Once Upon A Time (Japanese paper sleeve edition)

Add to Cart$40.99 ... CD Gatefold
(€31.47 || £26.93 || ¥4188) (approx.)
CD (Item 620091) Casablanca (Japan), 1977 — Condition: New Copy

A double-length, 4 act disco fantasy from Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder – both very much at the height of their powers here – and able to keep up enough energy to make it through what was originally 2LP set! The work's a unified sort of story – kind of a disco opera of sorts – but more than the lyrics or the story, what makes the album great is the rhythms – full-on and non-stop, rolling strongly from tune after tune in a highly energized blend. Titles include "Once Upon A Time", "Fairy Tale High", "Queen For A Day", "Now I Need You", "Dance Into My Life", "A Man Like You", "I Love You", and "Rumor Has It".
