the K-tel tapes are a good bet. I don't recall finding any tapes filled entirely with songs by a single group/artist that I really like. Of course if I wanted to I could make my own mix tapes.

8-tracks were being phased out even by my time, but being a near lifelong Luddite I was hooked once I got my first stereo system with about five dozen tapes in late '90 or early '91.

Disco was the target of a lot of jokes even when it was popular. For instance, a first year Garfield comic strip had Garfield deliberately shed on Lyman's disco suit, and in Airplane! a disco station's transmitter tower gets knocked over by a Boeing 707.
