Decription = Artist, Titles, Dates.

Hooked on Classics was a series of record albums first introduced in 1981,
toward the end of the disco era's peak in popularity.

Louis Clark, former arranger for Electric Light Orchestra, conducted the Royal
Philharmonic Orchestra playing a collection of very recognizable extracts from
classical music pieces played over a continuous beat (sometimes an overtly disco
fast beat, sometimes a slower and more subtle rhythm) which linked the segments
together.

The first cut of the initial album was a very successful single, reaching Number
2 on the UK singles chart and Number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in
late-1981/early-1982. At least two more "Hooked on Classics" albums were produced
by Louis Clark in 1982 and 1983, as well some other "Hooked on..." albums on
subjects such as swing music. The series was still running as late as 1988, when
"Hooked On House" placed classical music extracts against a synthesised bassline
and house music-style drum pattern. In 1989, the orchestra released "Mixed Up
Classics", dropping the "Hooked On..." name but recognisably continuing the same
style of medley.
