Review

The success of the title track, featured in Saturday Night Fever, likely overshadowed the remainder of the album. Disco Inferno, the second full-length the Trammps released in 1976, features five other cuts, all of which are laced with the kind of Philly soul-rooted elegance heard on the group's biggest hit, with the likes of Norman Harris, Allan Felder, Ron Kersey, and Ron Tyson involved with the songwriting, arranging, and production. "I Feel Like I've Been Livin' (On the Dark Side of the Moon)" was the only other charting single, but at least two others -- especially the opening "Body Contact Contract" -- deserved regular rotation. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
