SAIFAM Italy Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Delegation is a British soul, funk, and disco band known for their success across Europe, though they remained relatively under the radar in the U.S. Formed in 1975 by Jamaican singer Ricky Bailey, the group's music quickly gained traction with their first single, 'The Promise of Love' and follow up 'Where Is the Love We Used to Know' became a hit in Britain. Despite frequent lineup changes, Bailey was a consistent member throughout as the band recorded much of their music in London, including their popular Eau de Vie album in 1979. The band continued to evolve until the early 1990s and put out new music back in 20121. This is a comprehensive Best Of across two sides of coloured vinyl.

Review: The joyously catchy Italo disco gem 'Scusa Ma Ti Amo' is the third single by celebrated Italian showgirl, actress, presenter, and singer Patrizia Pellegrino. It was originally released in 1983 when she was at the height of her powers and success and is a cult classic for those who know. Now, for the first time, it's being reissued in this new edition on limited edition, numbered black vinyl 7" records, with only 300 copies available, so do not sleep on this steamy disco dazzler.

Review: Tantra II, the fourth album by Tantra, showcases the band's electric fusion of disco, funk, and electronic elements. The recording sessions were helmed by producer Celso Valli, and the record was initially unveiled in 1982 to great acclaim. The album takes the form of two extended jams, one on each side, with funk, Italo, Balearic, cosmic and more all influencing the extended dance floor jams. Now it is reissued for the first time ever on vinyl so gets the full treatment with a pressing on nice heavyweight 180g wax and is presented in a limited edition run of just 300 copies.
