POST SOME OF YOUR FAVOURITE!

I added some more songs above.I'll add more favourites in the future

Italo disco is hard to find here in greece.I have almost all the "I love disco diamonds series" by blanco y negro,some combilations by zyx(with the most known italo hits)and there are some "best of" from zyx too:

Lian Ross-Best of and more is a nice compilation.(zyx)
savage greatest hits(2cd)is also good compilation.(zyx)
Best of scotch-disco band is a good compilation too,and it has the penguin invasion instrumental which i like very much.(zyx)
Hypnosis from zyx records is great,with some nice covers on pulstar,droid,oxygene.(zyx)

The best of Den Harrow (baby records) is also a nice cd,with nice sound quality(italo productions suck in that regard)

Also,if you have access to some stores with rare italo disco Lp's,check the folowing:

Alice's Wonderland-Stop the rain:It's a wonderful song,just check it on you tube.Very Rare.

Paciscopy-Love's harmony: amazing melody,very emotional,almost makes me cry.This is rare too.

New Look-stage:you can find it also on cd either as a single(zyx records),or in the "i love disco diamonds series no 44"

Recollection-John Yellow: not so well known as his other hits,but great music.You can also find it on cd as a single(zyx)

Satisfaction,love and passion-duke lake is a great italo song,hard to find(look for vinyl)

shot in the night/i'am alive-Saphir,two f......g good songs!

It's also worth looking at some michael cretu productions:moti special-don't be so shy/cold days hot nights(you can find a gratest hits,check it out),avenue-imagination.

I would recomment to try to listen to the complete "I love disco diamonds series" by blanco negro.You can find many good songs there,and some rare ones.
Although i don't like many of the songs in that collections,they had some rare tracks i was searching for which i couldn't find elsewhere on cd.

If you want to get some compilations with the most well known italo tracks,check the italo disco compilations by zyx records,although there are many with almost the same tracklisting so check it out on the internet.

And be sure to check for some "best of" from zyx records,(you can find from other companies too,it's just more difficult)and for lp's if you can find a store which have rare italo disco/euro disco and 80's disco hits.

The bad thing with the italo disco is that it's difficult to find some great songs all in a few compilations,i had to buy numerous cd's to find the tracks i was looking for.And note that when we talk about this music,we mostly search for compilations or singles because full albums were not so usual then.

double post

Hey,it's nice you like this music,Konakona.

I know that Roberto Zanneti(savage)was responsible for some nice songs in the 90's(don't you want me,Alexia,Ice mc etc)and i like many 90's dance hits,haddaway,La bouche,culture beat,2 unlimited,real mcoy,snap,londonbeat to name some band/artists.
Are these eurobeat as you mentioned?
