- Edited 9 years ago@My friend maxi-freak
IMO, "Two Italian Greatest Hits" initially it was used because
it sound more like an advertise slogan than a real alias or other form of fanciful name given to this project.
Then were given V. Dorrel - V. Dorrell - Valery D. for some 90s compilations all published by Discomagic or its sublabels.
Anyway, no problem for me.
In this way you've maybe correctly connected two more releases to the Lombardoni/Nicolosi project (I only suppose, but I haven't the records, never heard tracks, poor information on the images uploaded).
My opinion was that Lombardoni loved to play with fancy names because he was the publisher and the owner of Discomagic, whose sole purpose was to sell at all costs as best he could.
Nicolosi cares only music recordings, evidently leaving him to decide how promote their productions. - On this release, we can hear an absolutely fantastic clear voice of Dora Carofiglio.
In my opinion, an "must have" for Italo-Disco collectors.
Admit it, you love it all, the most beautiful voice of Italo-disco era. - Edited 9 years agoThe stories of Monica Stucchi and Novecento/Dora Carofiglio are well known, even those between who do not love italo disco.
V. Dorrel's project, in my opinion, was an alises invented in 90's by Novecento and Discomagic only for Lombardoni's labels group to produce the "official cover versions" of "The Night" and "Get Closer", in which Monica Stucchi never was involved because useless for the reasons that we know .
In 90's italodisco returned to live, Novecento were in Discomagic's staff and they prodeced some tracks for Lombardoni under their own name but also strange aliases prefering to use covers in place of originals which Discomagic didn't had the copyright rights to publish.
So I firmly believe that Monica Stucchi has nothing to do with V. Dorrel, not even as a performer, face or image. - Discomagic had Novecento under contract during that year: they published a greatest hits album and did several projects for the label, especially dance remixes. Dora provided vocals (Jackie Moore, Voice Of Afrika etc.) and in this case they released the two Valerie Dore hit singles and a double A side. Due to legal reasons they called this project with another very similar name (V. Dorrel). Obviously her voice was softer in the 80'sbvut it's definitely her. We can't call it a proper cover version, I'd say it's more an updated version but very similar to the original one. The only Discomagic release which contains the original version is the "Gold Dance Collection" where the artist is Valery.
- Edited 10 years agoThis remix of Valerie Dore's "The Night" copies the distinctive percussion pattern from Raze's "Break for Love". It sounds to me like the vocal is from an outtake or re-recording; it's very close, but not quite the same as the 1985 hit version. I suspect that the use of a different vocal, along with the "V. Dorrel" alias, were Lombardoni's way of releasing a "remix" (actually a cover version) without licensing the original recordings or paying royalties. Just a guess.
