DONNA SUMMER gained prominence during the 1970s disco era, propelled by her incessant and creative driving force behind the genre’s global popularity, rightly earning the title “Queen Of Disco” and becoming one of the most successful recording artists of the entire decade, ultimately selling more than 130 million units worldwide.

 Newly compiled for 1st time on Vinyl for RSD 2024, “Many States Of Independence” showcases eight of this monumental track’s most popular remixes from 1982, 1990 and 1996 on this special RSD release.

Produced by Quincy Jones, written by Jon Anderson & Vangelis

The single reached the UK Top 20 on two separate occasions and has had 15 official remixes between 1982 and 1996.
