Be Mine Tonight Promise Circle another ISH production like Oxo or Company B.

Refreshed link by request
Ish is the ish.  Whatever his hands touched turned the project to magic.  From his initial years in Foxy to his fantastic solo single Don't Stop by Ish to projects where he only wrote or produced such as this freestyle classic Be Mine Tonight by Promise Circle, Whirly Girl by OXO or Company B.  The man knows how to make you dance.  GRAB SOME ISH
Be Mine Tonight is a perfect example of a song staying solid when a lot of others in it's genre had already gone cheesy.  Be Mine Tonight zip



I CAN'T GET ALONG WITHOUT YOU VANCE & SUZANNE

Refreshed links by request
I may be serving sacrilege but I don't get all the fuss.  As far as I can tell they are not particularly good vocalists even a tad bit out of tune.  But the bidders go on a frenzy for this one.  Yeah I know it's a rare labels that released hardly anything, sold hardly anything and was known by very few people at the time, but still....
For me it will never go down as one of my favorites.  I do like the snazzy instrumental a lot however.  I'd tend to say even more then the vocal version.
Even the arranger Richard V. Turner is only named on other record from what I can see and that's the 1985 single Looking in the Eyes of Love by McIver that I've never really seen before.  I would imagine Vanton Records had a few other releases but I don't know any.

There's a more recent edit called The Revenge Dub of The Vance and Suzanne that you can get on Beatport.
There are also re-issues going around so don't be fooled if you're one of those collectors that just has to have the original pressing.

Thinkin' of You by Boris Parker Italo Disco as Novelty Tune

I'm not absolutely crazy about this one.  But it's in the genre and fun.  It's also from 1983 the golden year of italo disco.



I absolutely love the cover graphic too.
UHU! UHU! HA! HA!
You'd have to consider this one an italo disco novelty tune.

Boris Parker is Mario Colonna.

Toledo Girl by Cosa Rosa Italo Disco Joy

A lot of the great italo disco tracks were on Many records.  Toledo Girl was simply a typical one.  Sounds like so many others.  But if you like the sound then you like the song.  Cosa Rosa - pink thing (at least under this name) had no other releases.
