Fun! Fun! Fun!

I bought this album just for David London's "The Sound of the City," but I had fun with all the other songs too. They're bouncy, light, frothy, and very shallow. It's a cult thing, I suppose, but a must have for any disco baby or duck!

Ritchie Family, and camp, make this worthwhile.

There's something a bit depressing about this album. "Can't Stop the Music" was intended to be anthemic, but falls flat. I think the producers were attempting to change their sound to adapt to 1980 sensibilities, as evidenced by "rockish" "Liberation," but this too simply does not feel like the Village People that made its earlier hits. However, there are two reasons I recommend this though only to disco devotees. First, there are some good songs. My favorite is the Ritchie Family's "Give Me a Break," which I think is their best. The Village People's "Milkshake" is great in a campy way. Second, one will enjoy the soundtrack more if they have seen the film in all its horrendous glory. No review can do it justice: Xanadu pales in comparison to its hamhanded production and "plot." It's so bad it's wonderful!

Wonderful

I love this album. So Many happy memories attached to it of happy times!!
Got to disagree what the above reviewer says about The Ritchie Family. They are a wonderful camp disco extravaganza of a group with powerful and soulfull vocals. Anyone with a sense of camp and a love of fully orchestrated disco anthems will love their work with Jaques Morali and Henri Belolo. We have fallen a long way since as full orchestrations are rarley found these days and the time spent recording pop today is high speed for quanity not quality!
(JK is one of the few artists still doing the real thing these days.)
If you love Disco you gotta get this!
