Marky, the track by Miss Amanda Lear: Is it a special version or is it a special edit of the A-side from the album "Sweet Revenge"?

Are these too the original versions? If so, the people from Disky have improved their reputation.

Wow this cd sounds great! What is the web site adress to buy this CD! Cheers!

Man, if only they added "Groove Me" by Fern Kinney. The 12" also. That would be nice. :-?

This compilation just shows how it doesn't matter whether it's disco, hi-nrg or house, gay club music has always been fabulous & always will be!

Yikes!!! I found it at a record store here in LA. Is it not listed anywhere online???? I suppose someone would have added a link if it was--well it's from:

2005 Disky Communications Europe B.V.
P.O. Box 249
1620 AE Hoorn
The Netherlands

The number is CB 902719.

Don't know what else to tell ya...maybe it's too new for the online services???

Found mine in a record shop in the centre of Berlin (a chain but name escapes me) in the spring. They had a big pile of them for something like 6 Euro's. I brought it thinking that at that price it was great for what I fully expected to be just edits. Oh brother you should have seen my face when they turned out to be the full versions! Definately one of my buys of the year.

Ahaaa..... LOL! I found it but with another title...

I picked mine up in Montreal in July. Great selection of tracks, BUT....

Word of caution for the purists...

Some of the tracks, primarily the Jacques Fred Petrus productions (Macho, Revanche, Peter Jacques Band) but a few others as well, were recorded from vinyl! You can hear the vinyl hiss and some very very slight surface noise.

If you're like me, it's just great to have these full-length tracks on CD so I'm willing to overlook this music faux pas. :-)
