The Baby Loves Disco album will be released on the 6th July in association with Bounty. Universal bring you this three CD disco-in-a-box featuring non-stop club classics plus some trendy young and fresh tracks thrown in to keep you on your toes. This is not just any disco compilation because it’s been specially formulated for the parents of young children in association with Bounty Parenting Club to celebrate the club’s 50th birthday. Nothing can lift a day of nappy changing, toddler tantrums and pureeing carrots than a good ol’ boogie around the kitchen. Disco hits such as “Celebration” by Kool & the Gang , “I Want You Back” by Jackson 5 and “Boogie Wonderland” by Earth, Wind and Fire are perfect to dance round your day with nippers at your feet. If that isn’t enough to entice you Baby Loves Disco also features modern day floor-fillers for all ages with favourites from the unstoppable Girls Aloud with their addictive dance anthem “Jump”, heartthrob Justin Timberlake with his smash hit “Rock Your Body” as well as the yummy mummy Gwen Stefani with “Sweet Escape”. Celebrate Bounty’s 50th birthday with Baby Loves Disco The Album. Check out www.bounty.com for further information. To pre-order your copy click here. |
