## What 3 lists say

### No. 7 in [Disco](https://waxonia.com/genre/disco/)

Arthur Russell's downtown art project, rescued by a Larry Levan mix that turns a shambles into a groove. The record where disco stops being glossy and starts being strange, which is exactly where house picks it up.

### Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — In the Room](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-chicago-in-the-room/)

Larry Levan's mix, and the disco record that sounds most like what came after it. Chicago inherited more from New York than the city's own mythology tends to admit.

### Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — What the DJs Kept](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-what-the-djs-kept/)

Disco at its strangest and least commercial, rescued by a mix. The rare groove tradition was never about obscurity for its own sake; it was about records that were better than their sales.
