Che bellezza! There are two songs on this album that I have been playing to death in the last 15 years: Festa Di Mare and Sexy Tango. Whilst giving up on cheekily keeping this one secret from you (and the insta-recyclers ;) I realized there are a lot more lovely tunes than just these two heaven sent songs I ripped immediately after finding it. Among these Computerino and Ti Ricordo Ancora are my faves

What a record! Balearic Funk and sleazy grooves. It actually goes deeper and is a little more laid back than her famous self titled from 1980 (see below). Don't MISS!

Format: 7"
Label: Ariola

Year: 1979

Condition: NM/VG+  

It's all about the B-Side here. An unbelievable tune somewhere between Jazz-Funk and AOR Mediterrania. The only record he ever made and unfortunately never turns up ... almost never ;) Maybe it's just a promo thing that flopped so they didn't go into pressing a lot of copies?

Some clever dudes labelled this as prog on discogs hoping for the italian prog collector to be trapped. It's far away from being progressive - actually its pretty corny. But it has these moments and that very special moment lasting for 3 minutes and then some. Proper Psych Funk made in Italy!

Progressive italian singer songwriter pop spiced with jazzy and organic flavours. Check that incredible beast of a track called La Voglia Di ... (transl. "the desire to...") it sounds as if it's a fratello of Toni Esposito's Rosso Napoletano.

Lucio made so many fantastic records. Una Donna Per Amico is no exception. Prendila Cosi is the outstanding track here. Maybe even my fave among all his beauties. A massive track that sounds like it was sampled by Carl Craig for his wonderful remix of Incognito's Out Of The Storm
