Timed to the average time of sexual play, side one's Love To Love You Baby was ground-breaking. The music industry immediately stole every element possible, from the style, the extended play mix, to the overtly sexual theme. Released also as a "maxi-single", it is the godmother of all extended mixes and remixes. Donna Summer takes sexual ecstasy to a new level and the slow, baseline rhythms are not the typical disco beat associated with the genre. Giorgio Moroder's revolutionary synthesizer orchestration is subtly mixed with other instruments in the early outing.
Side two has its strong points as well, all though none of the music could be classified disco. Highlights of side two are the dreamy and yearning vocals of Whishpering Waves and the sexual urgency of Need-A-Man-Blues.

Donna Summer's 'Love to love you baby'(track1) in all of it's entirety, is the pure devine invention of disco, something that a lot of people who tried to emulate the disco sound, (Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson) forgot to take on board. 'Need a man blues' is funk, the kind of funk that most definately & essentially SHOULD have been made in the mid seventies.
From the beautiful woman on the album sleeve to the beautiful music that lies inside - the record is unbelievable.
