and...Disco 5!!!!

[Disco.]

Yes it is, though Se A Vida E` would have been Top 5 if they had released both cd singles the same week.

[Flaffer]

Se A Vida E wasn’t a complete self write. It was a semi cover, if there’s such a thing

[Disco.]

Still consider it a psb song , they were a bit generous with writing credits, fair enough of them.

[ChoonHound]

Generous? Weren’t they sued?

[Disco.]

Like with Go West, they are credited with additional music and lyrics, but gave all publishing rights to Moralo/Belolo/Villis.
They could have fought that a bit, if they wanted to.

[Disco.]

Generous? Weren’t they sued?

No.

[ChoonHound]

You sure? Was there not at least a threat? I remember reading something, but it was 25 years ago.

[Disco.]

Pretty sure, never heard they were sued because of that.

[Disco.]

Someone sued them over Opportunities…A t first he would take something like £ 15,000 to drop it, but they refused, and it went to court, and then it turned out that it was a totally different song, he “thought “ he had written, by another band, it was all a bit sad as Neil at the time said.

[ChoonHound]

I could be misremembering or thinking of It's a sin… but I swear there was talk of this years ago.

[Disco.]

Jonathan King, accused them of copying Cat Stevens Wild world for Its A sin that went to court, and they won and he had to apologize publicly, through the newspaper The Sun( Where he worked) and had to pay a substantial sum, which went to charity.

So Disco 5 is likely to be yet another album of remixes of other peoples work - a shame if so as we had this with Disco 4 and that was a bit meh.

Anyway, what would we expect to see on it? I would think at least:

Paul Weller - Cosmic Fringes
Noel Gallagher - Think of a number (there was a remix that was 'too PSB' for Noel so that might make an appearance)
Sleaford Mods - West End Girls

Must be some other stuff they've cooked up recently ...
