Alec R. Costandinos

Romeo & Juliet (12") - (Alec R. Costandinos and the Syncophonic Orchestra)

RECORD LABEL / RELEASE INFO:

Casablanca Records (US) / 1978 / NBD 20111 DJ
12" Disco Single 33 1/3 rpm vinyl record - Promo

STUDIO CREDITS:

Producer(s) : Alec R. Costandinos

TRACKLISTING:

Side A
Romeo & Juliet (13:45)

Side B
(Blank single-sided record)

NOTES:

"Romeo and Juliet" is perhaps Alec R. Costandinos' best known work. It's a Disco rendition of Romeo & Juliet that just about everyone has heard and loved since 1978. If you are new to his music then you are in for a treat. While you are at it check out Alec Costandinos' other studio works like Love and Kisses . . .

Featured here is the one sided promo 12" single which is a little different than the "Romeo and Juliet" LP version. You really need to get both since the LP contains Acts I-IV. Original pressings of the LP contained the lyrics in English and Old English.

While the entire LP of Romeo & Juliet is not on CD a single version is available on compact disc . Also, some past releases have his last name spelled incorrectly as "Constandinos" instead of Costandinos.

So what became of Alec R. Costandinos? From our discussions, he said that he is now married and still involved with music. He also has made many award winning commercials for Perrier. . . Not a bad life, huh? Enjoy the music.

Actually, the complete Romeo & Juliet was released on a now out-of-print CD by Unidisc in the late 80s as part of "Love & Kisses / Alec Constandinos (sic) 'Greatest Hits'" (Unidisc SPLK2-8000)

I got my copy new in 1992, and I'm glad I never got rid of this disc, because it's next to impossible to find now. It also includes "I've Found Love (Now That I Have Found You)," "How Much, How Much I Love You," and a truncated version of "Accidental Lover."

WOW, this was HUGE. A pure DISCO CLASSIC. It could be one of those records that might be the BEST DISCO SONG ever!! Every one who enjoyed DISCO knows this song. they probably requested it at least once in their times during their DISCO going seventies. Personally, it was great, but wasn't made for mixing. It had breaks, and intros, and could be re-mixed, but it wasn't designed for deejay mixing. Still it gets a very strong TEN on my scale from 1-10.
