Who is Randy Wiper?

Who is Randy Wiper? I really don't know. Nor do I know who his producer Ruler was. But the Trash records 1984 italo disco release by Randy Wiper is called I'd Like to Know. It's one of those unknown gems on a tiny label.

He's certainly swarthy, whoever he is!

INSANELY RARE VOCODER FUNK the pinch SHOT OUT

A limited edition 7" inch single on a small Texas label called Spider-Mo Records has become a highly collectible record. Shot Out by the pinch is a Electro vocoder romp.
GRAB IT
I don't go on much about my Vocoder fascination but it is one of my passions. It's featured on lots of classic Funk, Italo and Electro records that I'm fond of.

Maybe it reminds me of Peter Frampton. I loved his talk box vocals when I was in Elementary school. But not long after my passion turned toward disco.

The 12" single is a re-press and is not collectible like the original 7" single.

HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN by HOT r.s. is a HOT disco re-make

There were tons of disco re-makes. Some were schlock and some really hit it on the nail. I guess because so much material was released in such a short period of time it was hard to constantly come up with completely new songs.

A faceless band from Johannesburg, South Africa came up with a 14 minute+ disco remake masterpiece with their cover of The Animals single from 1964 The House of The Rising Sun.

Hot R.S. and this 1977 disco 12" went on to become one of the most collectible and hard to find releases of the entire disco era.

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.
