Donna Summer – Donna Summer Mega-Mixx (US 12″ Promo)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE

DONNA SUMMER “THE QUEEN OF DISCO”! Her list of hit records seems endless. She was directly responsible for the success of Casablanca Records one of the major disco labels in the 70’s.

Five time Grammy winner Donna Summer was the first artist to have 3 Consecutive #1 double-disc albums on the US pop charts !!! This ultra rare nearly 15 minute mega-mixx showcases some of her biggest hits of the 70’s and 80’s.

This 12″ was only circulated to DJs and radio personnel in limited quantities by the now defunct US based remix service Mega-Mixx Industries Ltd. The year of release is unknown but probably in the late 80’s or early 90’s.

*Please Note: This is not an officially released single therefore the vinyl mastering may not be perfect. However I have made every attempt to restore this rare gem. In addition I have also included custom artwork and a scan of the record label.
