billy woost may not have released much music back in his heyday around 1977, but the one album he did put together was enough to secure a place in the crosshairs of the consummate italian groove archivists, best italy. picking up the finest jams from woost s back catalogue, we re presented with a three tracker dripping with classic disco charm. -body, body love- comes in a previously unreleased disco form that cruises at an easy pace but packs plenty of punch, while -please touch me- edges the intensity up with a steamy set of strings, brass and vocals. -sleep- meanwhile taps into a blockheads kind of funk, bright and bouncy and just a little left of centre, which of course makes it all the more special.

man face is a disco afro studio project from 1977, from the musicians duo winston alwyn gill and henderson brathwaite from sounth africa but recorded in italy during the disco era. now rediscovered by early sounds recordings in conjunction with best record italy. early sounds recordings owner pellegrino delivers an additional remix and overdub with the new na na na edit plus the remastered original disco version available on the flip

its coming out on best italy, so you know you re in for a rarified treat from the dusty archives of pan european music. on this occasion the unstoppable reissue label has its disco hat on, serving up the raw cosmic funk of oro, recorded in naples and originally released in 1977. back then, this crucial cut was confined to a short 7inch edit, but best have pulled the stops out to track down the master tapes and execute a thorough remastering job on the full-length versions, now pressed to 12inch for your long-playing, disc-spinning pleasure. its a good thing these tracks came back into circulation they capture the best of the late 70s era in a cool, downright funky style that never gets old.

as well as all the jazz and funk, best italy are also dab hands at digging out italo disco gems that pretty much qualify as proto house jams for their heavy spinning by the seminal chicago djs like ron hardy. this essential transmission from amnesie is a fine case in point, a one hit wonder originally released in 1983 appropriately enough on proto records. now turas makes a welcome return, sounding resplendent in both vocal and instrumental versions, but the real treat for the dedicated diggers is the previously unreleased dub version mixed by legendary dj tony carrasco. thats the jam that will have eclectic spinners getting in a lather.

official remastered limited edition of a huge italo boogie from 1983. the plus on this release is represented by the b-side filled up with an unreleased instrumental dub version to give you even more options for dropping this essential classic !

giorgio gordano and giorgio dolce originally produced kkk back in 1983, and the track was taken into the hearts of the blossoming balearic scene hovering around dj alfredo at amnesia. its as gentle and sweet natured as italo disco can be, and of course it makes perfect sense that best records would dig it out of the archives and give it the shiny new reissue it deserves. the club mix of kkk is a feast of simple, charming programmed melodies and crisp drum machine rhythms with the innocence of the early 80s in its heart. the dub mix and bonus beats on the flip are handy for the technical djs out there, but the club mix is where it s at for the lovers.

when the one o ones originally released radio cosmo disco back in 1977 it was confined to 7inch, which is no place for such majestic cosmic groove exploration. now best records are continuing their quest to repress every hidden gem of italian dance music and beyond, and they re doing radio cosmo 101 the right way. the full disco version of the track gets to stretch out on a full 12inch side, and does so in a dreamy haze of feel good funk. you can still hear the radio edit on the flip, and the original instrumental jam is included for those who want to drift away on those sumptuous tones of the backing track.

official limited edition reissue of asso s italo masterpiece from 1983. featuring -do it again-, a killer balearic disco-style cover of the steely dan classic. on the flip side you get the wonderful boogie jazz-funker -don t stop-, a track which is pure blissed-out dancefloor heaven and deservedly became a loft and garage classic as well as receiving heavy rotation on both the cosmic and balearic scenes. with the coolest of laid-back jazzy piano grooves underpinned with driving funky squelching bass and superb syncopated drums.

this new release from best record italy contains for the first time the 3 tracks edited and mixed by john jellybean benitez between 1981 and 1982 of the italo disco songs by kasso (the pseudonym used by claudio simonetti) who became a classic in the underground house music scene of n.y. and chicago!

