"Smooth Jazz Volume 3" offers meetings of the mind.......2000-09-28
Here's a good idea for a compilation: take some of today's hottest smooth jazz artists and highlight their collaborations with each other. The end result works well, treating us to the steadily-grooved-but-silky smooth "Mind Games" from Bob James and Boney James, the lush ballad "Mimosa" from guitarists George Benson and Earl Klugh, and the bright midtempo exercise "Strength in You" from saxmen Kirk Whalum and Gerald Albright. There's plenty of vocals onhand too, as Michael Franks and Brenda Russell team up for the sultry "When I Give My Love to You," and Randy Crawford and Al Jarreau offer up the finest reading of "Your Precious Love" since Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. Jarreau also joins saxophonist Boney James for the gorgeous ballad "I Still Dream," and the timeless Patti Austin/James Ingram chestnut "Baby Come to Me" gets dusted off as well.
Of course, some of the tracks don't fit the album's subtitle of "One on One": Randy Crawford teams up with both David Sanborn and Eric Clapton on one cut, and doesn't Fourplay plus Take 6 equal ten? Still, mathematical tecnicalities can't subtract from the appeal of Randy's "Knocking on Heaven's Door" or Fourplay's slowed-down-funk version of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground." In fact, all the adding you'll need here is thirteen tracks plus a stable of smooth jazz's finest equals over an hour of fine listening.
MISS HOOTON'S REVIEW SAY IT ALL (Hello Hootycop).......2000-09-19
WHAT MORE CAN BE ADDED TO THIS? AWSOME! Bravo!!!
Truly the Best of the Smooth Jazz series...., September 7, 2000 Reviewer: Carolyn J. Hooton from Sarasota, FL United States Before you listen to this CD, make sure your player is set on the "repeat" mode, because you'll want to hear it over and over again.... Bob James and Boney James start you out with their mellow piano and sax, soothing the tensions of the day... Snuggle down with the one you love and feel the warmth of Kirk Whalum's sax, and George Benson's smooth guitar...Have that box of tissues next to you when you here "Knockin On Heaven's Door" because the beautiful, but sad times of the '60's will wash over you... I have listened to smooth jazz for many years....but, Smooth Jazz Vol #3, is truly the Best of Smooth Jazz...If I could only have one CD in my collection....this would be the one.. Enjoy.. :)

Customer Reviews:
love to boogie.......2005-08-02
this cd is very good. this cd makes me want to BOOGIE. this cd is a wise investment.
Not as good as Volumes 1 & 2, but better than Volumes 4-7.......2005-04-05
Rhino had so much success with Volumes 1 & 2 of this series that they issued 4 more volumes in 1992. In my previous reviews for CD's in this series, I mentioned some disco songs that I wished had made it on previous volumes. The same holds true for these subsequent volumes. Most of the songs here are all great songs, but many of them I already had on the individual artists greatest hits compilations.
The 5 Star songs included here are:
1. Rock the Boat - The Hues Corporation (the first official disco record)
2. Get Down Tonight - KC & the Sunshine Band
3. I Love the Nightlife (Disco 'Round) - Alicia Bridges
4. Get Off - Foxy (the liner notes call this song annoying, but I love it and I also love this groups other hit from 1979, "Hot Number")
5. Macho Man - The Village People
6. Young Hearts Run Free - Candi Staton
7. Le Freak - Chic
8. We are Family - Sister Sledge
9. The Glow of Love - Change (featuring Luther Vandross on vocals)
10. Knock on Wood - Amii Stewart
11. Bad Girls - Donna Summer
The 3 Star songs(OK, but not great) included here are:
1. Boogie Fever - The Sylvers
2. Doctors Orders - Carol Douglas
3. Dancing Machine - Jackson 5
4. Love Machine - The Miracles
5. Dance (Disco Heat) - Sylvester
6. Hot Shot - Karen Young
The 1 Star song that could have been left off all together as far as I am concerned:
Soul Makossa - Manu Dibango
11 great songs, 6 good songs, and 1 dud is not bad for a compilation CD. Believe me, some of the later volumes get worse than this one. Recommended.
Get Down Tonight.......2004-05-16
Get Down Tonight, Get Off and Soul Makossa. I love all these songs. They stand the test of time. Donna Summer, Village People and Sylvester. The very best from the disco era. This is a must have collection for any true dance/ disco fan.
They Call It Boogie Fever.......1999-10-02
Again, Rhino dishes up more good disco from the 70's. Highlights include the favorites "Rock the Boat", "Get DOwn Tonight", "We Are Family" and "Bad Girls", as well as the not-as-often-encountered "Soul Makossa" and the rather mature (for disco anyway) "Young Hearts Run Free". A few of the tracks simply never did it for me - "Dancing Machine" sounds like a parody, and the liner notes don't lie when they call "Get Off" possibly one of the most annoying disco songs ever. In all, another good collection for you if you "want some ack-SHAWN."
