Please note: I will occasionally sell items from my collection to fund other purchases.
If you contact me about buying something please include the price you are offering.
If there is no item available in the marketplace, your offer should be close to the highest previously paid.
Sorry but for the moment I'm unable to provide recordings from my collection.
I'm not opposed to the idea (that music should be shared and enjoyed), just not enough time for this right now.
Thanks in advance not to contact me about this.

I think this is one record we can all agree... THANK GOD for the instrumental.
Vocal version is just an ok typical 80s track imo.. instrumental version (only on the Canadian 12") goes much deeper. As a side note Sizzle Records has to be one of my... See full review |

Rest In Peace Franco, thanks for all the music.
Going to play Fuerza Major extra loud today in your honour ❤️ |
|
The female "Hey Mister" vocal is inspired by Kissing The Pink - One Step, personally I love to hear these little connections and influences between UK Synth-pop and Italo-disco (along with the Chris Rea melody mentioned below).
Both records are awesome in their own... See full review |

Wonderful album I come back to again and again. This for me is like the ultimate "bar gig" record.
The fact I have played and heard it so many times, but can still enjoy it, is a testament to it's quality. |

The artist images for this page are nothing short of incredible.

[quote=MusicThatShapes] This is one of the times you see a super unknown LP mentioned in an IG post, with no purchase history, no samples, some cheap copies floating around and a gut feeling you need to buy fast. In just four hours after XY posted it,...

I can take or leave the a-side, but the b-side track "Interieur" is an incredible piece of music.
It's a shame the artist never released anything further. |

Heavily ..uhh, inspired by Aki - Magic Love from a couple of years earlier.
Incredible beach fashion on the cover, was this taken at Scheveningen? |
|
Found this by complete accident, but the sleeve design seems heavily inspired by the Sammy Barbot - Barbot L.P. LP from a couple of years earlier.

For me and I'm sure many others, this is nothing to do with the Den Harrow we know and love from the 80s (the comparison with Future Brain is borderline blasphemous).
But somehow I have to admit I was expecting this to be much worse. His voice isn't... See full review |

[quote=kosmikino] I can't wait for Opilec who have bought the rights to start reissuing some Bagarre - then we can begin a revisionary history of Italo-Disco and Bagarre can finally be seen as one of the most experimental and visionary of the...

a.t.e-records Not sure if you already found the answer but it's track B4 from Paolo Dossena - Tornado (Original Soundtrack) |

Most of this LP doesn't touch me too much but Short Wave Symphony is really beautiful ✨✨✨

Guys sorry to say but this is a €5 Italo-pop record, nothing to discover here (check youtube if you don't trust me, all tracks are there).
Better you take it back to Porta Portese next Sunday. Edit: I stand (somewhat) corrected, "Ghetto" is indeed a... See full review |

Rap on "OO Chak-A-Willie" could make even The 2 Live Crew blush.
PS no disrespect to the late Reenie Kane but I really miss an instrumental version of either track. |

AquaAcetate_Ash Both inspired by the great Hajime Sorayama, master of the erotic airbrush and surely one of the most "borrowed" modern artists. This one looks to... See full review |

[quote=vinylric] The version uploaded on YT by Mothball Rec. doesn't match the one here on the original and promo records as to the A-side. There have been no specifications thus far about this "extended" version by the Australian label. Please share...

Back in 2016 one of the guys in the Red Light Records store gave this to me for free since they had a box of them.
tbh I didn't even really want to take it because I had too many records to carry anyway and the music was not my taste at the... See full review |

Call me cynical but I don't remember Groove Armada showing any interest in Italo-disco during the previous 23 years of their career.

A HiNRG cover of Rod Stewart's 1978 classic produced by none other than Nick Straker should have been a no-brainer for weddings and trashy disco sets, but unfortunately it's ruined by a hideous vocal (present on both sides of the record).
Also with a... See full review |

Stunning cover painting: the Brooklyn Bridge held up by a pair of butterfly suspenders.
Beautifully realised by Enzo Mombrini, who did some of the most memorable Baby Records (2) sleeves. The song itself is just "ok" but has a slightly stronger instrumental version. |
|
One of the Italo classics I came to a bit late..
A great track in itself, but also interesting to me because I can hear elements of other songs (possibly) used as inspiration: ~ Vera (2) - Take Me To The Bridge ~ Baltimora - Tarzan Boy ~ Mike Francis - Survivor ~ Captain Sensible - Wot! or The Clash - Radio Clash Another... See full review |

Mouissie appeared out of nowhere to deliver one of the finest neo-trance tracks in recent years.
Short and sweet but hits so hard. |
|
Awesome and varied compilation which I come back to every few years.
Initially I think bought this because I loved the artwork (cover is slightly textured as well, though hard to see this in discogs pics). My favourite tracks here are "Bolnes 1" from... See full review |

The hideous ceramic dog foetus on the cover is really off-putting, but the tracks themselves are surprisingly good.
Without a doubt one of my most hated sleeves. |

Did Goody Music/Fulltime really censor the glowing crotch of the demon from the original sleeve..?
Yet seemingly fine with the bare ass of the leatherman on last year's reissue of the self-titled LP 🤔 PS not mad these are being reissued: they are... See full review |

According to the back sleeve they printed 10,000 copies of this!
I can't imagine it being a hot seller in 1988 so I really wonder what happened to them all. (Perhaps a trip to Scauri is required to know the answer). |

Beautiful compilation of the relatively unknown Italian wave group A.T.R.O.X., which I can't recommend highly enough.
I had always enjoyed the "Water Tales" LP but it wasn't until playing this comp repeatedly during lockdown at home that I realised... See full review |

daftcombo Thanks! I missed this art history class :) Great artwork and a fitting reference. |

Must be one of the greatest band names ever.. was ketamine popular in 1982??
I've definitely met a few aspiring horse doctors in recent years. Some incredible sounds on here also, quite a hypnotic listening experience. |

There's 3 different versions of Bagarre's great track "Dirty Love", on the original (and essential) Bagarre - Circus LP, on the underrated Bagarre - Epitaph LP .. and a bonus track on this record.
Before you buy this one, please note this is quite a strange version... See full review |
