The "V" Project (featuring K.O. & Extra Specials) - Black Jack (1986)
Originally released 1977(http://www.discogs.com/Baciotti-Black-Jack/release/484879)
This '86 cover is a little more melancholic and electronic sounding. Still the original was an amazing record for 1977.
I heard the 86 version before I knew about the 77 release, and interpreted the lyrics as documenting a young mans entry into the NY scene, with all it's pitfalls and dangers. But in '77, in Italy, who knows what it was about.
The rip is recorded at -8, adds about a minute to the original length. Speed it up if you have a mp3 thingy, but I like my nrg waaaaaaaay slower.

Cerrone - Where Are You Now
This is how all Kim Wilde songs should sound ;-) Ah Cerrone, you've done it again!!!
It's recorded a bit slower than the recommended '45', but there aren't many that would get up to dance in front of this blog!
So please stay seated...

Klein and MBO - Wonderful (Disco Dub-Mix)
B side of the promo, a "Disco Dub-Mix"; Sounds like live mixing, starting/stopping all the old din-sync'd Roland gear, you can hear the tracks being punched in and out.

Sweet Melodies
What i love about these mp3 blogs is that they often make me go back and listen again to a record I haven't looked at for years. Over at innersounds, Linda Clifford - Hold Me Close did just that, and I got stuck on sweet melodies.
This pic is the gatefold sleeve opened up.

- ITALO SLEAZE
- Welcome to the home of dead and dying stars. Laying to rest records that clear the floor and drain the bar, these awkward, far from perfect b sides, nrg also rans and synthy italo singalongs all have a common bond. Dramatically pulled from the piles of vinyl that never quite made it to the party, you can still hear an electric heart beating. (ellt.flwr at g mail) The above was written when I started this blog. Numbers have dwindled. Everything is on UTUBE. I, however, continue undaunted. Now the tunes are ones that I am listening to currently, no theme or reason. Italosleaze, can't change that. But still the 'ethos' remains...let the ears do the talking. Cheers. And I have to say a big Thanks (THANKS) to diepvries. You know. It all seemed so innocent back then.
