An example of merciless editing

"Don't buy this album. Every track is edited to its shortest version possible. The album is useless for all those DJ's probably wanting to include some italo disco classics on their sets. Even for the ordinary listener and for those who want to get a snapshot of 80's eurobeat this album could be really disappointing because of the absolute merciless editing. Some of the songs here were entirely created for the club and DJ scene, so never had a real radio version. Probably, the editing here is even worse than radio editing.

Instead of this I recommend the "World Of Italo Dance" compilation by ZYX Records and, even better, the huge "I love disco" series by the Spanish label Blanco Y Negro, which features complete and 12" extended versions.



Here you have some examples of cruel editing:



P. Lion / Happy Children / 3:40

Koto / Jabdah / 3:36

Sandy Marton / People From Ibiza / 3:48

Laserdance / Humanoid Invasion / 3:20



See what I mean? Don't buy this album

"As a kid, I stay up late to hear and record radio mixes of these Disco classics. I did not know the artist or the title but I love the beat and the melody. Now, I can experience again the great music that spun from the Italo Disco scene and search on line for the Artist bio and another hard to find Disco hits.



These are a list of songs that I like the most

(not in any particular order).

Fly to Me

Happy Station

Hey Hey Guy

Lover to Lover

Lady Fantasy

Pulstar

Touch Me

Dolce Vita

Happy World

Don't Wake me Up

People from Ibiza



Its' a great CD since it brings together a variety of Artists and the price, I spend ten bucks.
