Tribal Rites Of The New Saturday Night: Brooklyn Disco 1974-1975 / Various

If you’re a fan of the disco scene, then “Tribal Rites Of The New Saturday Night” is an album that you should definitely add to your collection. This album is a score for the underground clubs of Brooklyn and Queens that played R&B, soul and Latin beats to people who lived for the weekend.

Bob Stanley has put this collection together, sourcing what was actually played in Brooklyn discos in 1974 and 1975. The album features only a few specific records that were mentioned in Nik Cohn’s short story “Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night,” but all the tracks on this album are cosmically great.

The album includes underground favorites like Moment Of Truth’s Four Tops-like ‘Helplessly’ and Gloria Scott’s Barry White-produced state-of-the-art soul classic ‘Just As Long As We’re Together.’ Ivano Fossati’s incredible ‘Night Of The Wolf’ has fans in northern soul, disco, and prog circles.

Before there was Saturday Night Fever, there was underground disco. Disco was the venue and not a genre of music. By the time Nik Cohn’s short story Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night was published by New York magazine in June 1976, disco was the biggest genre of music on the charts.

Cohn sold the film rights to Robert Stigwood, and his classic club yarn became Saturday Night Fever. Without Cohn’s original story, it’s quite possible that disco would have remained an underground phenomenon.

This album is the sound of disco before it was captured. It paints a scene in full flower, and for two or three years, the scene was largely undocumented and magical. However, Saturday Night Fever would eventually, if unintentionally, wreck the underground nature of this scene, and clubs like Studio 54 would destroy the democracy of the party.

If you’re a fan of disco and want to experience the sound of the scene before it was captured, then “Tribal Rites Of The New Saturday Night” is an album that you should definitely add to your collection. This album will transport you back to the underground clubs of Brooklyn and Queens that played R&B, soul, and Latin beats to people who lived for the weekend.
