Donna Summer: MacArthur Park (1978) Original

Description

A disco aria for neon nights, Donna Summer’s “MacArthur Park” turns Jimmy Webb’s orchestral epic into a climactic club lift. Moroder and Bellotte frame Summer’s towering vocal with precision rhythm section drive, bright strings, and layered chorus, the tension released in those sky-high refrains. This Japanese 45 on Casablanca captures the concise hit edit, crisp and radio-ready, with “Part 2” on the flip for DJs who want the instrumental release and breakdown feel. Issued in 1978 with a glossy picture sleeve and ¥600 price mark, catalog VIP-2663, it is a compact souvenir of the Live And More era when Summer’s voice ruled the floor and pop charts alike. The NM vinyl and clean sleeve make it a strong copy to file with your city-pop and disco 7-inch favorites, a two-sider that still glows under late-night lights.
