"Going to a Disco" is an electro-funk-dance song[1] written by Lynsey de Paul and Mike Moran,[2][3][4] and released as the duo's second penned single for Martyn Ford[5][6] on Mountain Records (catalog number TOP30), released on the 12 August 1977 in the UK and Europe.[7] This was the first Mountain label single to be distributed by Phonogram[8] and had the characteristic moulded plastic label.[9] The recording was produced by Ford and John Punter,[10] and was the follow-up release to Ford's UK hit single, "Let Your Body Go Downtown". It was also released as a 12 inch single with the catalog number "MOUNT 1".[11] The record received generally good reviews in the music as well as the mainstream press, with the Kent Evening News music correspondent writing "follow-up to the funk single Let Your Body Go Downtown and should provide another hit for the orchestra".[12] It recently received plays at Seven by Seven, an open decks vinyl playing club based in Leeds, U.K.[13]
