The future of home audio
The problem with predicting the future is that there’s a strong chance you’ll be wrong far more than you’re right. No one wants to go down as the person who didn’t sign The Beatles when they could, or who thought Bohemian Rhapsody would never be…

dCS Album of The Month - October
Various Artists – Saturday Night Fever: OST
Released on November 15, 1977, Saturday Night Fever was more than just a film soundtrack. At the time, it felt like the music of a whole new generation. Anyone growing up in “the decade that fashion forgot” couldn’t help but hear disco music –whether you liked it or not, it was everywhere. A fresh flavour of dance music that sprang out of early 70s soul, jazz and funk, it reached the UK pop charts in 1975. Within a couple of years, many famous recording artists from Rod Stewart to The Rolling Stones had discovered their love for the genre (or its commercial possibilities) and a disco beat and soaring string sections could be heard on practically every new chart release. ABBA's Dancing Queen popularised the genre, while Chic’s Le Freak really made it stick.
