Stayin' Alive: 'Saturday Night Fever' Soundtrack Gets Super Deluxe Treatment
Get ready to strut into record stores--Saturday Night Fever's immortal soundtrack is being reissued as a super deluxe set alongside the film itself. Based on a New York Magazine article that was later found to be fabricated, Saturday Night Fever ironically solidified the image of disco in popular culture.
