This last compilation album of the Disco Not Disco series was compiled by Last Night a DJ Saved My Life co-author Bill Brewster and Strut Records owner and founder Quinton Scott.^[1]

The album contains a 1981 proto-techno track "Sharevari" by A Number of Names.

Critical reception

Andy Kellman of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars, he said that "considering the timing and context, the disc is every bit as replayable as the second volume."^[1] While Andy Battaglia of Stylus Magazine gave the album 6.2 from 10, saying that "the original impulse behind Disco Not Disco was monumental, but that same monumentality eats away at the new third volume of the series, which arrives on the other side of a revolution whose most important battles have already been fought and won."^[2]
