– This is proto-post-disco. The slap bass is so tactile you can almost see the fretboard. The 192kHz capture preserves the transient snap of the finger pluck without any digital harshness. The Verdict: A Reference Test for Your System If you buy a high-end DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) and you don't play Bad Girls at 24/192, you are wasting your money.

But have you really heard it?

I recently got my hands on a 24-bit/192kHz FLAC rip of the 1979 Casablanca Records original. Putting on a good pair of cans and listening to this master tape transfer isn’t just listening to an album. It’s stepping into the room where the 20th century’s last great dance revolution collided with gritty, street-level reality. By 1979, Donna Summer was the undisputed Queen. But she was bored of the orchestral lushness of Love to Love You Baby . She wanted grit. She wanted the sound of Sunset Boulevard after midnight—the hookers, the rollerskating waitresses, the pimps in Trans-Ams. The Verdict: A Reference Test for Your System

Donna Summer is often filed under "Pop" or "Disco." But Bad Girls is a masterpiece of sonic engineering. It is loud, lewd, and beautiful. It is the sound of polyester burning in the hot California sun.
