Love is just a breath away (Suzanne) by Les McKeown

Ordinarily I wouldn't post a song that I don't like.  But I can't resist with this one.  I was such a huge Bay City Rollers fan.  The thought that Les McKeown would have solo releases on the italo disco tip is just too fab not to resist.

The Scotsman first solo single was in 1979.  This track Love is Just a Breath Away was his third or fourth 12" single release coming out in 1988.  The first was called Shall I Do it in 1979, dig the off the shoulder look on the 12" cover! And those boots to boot!  What was the label thinking?  Who did they hire as the stylist Liberace!

Apparently Les had a very hard time.  Who wouldn't when you sold millions and millions of records in one of the biggest boy bands of the 70's and then all the success comes to a halt? Listen to Les

Talking to the Night by Brian Ice

Brian Ice's Talking to the Night is a solid example of vocal italo disco.  Released in 1985 on MeMix records it also later received the Swedish remix treatment.  Brian Ice Zip

In the zip we even have a 1999 take on it. His real name is Fabio Rizzolo and he has used several aliases including: Kenzo and as a group A-Beat Boys, ABeatC All Stars, Fun Four.

Robot with a Rose by Biss

Here's an extremely rare and unusual italo disco number.  It was released in 1982 on Dischi International Records.  Don't have much to say about it but the more of this kind of music I find the more I will feel joy in my life.

Robot with a Rose is quirky and it's oh so right.

Party Let's Party Oxygen

Here's a funky disco number from 1981.  Certainly not an easy one to find, it's on Etcetera Records.  Did they even have any other releases? oxygen zip

The label based out of Cherry Hill, New Jersey actually did have a few other releases.  But very few at that.