Admirable Collection of Disco.......1998-07-01
Despite a few oddities, the bulk of this CD is disco and pop hits from 1974 - 80. It's not as comprehensive as volume one, but it does boast all-original versions and great sound.
Average customer rating:
- Awesome compilation of non-typical hits from the 1980's!
- Best of the Living in Oblivion Series
- Totally 80's Man
- Brilliant from Start to Finish
- If you valued the 80's, don't buy this compilation

Customer Reviews:
Awesome compilation of non-typical hits from the 1980's!.......2005-11-30
The Living In Oblivion series of CD compilations does something that many similar compilations do NOT do: they give us some great variety of "hits".
There is no doubt that "Mickey" by Toni Basil was a huge hit. There's also no doubt that "Our Lips are Sealed" was a break out hit for the Go Go's, but the Funboy Three version wasn't. But what about "Living in a Box"? It only hit the Billboard top 100 at #89 in 1987. So why is it here? Why are a large number of these songs? They're not top 10 hits, right?
Wrong!
I'm sick to death of so many compilations relying on top 40 hits from the 80's. The U.S. music tastes are typically very different from those of Europe. Just because a song doesn't make the U.S. Billboard top 40 doesn't mean that it isn't a hit in other countries. And although I'm an American, my music tastes have always run more in line with those of Europe.
I'm delighted that the Living in Oblivion series (and the Pop and Wave series) have incorporated a variety of hits from the U.S. and Europe.
I also like that some of the more obscure groups and their songs are available on these compilations. There are several songs on these albums that never were released on CD (as they hadn't come into being at the time of the groups' albums initial releases), so albums such as these are the only place where you can find these hits. The Boys Don't Cry song "I Wanna Be a Cowboy" hit the Billboard charts at #12 in 1986, but the group disappeared soon thereafter. Then all of a sudden a dance version of that same song came out in the early 2000's and rocketed up the dance charts.
Don't be misled, the Living in Oblivion series is one of the absolutely best series for a variety of music from the 80's. If you want to hear run of the mill, top 40 only hits from the 80's, well, then you'll just have to look elsewhere.
Also, the liner notes and pictures of the groups included in the jewel box are really clever. You get to find out what the chart position was for the songs in the compilation and see what the groups looked like at the time of the song's release. My only issue with these liner notes is that the author of them seems to be disparaging the very music which these albums are espousing. Apparently many believe that the music from the 80's was vacuous and devoid of emotion. One need only listen to the song "The Promise" by the group "When in Rome" (Living in Oblivion Volume 5) to know that such a statement is false. While that group only had this one hit and then faded into obscurity, "The Promise" made the Billboard Top 100 at #11 and the Billboard Dance Chart at #1.
Anyway... I can't recommend this album and its entire series any more! It's simply awesome! Before believing those who would disparage this series of albums, please check the Billboard charts and you'll see that these songs were in fact hits.
GET IT!
Best of the Living in Oblivion Series.......2004-11-13
I own all five Living In Oblivion discs and this one is the one I listen to the most. Just like all compilations, there are some songs that you can find on just about any '80s retrospective CD, but there are many good songs that are not on those other discs. These songs include the fantastic "It's My Life" by Talk Talk, "Hanging on a Heart Attack" by Device, "Are You Sure" by So, "What Do All the People Know" by The Monroes, and my personal favorite, "Life in a Northern Town" by The Dream Academy.
Every fan of the 1980s will find one disc more to their liking, but chances are that most of you who love 80s music will find several songs on this disc that you will like.
Totally 80's Man.......2004-09-13
Ok, just to make it clear, some people (ahem, some reviewers) clearly don't understand the point of the Living In Oblivion series. So far, in my listening experience, this CD has been the best one yet. With tracks of Single Hit bands and those rare songs that are just downright 80's, L.I.O. delivers a dose of the unique sounds of the eighties, and gives a splash of some of the era's greatest hits. This is what its all about.
Awesome Tracks:
Device - Hanging On a Heart Attack
Talk Talk - It's My Life
EBN-OZN - AEIOU Sometimes Y
So- Are You Sure
ABC- Poison Arrow
Rock On 80's Woo Hoo!
Brilliant from Start to Finish.......2002-04-14
Despite the complaints below, there are great songs here that, in fact, are hard to find elsewhere: AEIOU Sometimes Y, Hanging On a Heart Attack, Sidewalk Talk, Make a Circuit with Me, and Shattered Dreams. And that reviewer assumes that you already have the same discs as he does. Um, OK.
If you valued the 80's, don't buy this compilation.......1999-08-30
You'd think that an 80's anthology of music would understand that it caters to an audience which is nostalgic toward that decade.
I give this two stars only because you can't take away from the 80's music, but I figure that the inane commentary on the CD booklet should be calculated in this rating too. It was highly unnecessary and insulting to 80's fans to include disparaging remarks about the decade and banal political commentary by obvious leftist sympathizers.

