For this month's Heavy Disco Spectacular, Ashley revisited the incredible ‘The Disco Files 1973-78’ book by Vince Aletti which drills down into the DJ charts and records played during those years. These charts are his inspiration for this show. Thanks to Bill Brewster for publishing the book on his DJhistory.com imprint. The following selection of music is dedicated to all the DJs who went before to blaze a trail and the people who danced – this is the sound of the Bath House.
