Was just thinking, Italo stuff in the UK is really hard to find. does anyone else in the UK find this? I go record digging alot, and you just don't see it. Infact, old european import stuff in general is pretty hard to come by. This reduces us to specialist dealers/ebay/internet which is a bit of a shame as the prices are usually fairly high, and, more importantly it means you can't listen to stuff before you buy, reducing the chances of finding something 'new' or a bit different. Theres nothing better than being sat with a pile of records that are all 50p that you have no idea about what they are, on some old fella's battered record player and finding a bomb or two.. it also makes comps like this a real steal for us UK peeps. still, of course you guys overseas have the opposite I guess. we should start a co-op record pool.... I presume there was never a big italo scene here, therefore the records just never got imported in large numbers in the first place. Even funnier is the fact that when you see it, its usually U.S licensed copies of the bigger 'crossover' tracks like say, Klein & MBO who are on Greg Wilsons old playlists. it's almost as if it had to go all the way to america before it got here. I'm sure I'm missing something though, not sure that that is the case at all and I'd love to find out more about it. btw, Greg Wilson's site is a great read if you're interested in the early 80's uk club scene here in the north west http://www.electrofunkroots.co.uk/biog_menu.htm . anyway, I'm just rambling on. records, records, records, I'm obsessed. alex _________________________________________________________________ --------------------- End of message text -------------------- This e-mail is sent by the above named in their individual, non-business capacity and is not on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers.
