Latest purchases...

[FunkyChris]

Well, I'm preparing for Christmas ;-)

Today I ordered a CD called "Xmas Disco Party" - Non-Stop Yuletide Boogie, which contains the songs of "The Mistletoe Disco Band"

and I ordered the Constellation Orchestra LP

[Magnifique]

Latest purchases (this week):

Pedro Marin "Diamonds" (cd album, Spain, 2006) -- Cover versions of Amanda Lear hits. Most of the tracks are updated radio edits and remixes and were taken from the albums "I am a photograph," "Sweet Revenge," "Never Trust A Pretty Face," and "Diamonds for Breakfast." The "normal" radio versions are better than the remixes - IMO of course.

I LOVE 80's DANCE -- (cd compilation, 2006, various HI NRG tracks from the 80's) I bought it for "The Visitors" by Moonstone because I didn't have this track on cd; I've got the Nightmare 12" though.

TIFFANY "Dust Off And Dance" (cd album, 2006) -- 11 tracks including her new take on her old smash hit "I Think We're Alone Now." Could have been better. I do not like this cd. There's one track on it which is worth the purchase, it's the last track, track number 11: "Artificial Girlfriend" (Second Sun Remix)

FOREVER BOND (well, I bought this one last week). Great comp. From KLONE Records of course!!!

SHANADOO "My Samurai" (cd single, Germany)

Older singles which I didn't have. They arrived in the post this week:

Märy Kiani "100%" -- cd single, 7 tracks, UK

NONCHALANCE "Love Queen Boogie" (1978, Private Stock, England) Ordered it via a dealer in Quebec, Canada. Have the 7" version, but wanted the 12" version which runs 8:10 and is continued on side B (part 2).

The following arrivals were announced in the post:

ARABESQUE "Gatas De La Ciudad" (LP, late seventies/early eighties, South America release - rare!!!)

Mary Kiani "Sydney Sessions" (cd album, Australia)

Still waiting on the delivery of:

OBSESSION "Viva Viva" (ALMY cd5, UK).

Waiting for release date:

Essential Energise (Engergise Records, UK). I understand this album is to be released in the UK on or about Nov. 26th.

OK-I think that's enough for today.

The cover on that Jenny Kee single looks like she's just downed a bottle of sherry. It sure isn't very flattering.

I was living in Minneapolis and was friends with Walter McLean at Wide Angle when they were working on the Viola Wills record. Viola was married to a local boy at the time. I was at Wide Angle's record shop one day when Viola dropped in to check with Walter on the progress of Both Sides Now. Walter put on the latest tape and played it on the record store sound system. I rushed from the back of the store pleading for a copy, not knowing who the artist was or that my idol Viola Wills was right there across the counter from Walter. They were both pretty happy with my enthusiastic response and I was elated to actually meet Viola.

I was disappointed when she did not include the last verse but instead drifted into an unpleasant "I can feel you" trance thing. The song would have been an A+ if she would have done the whole song. Walter more recently told me that they had given her every opportunity to do the complete song but it was her decision. She was getting a bit weird about the demise of her career and her marriage. When the going gets tough, the divas get crazy.

(Months later I even got to have lunch with her at the Cafe Di Napoli - That was after her divorce from local boy Bob Ashmun when she was about to release These Things Happen which she felt was her recovery from divorce song)
