From a NY Times interview:
Jellybean Benitez, D.J. and executive producer at “Studio 54 Radio,” at Sirius XM “You had this woman moaning and groaning, like she was having an orgasm. And it went on forever. But no one seemed to mind. You’d just play that record and turn the lights off. Seventeen minutes was enough time to fulfill a lot of fantasies.”
Patricia Field, clothing designer and stylist “Her music embodied that era. Dancing and drugs, it all went together like a beautiful salad. I was never that heavy a drug . But poppers I used to enjoy when I was on the dance floor shooting for the stars. I was having a mad love affair with a woman named Dorothy that lasted a year and a half. We’d go to 12 West together and dance and get lost. We loved ‘Love to Love You Baby.’ ”
Liz Rosenberg, publicist to Madonna, Cher, Stevie Nicks and, briefly, Donna Summer “Donna Summer was it. I went to Paradise Garage, the Loft and the Flamingo. Only gay clubs. The music was always better and you always heard Donna Summer. She also put on phenomenal live shows. The show I very well was the Greek Theater in L.A. They had this street lamp setup, and all these people who worked around Donna came out in outfits and did ‘Bad Girls’ like they were hookers. It was a big industry audience and it just went insane. I knew at that moment I was at something historic. I could only equate it to Bette Midler in of those out-there concert extravaganzas.”
Bette Midler “I was working at the [Continental] Baths and we heard this magical voice. It was ‘Love to Love You Baby,’ and you knew that something was in the air, that something was going to change. It was so revolutionary. It was quite provocative, really outrageous, this gigantic production, fantastic production. It wasn’t thoughtful. It was sexual.”
Stephen Burrows, fashion designer, Studio 54 regular “People would be on the balcony at Studio 54 actually doing it while that song was playing.”
Joel Schumacher, film director “I was doing a lot of speed. We were all out of our minds. Sweat and Speedos and Donna Summer and gorgeous beauty and being wrecked out of our brains. That’s what it was all about.” -
As almost bloody usual, the label and runout does NOT match any existing here. I've noticed this HUGELY disproportionate to Black artists (no, I'm not Black) They almost F'n NEVER match! My label layout is very similar to one here and the deadwax is right, but the address on the bottom text is different.

I have a german seventies copy with LC 0121, came in a Pricecode Y sleeve! This is not in here!
Don't know if sleeve fits to label, any infos on that press? -
Donna Summer's first album was truly ahead of her time, it is one of the best songs off the entire album. 17 minutes of moans, and everything else in-between.
I would also recommend, A Love Trilogy, Four Seasons of Love,I Remeber Yesterday,Bad Girls, Once Upon a Time, She Works Hard for the Money.
So, I would recommend this album to anyone who is truly a Donna Summer fan.
Donna Summer is a wonderful performer, she has excellent producers: Giorgio Moroder, A fantastic producer, and also a great keyboard& synthesizer player.
