Thanks Guys!
Frayo, if you ever manage to get back on the hub, you HAVE to check out my folders - I've got tons & tons of disco.

Here's a couple obscure ones for you white suit types:

I've mentioned Black Devil in a couple other threads - but I can't stop talking about them. They were a one-shot studio creation out of Italy from 1979. As far as I can tell, it was one of the first records to use looped vocals. The sound is very un-disco & very much like the colder/darker synth wave stuff from the 80's. I can't imagine they got much play in the discos, but it's cool stuff!
Black Devil - We Never Fly Away Again
http://beta.yousendit.com/transfer.php? ... 8835D84944

Here's another rare one - Benelux With Nancy D. - Switch
http://beta.yousendit.com/transfer.php? ... 1A53ADC9C1

I think this is the same Benelux who did a bunch of really nice remixes for techno groups (Transformer2's Pacific Symphony & 2Fabiola's The Milkyway.) I love how Nancy D. says "Swwwwwwwitch" Nice song & "Mary Ann" introducing herself at the beginning cracks me up "I AM Mary Anne"...phonetics at their best! That's why I love disco - so cheesy, so euro-trash.

Since you liked that Linda Clifford song, here's another - which is a little closer to her usual funkier style of music.
Don't Give It Up
http://download.yousendit.com/218EC09D7F413C60


Here's another bizarro one. Amanda Lear appeared on one of Roxy Music's early album covers, allegedly when she was Bryan Ferry's girlfriend. She aspired to become singer, but unfortunatly, Amanda's very deep voice, and heavy german accent left something to be desired. So, what's a girl to do? Pose nude in a bunch of magazines,cut some sleazy sounding disco tracks & tell everyone you were born a man! That's another reason I love disco - it even had a place for a woman who claimed to be transexual (but wasn't,) and sounded like she just took a handful of quaaludes & drank a gallon of Wild Turkey. "Follow Me" is from her second album in which she sings most of it from the Devil's point of view.

Amanda Lear - Follow Me
http://download.yousendit.com/4A34D5824BB6864E

By the way, she cut a bunch of Italo & Hi-NRG songs in the 80's and supposedly is still releasing albums!

Whoa! I have the Amanda Lear song, but never knew that whole story behind it, now it just has so much more meaning, and camp behind it. Thanks WolverineSyr for that sordid little muzik lesson... She sounds like the Nico of Disco... [;)] [:p]

Here's a classic electrodisco or "space disco" toon:

Kebekelektrik - War Dance

http://s41.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3D92 ... BQOMRM9D2F

I guess you couldn't call this Italodisco or Eurodisco for that matter, even though kebekelktric is Gino Soccio, and he certainly has an Italian name, and is often mistaken as a European artist. In fact Gino is a French Canadian, who obviously resides in Quebec. This is a vinyl rip so I apologize about the snaps, crackles and pops...

I love Gino Soccio. Dancer is an awesome song - it has such a dark feel to it.

Thanks for the Kebekelektrik song - I never had that one!!

It also never occurred to me that Kebekelektrik was pronounced Quebec Electric....[:I]

Gino Soccio rocks! Who knew Quebec was a hotbed of the Disco Inferno. Speaking of froggie grooves, have you ever heard Poussez (pronounced poo-say, emphasis on the saaay). One of my favorite Disco outfits, excellent productions, and some of the earliest trax that used campy phrases like 'ooh la la' and 'ootchi kootchi', which house artists like Baby Ford would later create an entire track around. Here's a vinyl rip:

Poussez - You're All I Have

That track makes me physically ill... but I loved "Remember." It's like Visage's "Fade to Grey," only... you know... better.

"It's Alright" was OK, too.
