04 - I Wanna Be That Woman (12'' Version) (5.14)  1988
05 - Pink Cadillac (Hot Tracks Remix) [Bonus] (7.48)  1988

In the mid-1980s Natalie Cole recorded "Pink Cadillac" at the suggestion of producer Dennis Lambert; Cole recalls: "I thought to myself, 'I'm too old to be doing this kind of stuff'" "but then I'd never worked with anyone quite like Dennis before. He was very passionate about his work [and] his enthusiasm gave me the confidence that I could pull [the song] off." The track was intended for an album release on the Modern label; that project was canceled and Cole's "Pink Cadillac" and another Lambert production: "I Live For Your Love", were picked up by EMI-Manhattan Records to appear on Cole's 1987 album Everlasting.

 "Pink Cadillac" was released as that album's third single in March 1988, returning Cole to the Top Ten for the first time since 1978 in April 1988 to ascend to a #5 peak - matching Cole's previous Pop chart best with "I've Got Love on My Mind" - that May.

Cole's "Pink Cadillac" also reached #9 R&B, #16 A/C and - via a remix by David Cole and Robert Clivilles - #1 on Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart.

According to Cole, "word got back" to her that Bruce Springsteen "thought it was very cool that a woman could [sing "Pink Cadillac"] and it would come out so great".

BRONSKI BEAT "Rainbow Nation (Album) 1995 Euro Disco Eurobeat Hi-NRG Mixes CD "OUT-OF-PRINT" RARE! "Hard-To-Find" Album


zyx records / RPM dance (south africa)
-
Bronski Beat - "Rainbow Nation" 1995.
After a groundbreaking, truly revolutionary debut album, 1984's THE AGE OF CONSENT, Scotland's Bronski Beat went through a period of turmoil occasioned by the abrupt departure of singer Jimmy Somerville, who formed the even more explicitly political Communards. Replacing Somerville with the much less distinctive singer John Jon, Bronski Beat released a few more albums in a less confrontational Hi-NRG dance style.

After several years of inactivity, Bronski Beat returned rather unexpectedly with 1995's RAINBOW NATION, a thumping dance album with skittering sequencers, booming bass, and all the classic characteristics of Giorgio Moroder-influenced Eurodisco. They even cover the disco-diva classic "I Love the Nightlife" in an unabashed celebration of their dance floor roots. Somewhat more surprisingly, the trio also cover themselves, recasting THE AGE OF CONSENT's "Why" into a dance floor prayer, as well as a new euro dance version of
"Hit That Perfect Beat"
Personnel: Jonathan Hellyer (vocals); F. Serra (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, programming, background vocals); Steve Bronski (acoustic guitar, keyboards, programming, background vocals); Stefano Menato (saxophone); Ian Donaldson (keyboards, programming).

DEN HARROW "Best Of (Greatest Hits)" CD 1990 Italo Disco Eurobeat 80's

Italo Disco Eurobeat 80's
-
Den Harrow is an Italian new wave project which was especially popular in the '80s. Stefano Zandri (born on June 4, 1962 in Nova Milanese, Italy) a fashion model from Milan, Italy was chosen to be the frontman of Den Harrow.

After years of fame and popularity, it was revealed both by the frontman of Den Harrow Stefano Zandri and the producers that Stefano Zandri did not actually sing his own songs; he was essentially a character who lip-synched to vocals produced by a number of other Italo singers. And since they did not consider Zandri's name and origin to be trendy enough, the producers R. Turatti and M. Chieregato concealed Zandri's true Italian origins by inventing a fictitious English based last name Manuel Stefano Carry as well as U.S. based birth place Boston, Massachusetts, U.S. to be able for Polydor Records to market him more easily in English speaking world where Italian produced music was, at the time, viewed with skepticism.[1]
Most of the songs for Den Harrow project were sung by an American vocalist Tom Hooker (aka Thomas Barbey, who was residing in Italy during the Italo-Disco era), including Europe-wide hit singles "Don't Break My Heart", "Bad Boy", "Catch the Fox", and "Future Brain". Another vocalist, Anthony James from England, was contracted to sing the lead vocals on the Lies album released in 1988, who also provided the lead vocals on songs like "Holiday Night", "My Time", "You have a way". During an interview, Tom Hooker explains why it was decided to be done this way:
There was a small problem, however. He couldn't sing. So the solution was to never let him sing, or to put his voice so low in the mix that it was non existent. He started as an image. He would work on his costumes and clothes and someone else would sing on the records. The truth is, vision is a more developed sense in humans than hearing. People tend to buy and listen what they like to see.
Also according to Tom Hooker, in the very beginning Chuck Rolando's voice was used in the singles "To Meet Me" and "A Taste of Love". Later on, Silver Pozzoli was chosen to do the single "Mad Desire"; however, Hooker also provided the vocals for the album releases of "Mad Desire". Even though, Tom Hooker continued co-writing tracks for Den Harrow project, producers felt to bring in another vocalist into the studio with a much higher voice than that of Hooker's for the 1988 album called Lies. According to Tom Hooker; however, Stefano Zandri has sung on his 1991 single Ocean.

MAN To MAN feat Paul Zone "Man To Man" (Hits Album) Hi-Nrg Eurobeat 1988 zyx records 80's "OUT-OF-PRINT" CD RARE!

Hi-Nrg Eurobeat zyx records 80's
Man 2 Man (also known as Man to Man) were an American Hi-NRG band from New York City, that formed in the early 1980s. They were best known for their hit singles "Male Stripper", "Energy is Eurobeat" and "I Need A Man".

Under this name the band scored their biggest hit, "Male Stripper", teaming up with cult electro producer Man Parrish. Originally released in the United Kingdom in 1986 on the Bolts Records label, "Male Stripper" was a big club hit throughout the autumn and peaked at #64 on the UK Singles Chart.[1] In early 1987, "Male Stripper" charted again in the UK, and this time the song became an even bigger hit, spending five weeks in the Top 10 and two weeks at #4.[2] This success was barely seen by group member Miki Zone, who had died of spinal meningitis caused by AIDS on December 31, 1986.
Due to the death of Miki, Paul Zone decided to rename the act Man to Man and recorded a follow-up single. The record was a cover version of the Grace Jones hit "I Need A Man", which charted at #43 on the UK chart.[3] Paul Zone continued recording under this name into the 1990s, working with producers such as Jacques Morali.
