4. Disco Blood (3:36) [M. Smith / P. Ricks]
A horror-styled disco LP in a similar style to Hot Blood's "Disco Dracula" LP. The tracks are all segued together in a medley on each side.
This record's singers are quite clearly from the continent (to my ears they sound German), which in places make this record unintentionally funny. For a start they sing about "Desko blood" throughout the title track, but the funniest part is in "Oba oba macumba", where the vampire often sounds like a German Austin Powers!
"Let me kiss you!"
"Are you licking my neck?"
"Keep still, you're gonna like it!"
"What you doing?"
"Quite, quite, become quite!" (sic)
----SCREAM-----
----Dracula-style laugh----
"Now you know who I am! I am the VAMPIRE!
I guess you've gotta hear it to appreciate it...

YOUR REVIEWS & COMMENTS
My pressing indicates this to be of Brazilian origin.
I have that Lp, in fact that track ''OBA OBA MACUMBA'' is very sexy and intense, but the part where he declares that he is a vampire + the laughs is a turn off, other then that it's a great track, i think i will try to make myself a re-edit, RU !
One thing my Lp is on red vinyl, does it relate to blood ???
"Disco Blood" was released in '77 on a 12" on 'Building Records' out of Brazil, with Part II instrumental...
You'll never be heard if you don't post...
