Mix/1979/Blue Vinyl!/For me her best Disco-
Record...)
-BLACK SCIENCE ORCH."Sunshine"(12"/Soul
Weekender Mix/2002/A new one, but sounds
so very original and ParaGarageLike)
-CERRONE"Give Me Love"(LP/"Cerrone III-
Supernature"/1977/A DiscoClassic and much
better than the SinclairRemixes)
-TINA CHARLES"I´ll Go Where The Music Takes
Me"(12"/Special Disco Version/Finally I
have this version.../1977)
-CHOCOLAT´S"Orfeu Negro"(LP/"Rhytmo Tropical

1977/This one is still a classic for me
and has been released on Unidisc)
-ALEC R.COSTANDINOS"Trocadero Lemon Bleu"
(12"/Vocal Version/1978/A fantastic song
but too short for my taste!)
-JOHN DAVIS & THE MONSTER ORCHESTRA"Bourgie,
Bourgie"(12"/Long V./1979/A fantastic track
from Ashford & Simpson, but this version is
the best!)
-EL COCO"Cocomotion Part 1 & 2"(LP/1978/AVI/
This track is one of the most known tracks
here in Europe from EL COCO)
-GENE FARROW"Don´t Stop Now"(12"/Ext.Disco
Version/1978/This track sounds very happy
and mediterean...)
-FRAT CAT DISCO BAND"Come On Girls And Shake
Your Pom Pom"(12"/Q-Mix/1978/Another kind
of a dancable Disco-Joke, but for me so
typical american!/AVI Records)
-LAMA"Love On The Rocks"(12"/Remix/1983/
This one is produced by KatMandu, but very
cool Disco with a touch of NRG)
-PARADISE EXPRESS"Poinciana"(12"/Long V./
1978/Yellow Vinyl!/A very beautiful tropical
DiscoTrack!!!)
-RICE & BEANS ORCHESTRA"You´ve Got Magic"
(LP/"Crossover"/1977/T.K./Real beautiful!)
-RITCHIE FAMILY"Summer Dance"(LP/"African
Queens"/1977)
-DIANA ROSS"No One Gets The Price/The Boss"
(12"/Medley/Long Version/1979/Motown/This
one is in Europe very rare and expensive)
-SILVER CONVENTION"Summernights"(LP/"Summer-
nights"/1977/Feat. again with Rhonda Heath
and a little bit more funky! but with lots
of genial EuroKitsch!)
-DONNA SUMMER"Summer Fever"(LP/"Four Seasons
Of Love"/1976)
-LOVE UNLIMITED ORCHESTRA"My Sweet Summer

I am interested to know what's you think it is worth!! How many copies do you think there were shipped to Europe??

I didn't know too many trax this week, but I loved the El Coco and Paradise Express tunes!!

I have not heard the version of Bourgie Bourgie by John Davis. Sounds interesting!

Take care

Dear Ruoffended!
Linda´s "From Now On" is originally on her
LP called"Linda" from 1977. The Unidisc-12"
is certainly a re-issue, but more dynamic.

Dear jazz_pilgrim!
I think there was a big difference between
England, France and the rest of Europe.
For example I´ve never heard of a remix
from Diana´s "No one.../The Boss" as 12"...
but this is Austria and for getting real
deeper into DiscoSound I was a little bit
too young...
The disco-craze began really with this
"SNF"-Movie and later I discovered true Disco
with "TGIF"!!!

There was a 12" version of No-on Get The Prize on a recent anthology album released in the States. I have heard it and it is not that different to the album version, just a little longer.

I have the No-one/Boss mix but can't remember where from. It is on the US Rhino Billboard Dance Hits from 1979 too

Sirius,

How did I forget that one? Have it as well and the B side is the same mix as the white label promo. It's on Motown #M 00035P1.
