This news appeared in the local newspaper, a first for disco-related artists. But was Shocking Blue really disco? What year was this?

"Venus" is from 1969 and "Inkpot" from 1972. I never considered them as dancetracks, maybe those sites are focusing on the Bananarama-release.

Mariska was such a great singer with that special erotic voice and she was a very kind and warm person. She was from Hungarian/German descendance:
