Styloo
I was so sure that I had already written about Pretty Face. I can't believe it. It was one of those italo disco tracks that I was never able to get out of my head. Even when I wouldn't hear it for years on end.
It was of course Styloo's debut single from 1983. They never were able to come up with a better follow-up though Why from 1986 isn't bad so I included it in your zip.
A COUPLE GREAT ITALO DISCO TRACKS

Giorgio Spagna was Cyber People
Giorgio Spagna was also Mike Cannon among other projects.
Likely his most well known italo disco release was the breezy Polaris. Which also happened to be the first release under that name in 1984. There were several follow-ups and even an album and the all had varying degrees of dance-floor success.Monday, September 12, 2016
Debbie Jacobs wants your love
Baltimore native Debbie Jacobs only released two albums but after that she had a few successful dance singles. Her best tune is the disco classic Don't You Want My Love from her debut l.p. in 1979. Ironically it was a b side that took off and overshadowed the A side of her maxi single.
She originally worked with the sassy Paul Sabu.
Her singles released as Debbie Jacobs Rock were more on the Hi Nrg tip and definitely less successful their her initial splash as a disco singer. But her version of Maybe This Time from 1982 was the definitive one at The Saint (you can grab one on Discogs for a mere $500). Unfortunately it ended up not being officially released and was only to be found on a very limited release promo only single. I wrote about this a few years ago and you can check that out by using the search function up above.

A WLIR & WDRE NEW WAVE CLASSIC OF ALL CLASSICS...MINISTRY...WORK FOR LOVE
Posted again with a refreshed link
MINISTRY TUNES
Al Jourgensen hates this album. I think it's Ministry's best. Their first single was released on seminal punk and new wave and industrial label Wax Trax. By 1983 they were signed to Arista and With Sympathy was released. Apparently they remixed and changed the l.p. in several ways before it was released.
Here's a picture of us at The Saint. It was during a Lene Lovich concert at a PETA benefit on a Friday night.
