Various - Touch Of Class N.1 Compilation flac mp3 download

Be it said this comp is the one and only medium where to find the fantastic original version "Give Me A Dance" (A3). The release on 2015 with Flashback Records is nothing but a re-arranged version plus a bonus and is much less exquisite. This said it is really a pity indeed this production mutilated all these sparkling gems this way.To top it all A7 and B7 play more an "outro" part here with their very short duration than each "normal" 2'30 track. And if you plan to order Riccelli when available, well, start saving money right now!...

It's not a compilation, more like a mix record. Mixed very poorly.So shame the tracks have been shortened. :(Fantastic tracklist though. Ester's "Edelweiss" is a stunning track. Hell, we need the full version!!!

This record is an absolute treasure. A few of unreleased tracks on this one rip just as hard as Riccelli, Laura Angel & Giusy Dej, and all the tracks stand on their own as excellent, underground Italo Disco. I'll go over the exclusive tracks in order:A2 kicks the record into dance mode and features upbeat, anthemic female vocals which are very nicely layered. This is one of the standout tracks on the record.A5 is a strangely-arpeggiated fusion of minimal techno and Italo with downright filthy vocoded vocals chanting "this is a bosom break" over and over again. A7 is the same track as the B-side on Fabio Xeno's 7". B2 is probably my favorite of the unreleased material. It's a beautiful, slow-burning, falsetto-laden ballad that has a lot more in common with Diux's 'Comet' (albeit with a much lower production value) than it does with Nobel's other work. It's a major drag that there is no known full version of this song, and crafting an extended edit of the material contained here seems quite difficult.B5 is a new-wave track with a nice break containing live bass. However, I'd argue that it's the weakest track on the album.B6 was apparently released as a 7" but this was the first time I'd heard it. It has a sound very similar to A1 and B1 but a bit faster. I'd guess that the same people were responsible for all three songs. Overall this is an excellent album. While a 1:1 repress would probably not be the best idea (the tracks are all cut off after 2 minutes or so), I'd strongly support a tasteful remixing of A2 and B2 pressed alongside extended edits of B3 and B7. Let's make it happen, people!

one of the better compilations with obscure and amazing tracks! Italo forever! :)

As mentioned, an amazing and very special record due to the super obscure and high quality italo-disco pieces contained.Some you can see on discogs exist as individual records such as Jan Demis, Xeno, Laura Angel... all on 'Disco In' catalog.The others are still to be discovered, were never released, or simply lost to the sands of time.It should be said, each track only plays approx 2.5 minutes and although not mixed, the tracks play continuously without interval.

10 stars out of 5...amazing!

This record is very special ,i Wanna thanks cris, peetneet ,Dennis thanks for sharing this one
