Fleetwood Mac related disco

[usagi-san]

I think most people, including myself, would not associate any of the styles of this history of Fleetwood Mac with disco. When the British team of Stock, Aitken & Waterman were having big success in the late 1980s, especially with Kylie Minogue, there was a hit they produced by the Reynolds Girls "I'd Rather Jack" that included "I'd rather jack than Fleetwood Mac".

Years ago I bought an album, Jeremy Spencer's "Flee", from 1979, for 50 cents. He was a member until 1971. I filed it away and never listened to it. Finally I listened and read the bios included today. I was wishing I could play side 1 of it for a bunch of disco fans and ask them to guess who it is. The songs, "Deeper", "Sunshine" and "Love Our Way Outta Here" are all disco, especially the latter, despite its quick bits of electric guitar several times. The bio says "Side One is the group's unabashed foray into the dancing pulse of 1979-with production shared by Spencer, Fogarty and discomasters Silvio Tancredi and Atlantic's own Issy Sanchez. "Love Our Way Outta Here" is described as a rock-disco blend.

Does anyone know what else Silvio and Issy have been involved with?

Some other disco projects Silvio Tancredi and Israel Sanchez were involved in are:

WONDER BAND (Atlantic ATCO 1979)

SIMBORA ORCHESTRA (Atlantic 1978)

First off, they are great people.

Silvio was involved in some way with a project signed to Warner Italy called Bravo. They had a single on the Launch label called "Touch Me Now" in the States in the 80's

Izzy has been involved as one of the legendary promotion kings of the 70's and as far as I know was still in the business.

Fleetwood Mac--disco ? I think "Stand Back" and "Edge of Seventeen" by Stevie Nicks, "Big Love" & "Trouble" by Lindsey Buckingham and "Go Your Own Way" by the band themsleves (with the former being more pure than the latter) could be their disco contributions. Shame on SAW, but a clever lyric

Ex FM guitar player Bob Welch also had a couple of disco-rock hits, namely "Ebony eyes" and "Three hearts" (circa 1978-79).
