Outer space woman…
la belle epoque - miss broadway (mp3)
herman’s rocket - space woman (mp3)
picked up ‘miss hollywood’ earlier today from my local cancer research boutique. my la belle epoque knowledge is pretty minimal - it means ‘the beautiful era’ in french - but any sleeve that has the words ‘discoteca’ on the front will always grab my attention…
released in 1977, its a mid tempo disco affair with husky vocals, violin freak outs and a chugging bass line. one thing that did come to mind though, it sounds suspiciously like ’space woman’ by herman’s rocket circa 1978…
herman’s rocket were an italian space disco outfit, produced by j.p massiera. most of you will probably know ’space woman’ after it appeared under the venus gang guise on one of those cosmic dancer bootlegs. on their galactic soul lp, they did a rip off version of the o jays ‘for the love of money’ - another one maybe. you decide…

Silver Convention’s “Fly Robin Fly”. same chug, same strings, same melody.

schoolsy added these pithy words on Jul 16 07 at 1:10 pmi have got an album by silver convention called ‘discotheque vol 2′, but it is average at best. never heard the ‘fly robin fly’ track, but it’s ace, i am especially digging some of those intense disco moves they pull off. one for the must find list i think…cheers
