Disco Not Disco 3 also known as Disco Not Disco: Post Punk, Electro & Leftfield Disco Classics 1974-1986 is the third and final compilation album from the Disco Not Disco series released by Strut Records in 2008. The album is a probe to experimental side of disco and punk genres and underground music scene in general. The second volume is more post-punk oriented and features artists like Yellow Magic Orchestra, Vivien Goldman, Delta 5, James White and The Blacks, Maximum Joy, and others.

Contents

This last compilation album of the Disco Not Disco series was compiled by Last Night a DJ Saved My Life co-author Bill Brewster and Strut Records owner and founder Quinton Scott.

The album contains a 1981 proto-techno track "Sharevari" by A Number Of Names.

Reception

  • The AllMusic review by Andy Kellman awarded the album 4 stars.
  • The Stylus Magazine review by Andy Battaglia gave the album 6.2 from 10 saying "The original impulse behind Disco Not Disco was monumental ... but that same monumentality eats away at the new third volume of the series, which arrives on the other side of a revolution whose most important battles have already been fought and won".
