Vinyl records are like ancient books... that smell... I don't sell any item from my collection. I don't provide/trade/sell digitized files, unless there's an issue with the release I own that can't be resolved without them. Call on me for any missing info on releases I own (images, matrix-info, etc.). I had a big beef with Discogs v4, and still think the data on Discogs should be as exact as possible and not of 'varying integrity' (or whatever nik used to call it), both towards the physical release AND the artists. IMO elaborate Submission Notes + readable images are the most reliable key to identifying a release and checking the submission's integrity; no submission should go without really... | |

Gruppo Sportivo - Hey Girl - 14-Feb-08 06:37 PM
"Hey Girl" was one of Gruppo Sportivo's highest-ever hitting singles taken from the album "Back To 78". Although the album contains many songs artistically superior, "Hey Girl" had hit-potential; probably mainly due to the lyrics relating so well to male AND female adolescent concern in a funny, introspective manner:
`She said: "Sorry, but its over"... You can't stay with me no more.`
`You gotta give me one more chance... I've got a rocket in my pants... I want... someone like you.`
Despite the fact that Hans Vandenburg has composed far more interesting material —shallow as it is— this song is quite intelligently written both musically and lyrically; generating an energy that easily survived 30 years, and probably will for ever... providing Rock & Roll & Ska are the roots of popular music, and people appreciate silly word-benders like:
`She said: "Your nose is running honey". I said: "Sorry, but it's snot."`
Hey-ho Silver!

A substantial amount of the tracks on this album was used in the soundtrack of the Australian movie 'Malcolm' [Nadia Tass, 1986].
The almost naively exploring character of the compositions highly sustain the atmosphere of the movie; one of the best movie-soundtracks I know. If you don't like the music -which is unheard of- at least see the movie...
AC/DC - Whole Lotta Rosie / Dog Eat Dog - 05-Jan-07 03:19 AM
Although technically not very spectacular, and hardly perfect, "Whole Lotta Rosie" by "AC/DC" is probably the most utterly Hard Rock song ever performed.
Of course for the guitar-riff in the first 4 bars that everyone immediately recognizes, but especially for the lead guitar starting a discussion with the rest of the band at 2'50", lasting until the very the last second (half the song that is) and the lead guitar has the last word ...of course.
