Their best known 12" was the infectious Don Quichotte. I had a really great time dancing to it. My best friend at the time was a girl from L.A. and it was one of her favorites from the underground clubs she used to frequent there. Clubs with names like Power Tool at rotating locations long before anyone was speaking about raves.

I think it was quite fun how they featured a theme, with Pancho Villa being another one of their fun Latin themed dance releases.

NARADA MICHAEL WALDEN'S BOOGIE HOLY GRAIL

Before Narada Michael Walden became the hugely successful Producer of Whitney Houston among others he was a member of the jazz group Weather Report. He also scored a disco hit with I don't Want Nobody Else in 1978.

His 1980 Promo only 12" I Want You is a boogie holy grail. It is both scarce and mighty. Not one of his best known efforts.

TEE SCOTT's BOOGIE MASTERPIECE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF LOVE by KARIN JONES

GROOVE ON DOWN low quality mp3


Better Days star DJ Tee Scott remixed many of my favorites. But Karin Jones Under the Influence has to be right up there among my very favorites.


The 1982 12 inch disco remix on Handshake is a highly coveted slab of vinyl. But in this case the full album is even more sought out. In fact the Dunn Pearson Jr. (of classic Red Greg Groove on Down fame), arranged gem was even re-pressed in 2005 on cd. Eddie Levert of The O'Jays even provides backing vocals on one of the tracks.

UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF LOVE

LUCIO BATTISTI DISCO NUMBERS

He was most popular during the seventies when politically conscious music was big in Italy. Hell the commies were about to take over when Aldo Moro was kidnapped and later killed by the "brigada rosso." Not the best move since this Christian Democrat politician was doing a lot to comprise with the Italian Communists, but hey this isn't a political blog now is it?







This zip contians two of his most famous songs Ancora Tu and il Veliero which I think contain more then a bit of the disco beat to them and were both released in 1976.


The other download features a recent edit of Questo Amore.

He died of cancer in 1998 and compilations of his career's work have been selling like hot cakes in Italy and around Europe ever since.
