Review:
The Trammps, sono nati a Filadelfia e sono stati una delle prime band di musica disco, esponenti della Philadelphia soul. Hanno avuto successo nel 1972 con Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart. Il loro primo album fu Love Epidemic uscito nel 1973.
Ma la loro fama deriva dal singolo “Disco Inferno” (1976), che fu incluso nell’album Saturday Night Fever uscito nel 1977.
Altri brani di successo sono Hold Back the Night del (1975) e That’s Where the Happy People Go uscito nel (1975).
Nel 1977, i Trammps pubblicano la canzone The Night the Lights Went Out per commemorare il blackout elettrico di New York del 13 luglio 1977.

There’s a message in the music.

Review (For the re-issue set):
Here is a cool 13-cut overview of the Trammps as one of Philly's crackerjack disco-funk ensembles that features the best of their dancefloor singles. The sound is good if not great, but the track selection is worth the price. The set has tunes from 1972 to 1978 and includes "Trammps Disco Theme," "Oh Waa Hey," "Love Epidemic," "Stop and Think," and both versions of "Where Do We Go from Here."
