The Era Of The Disco In 70s

I still remember those days in 1978 when Saturday Night Fever movie was screen in Penang.The movie was screened at one of my favourite english movie cinema call REX at Burmah Road.I still recall in order to secure myself for the ticket to the show i have to took the "Yellow Bus" from my place in Jelutong in the morning all the way to Prangin Road which at present is PranginMall Shopping Complex now.Then from the bus terminal i have to walk passed another Cinema call Capitol cinema .The distance was about 10 minutes walking time.Those day traffic less.I have to be there before the Advance Ticket counter open at 10am.Usually in old days when cinema was the main entertainment, there sure to be long peoples queuing for the Advance Ticket.I have even skipped my school that day to go for the advance booking for the ticket to the show.The cinema seat was been classed then.With the upstair call as "Reserved Class".As for the downstair...they were been seperate into another three classes.There were...1st Class(Furthest from screen)2nd Class(Center)and the 3rd Class(Almost to the front of the screen).As for the price will be as follow.Reserved Class-RM2.00 1st.Class-RM1.40 2nd.Class-RM2.00 and the 3rd.Class-RM0.65.As i was a student then i always go for 2nd Class or 3rd Class sometime if i got more pocket money from my parent then i shall go for 1st.Class(Ansd also the dating of girls out time too...lol in order not too loose face...lol) But after that will have to tight waist for days,,,,hehehehe.Total i watched 5 times that movie(Saturday Night Fever)for i loved the movie very much and also need to watch it repeatly in order to learn some of the dance move by John travolta(as Tony Monero in the film).At the same time too disco was starting to be the "IN Stuff" then.Many Discotheque sprawling all over this small Penang Island.Some of the famous to name a few are...Hollywood East(basement of Hotel Malaysia),Club Tomorrow(Basement of Hotel Merlin(now Citybayview Hotel),Skyroom(at the top floor at Hotel Malaysia)The Chequer(later became Jockey Pub at Tanjong Tokong) and many more.Anyway to those who knew more of the discotheque in Penang that time can share with us here by posting them at the comment box.Anyway there are so much to write on disco era then.i can't just finish writting all here.Just some of my memory for that era i am posting and sharing here.
