Suggest some italo, hi-nrg full albums

[SiliconDreamer]

What are some good full albums? Not compilations or greatest hits, but original albums. Thanks, it seems like it's really hard to find any full albums at all, so I want to know what to spend my time looking for lol.


Here's the list compiled from the replies below:

Italo and Hi-NRG Artists with Full Studio Albums
Fancy - Contact, Flames of Love
The Flirts
Roni Griffith
Oh Romeo
Hazell Dean
Mandy Smith
Dead or Alive - Youthquake, Mad, Bad & Dangerous to Know, etc
Lime
Silicon Dream - Time Machine

If you thought '70s Disco was singles driven then you'll quickly see that most Italo, Hi-NRG and Euro from the '80s were by artists who would put out only one or two songs.

Fancy out of Germany had some good material. Most of their songs were written by Anthony Monn. Fancy's albums "Contact" and "Flames of Love" are especially recommended. Here's a listing of Fancy on this site: Fancy @ DiscoMusic.com

Pretty sure other members can follow up with other recommendations.

Sylvester put out a few hi-nrg albums from '82-'87. Bobby O's acts such as The Flirts, Roni Griffith & Oh Romeo released decent hi-nrg albums too. Of course, my personal faves are the SAW albums such as Dead Or Alive, Hazell Dean & Mandy Smith. Oh & don't forget (Marky's fave!) the Lime albums.

You're so right... Man, how did I forget Dead or Alive and Lime!

Thanks Bernie and SandraDee. That's right, it's doubly hard to find the albums because most of them were singles artists, and italo was underground then and now really underground (which is why I like it).

I guess I don't totally understand what "italo" means. If it means albums recorded completely or partially in Italy, then the Jacques Fred Petrus/Mauro Malavasi productions of Change/the Peter Jacques Band/The B.B. and Q. Band/Macho and others would definitely be my favorites.