another limited edition remastered official reissue of one of the classic boogie song now very rare and sought after coming from the legendary delirium records now handled by best record italy.

the latest dig from best record italy s eternal mission to release the finest roman musical manna features noted jazz man pino presti taking on manu dibango s eternal party jam soul makossa. presti s interpretation uses oodles of gleaming 80s synths in place of the original traditional instrumentation, but fear not as the iconic brass section remains a real-world force, and sounds mighty fresh with it. following up that cover is a sumptuous version of aint no sunshine which is aimed square at the heartstrings of the most balearic cruisers. i call your name / come back to me gets even smoother, the vocals capturing mediterranean getaway romance to perfection

best italy continues to do a wonderful job of unearthing much-sought after gems and giving them the re-press they deserve. lily ann was a quintessential one hit wonder of italo disco perfection that surfaced in 1984, and -going crazy- captures the mood of early 80s dance music perfectly. adding value to the release beyond the fresh mastering job and high-end modern pressing, as well as the previously released vocal and instrumental we also get treated to a dub mix of -going crazy- to give you even more options for dropping this impeccable slice of italian dance music history.

once more scouring the annals of disco history for the hottest jams, best look beyond italy and snap up this much-vaunted slice of american funk from 1982. while second hand prices can get out of control, it s not hard to hear why this glittering prize from jagg would be so coveted - it s got everything. jazz-leaning slap bass, mean synthesizer chops and soaring vocals - -take time- is prime to set the party off, and no longer is it the preserve of wealthy collectors. originally a single-sided affair, best have done the right thing and filled the b-side up with an extended version to let that groove roll on even longer.

baricentro is an italian funk-rock band founded in 1976 by two brothers francesco and vanni boccuzzi, after the release of two albums in mid seventies (sconcerto and trusciant) for the major record company emi they recorded in 1983 the single tittle tattle representing a clear innovation in sound from their past, without believing that would receive a positive response in the new york city underground music scene and soon becoming a paradise garage and loft classic. best record italy today came out with this special reissue-project as a limited edition ep, remastered from the original master tapes and containing for the first time all the versions from 1983 and 84 including the unreleased dub that was previously available as an acetate cut only for deejay play.

best records own luminary claudio casalini was at the helm for this one-shot studio project that captures italo disco at its most exuberant and organic. originally released in 1984, the bassline on -stop your lies- is a quintessential slice of synthetic throb from a golden era, but the electronic elements are wonderfully offset by rich instrumentation and a brilliantly camp vocal performance from the unnamed boy-girl combo. the vocal mix on the a side is strong enough for a single-sided cut, but the instrumental on the flip widens out the reach of the record and really lets casalini s superb production shine through

with the grupo almendra album fresh out of the gates, italian label best records jump right back in with a crucial slice of disco funk from noted arranger, producer and karate expert pino presti. -you know the way- is a slinky party starter with on-point slap bass, lively brass and sumptuous philly strings of the highest order. as if the original wasn t funky enough, the b-side features a disco remix from dearly departed new york disco legend tee scott, who subtly buffs up the dancefloor potential of the track to devastating effect.

ltds repress best record italy take the time machine all the way back to 1979 to revisit the wonderful italo-disco delights of adolf stern, whose -more... i like it- represents the strangest end of the genre as it was taking shape. with heavily processed vocals injecting some serious strangeness into the chirpy disco backdrop, it s the kind of track to turn heads without a doubt. -twenty seven- on the b-side is equally magical in its capturing of the era, with the more obvious surface elements underpinned by a truly intoxicating line in synth arpeggios. once again best comes up trumps refreshing the history of italian music of all shapes and sizes.

roberto lodola is one of the first italian deejay and producers devoted to the afro and balearic sound from the early eighties and still active in the north side of italy. best record has rediscovered his first studio project from 1986 marimba do mar with the precious addiction of two outtakes: feeling of the sun and hey george!. four essential songs for everyone involved in the balearic genre, now very hard to find but finally reissued as a remastered limited edition!
