Disco Deutschland

[JussiK]

Bernie was spot-on with his text about the new cd realese "Disco Deutschland Disco". It's indeed great that the first hidden gems of the Krautdisco kind have finally been made globally available - mindbending schlager stuff, big budget orchestral workouts and bits and pieces of mondo bizarro, plus some favourites. Supermax, Ganymed, Amanda Lear and Munich Machine we all know and apparently Alfie Khan did have his lp out in America, and they had Su Kramer there too. However, the likes of the outlandish "Sex World" by Berry Lipman and anything the fab Peter Thomas Sound Orchestra must have been more difficult to obtain, not to mention Marianne Rosenberg. Mr Videoskooter has kindly put some visuals of the acts on display, check them out. And do grab the cd NOW before it's too late!

Thanks for the info :icon_biggrin:

5 days until release.

I must confess that I haven't heard most of them :icon_redface:

BUT, Supermax is an Austrian.

[Videoskooter]

Well, the cd has Wieder Zusammen by Marianne Rosenberg - the same singer Mr Scooter provided a clip of! Different track but same chick. The hairdo on Fraulein Rosenberg is very Now.

[Videoskooter]

That Mr. Skooter is a great guy you know, he just found the appropriate stuff

Wieder zusammen! Jussi, du und ich :icon_lol: There's no clip yet from this 1976 song but here's the tune:



BTW, Bernie!!!! OUR HERO IS ON IT!!!!

I Can't Move No Mountains 3:23 James Last 1975

Amazon delivered today :icon_mrgreen:

Nice collection that can easily compete with Disco Spectrum

Amazon-U.S. | Amazon-U.K.

[Videoskooter]

I think I'm gonna need a 2nd copy of this compil coz' it almost hasn't left my player!!

The real Discovery on this cd is:

Disco Cisco 4:09 Carsten Bohn's Bandstand

Never heard that 1 before but this stays in your head!

And he's still performing BTW:

Welcome To Carsten Bohn

SAMPLE

[markydefad]

I only saw the vinyl 2 record set on this and bought it; problem was they put 2 copies of the first record in the sleeve--so I returned it and got the cd version--which was actually cheaper!!! Haven't really listened to the whole thing--just wanted to hear the Su Kramer. :icon_redface:

[Videoskooter]

Pushing this thread back up! My wife (yep she's German) found this today in a second hand shop. I never heard it before, I didn't even know it existed!

Udo Jürgens is a German crooner (best know for his millionseller "Merci") but he apparently jumped on the D-Bandwagon too!

"Ich Weiss Was Ich Will (I Know What I want)", not bad at all!

I bought the vinyl set when this was released, as well. And was very happy to find it pressed on bright-white vinyl. The sound quality's excellent, too.

BUT, Supermax is an Austrian.

Ganymed are Austrian too. Austria always gets lumped in with Germany doesn't it? I s'pose it's all teutonic isn't it?

[Videoskooter]

The CD-set is indeed highly recommendable!

Except the Su Kramer, which sounds rather distorted to my ears. Too bad, it's the best thing on the set.

[JussiK]

I got an original German copy of the Su Kramer track and the sound quality is very poor. I wonder if the tune got released in the US or somewhere else in a better form?

I believe yes, on London Records....it was released on London in Canada as well...one question is that there was a 12" mix that was longer, but nobody seems to have it on any compilation...I would if it was a splice job somewhere and not an actual mix ? Hmmm

Ever heard the original German version? That's my favourite, not the English 1!

All 'n' all, I believe it's time to make a Belgian Disco Compilation!!! :icon_razz:

Anyone any suggestions. This country has many unsung heroes...

• Jean Kluger
• Jack Donder
• Jean-Luc Drion
• Guy De Lo
• Lou Deprijck
• Eddie De Gucht
• and many many more...

Check out their productions;

• Two Man Sound
• Patrick Hernandez
• Night School
• Plastic Betrand
• Amadeo

I have one more thing to add...

Que tal America?

:icon_biggrin:

Yep, but as for a lot of things we are vastly underrated

Speaking of Disco Deutshland (Amazon-U.S. | Amazon-U.K.) however, somebody just tipped this to me. The track is by Joy Fleming, Disco-ish, okay, but the interesting fact in this vid is that the backing vocals you see are the "Birds Of Paris".

[STEPHEN L FREEMAN]

The track is by Joy Fleming...

OMG! Thank you for this!

I'd always wondered exactly who Joy Fleming was???
All I've known was "The Final Thing" LP she did with Pete Bellotte. Who's US pressing has an anonymous female, under satin sheets, on the cover.

Also, on that LP, she did the original version of "I Only Wanna Get Up And Dance". Which was covered, with huge success, by The Raes, about a year later.