Let's Do the Hustle...!!!.......2007-03-20
Get out your leisure suit, bell-bottom slacks, mood ring, and platform shoes and boogie to this collection of 1970's classic instrumentals!! If you are too young to have been part of this era, then just enjoy the funky sounds! This is a fun collection (one of a series). My other favorite is the "Surf' collection. Have fun and have a 1970's party....plug in your lava lamp....and have fun.
Quite a good choice of instrumental themes, but... No full versions included!.......2007-03-06
Hey Rhino compilation geniuses: What about including edited versions of Eumir Deodato's "Also Sprach Zharatustra", and MFSB's "The Sound of Philadelphia (TSOP)"???... C'mon...!!!!
Muzak this AIN'T.......2006-08-24
Sometimes ya need to have just MUSIC in the background -- no words. Fortunately these classics haven't lost their "touch," and this CD definitely fills the bill ! Found this CD the best when driving long distances & for getting through the drudgery of housecleaning.
Let get it on! It's time to get down!.......2005-12-29
This is a pretty cool compilation of instrumentals from the '70s. 12 of the 18 songs here were Top Ten hits, with the rest being minor hits. The title says "rock" instrumentals, but only a few of the songs are actually rock. There is more funk and disco than rock here. One of the odder trends of the '70s was dance/pop versions of classical instrumetals, and this CD has three examples of that. They are kind of cheesy, but fun. This is the weakest of the "Rock Instrumental Classics" CDs, but it's still very good, despite not including anything from later than 1976.
More Than I Bargained For.......2001-10-25
I bought this album for one reason only, to get "The Hustle" and "A Fifth of Beethoven". And frankly, those are the only tunes I recognized on this album. So when the first track, "Joy", began I was mildly surprised. Back in the 70's the only radio I listened to was easy listening and classic stations, the kind that had very few commercials and hardly ever announced the name of songs. "Joy" was one of those I remember as being loosely based on a Bach symphony, a nice bouncy tune that I liked. Already this album was more than I bargained for. The next track I remember was "TSOP", another one of those that I never knew the name of but enjoyed hearing.
"Also Sprach Zarathustra (2001)" was also based on a classical work (don't remember the composer) and which is better known as the theme to "2001 A Space Odyssy". It's okay as far as being a juiced up classical, but nothing spectacular. "Rock and Roll, Part 2" I also remember mostly as being played a lot at football games.
And then track 13, "Popcorn", started. I nearly fell out of my chair!!! This was a song that I absolutely fell in love with back in the 70's and never knew the name of. For the reason mentioned above, that the station I listened to never mentioned the song titles. But for a year or so I spent hours listening to the radio just to hear this one. After reading the insert I know that "Popcorn" was one of the moog hits from that era. Even after almost 30 years it stills takes my breath away.
The rest of the album isn't even worth a single star (IMHO), but that's just me. "Popcorn", "The Hustle", and "A Fifth of Beethoven" make this album well worth having.

ZYX loves Italo disco and Euro dance 80s!.......2007-03-13
One look at the box and it's obvious ZYX is trying to cash in on Blanco Y Negro's "I Love Disco Diamonds" compilations of 80s European dance and high energy. Good move, guys! This is a great series (I think they are up to 5?), with 3 discs of remastered 80s rarities per volume at a great price.
This brings a lot of hard-to-find songs to CD, and the remastered sound is an improvement over ZYX's shoddy past attempts, although I wouldn't say it's quite top-notch.
Also, they seem to devote the volumes to different labels, like legendary Disco Magic and Cruisin' Records.... great idea.
Get them all before they vanish, and may I suggest getting Blanco Y Negro's "Disco Diamond" series as well. Good job, guys!!!
Christopher's Italo Disco .......2006-06-12
Recently I purchased four excellent CD box sets entitled "ZYX Italo Disco Collection" volumes 2, 3, 4, and 5. That's eleven CDs containing 123 awesome tracks of pounding Italo/euro disco. When I threw these discs into my CD player a smile crossed my face as I was transported back in time to my college days in Richmond Virginia and Christopher's.
Christopher's was a wonderful neighborhood bar and grill where I spent many a night after a grueling day of classes. Christopher's wasn't a big place; to call it a hole in the wall would be being generous. Inside there were six or seven small tables that ringed the large wrap around windows of its façade. There were a couple of tall circular tables with tall bar stools in the middle of the floor. On the other side of those tables was the bar where the smiling friendly bartenders served up your favorite alcoholic (or non alcoholic) libations. At the right end of the bar you could always find someone playing at the electronic video games located there. Above the video games a television hung suspended from the ceiling. This television was always on showing music videos, sports events, classic movies, or the local news with the sound mute, so as not to compete with the pulsing Italo sounds. The burgers and fries Christopher's served were awesome and drew a lively crowd. The burgers were fat and juicy and the French fries with a zesty seasoning came served in a large basket. Like on the television show Cheers, Christopher's had its regulars. I too was a Christopher's regular, but not for the awesome burgers and fries, not for the camaraderie of the other regulars, and not for the libations; I was there for the music.
Christopher's played prerecorded non-stop continuous Italo and euro disco music. I would order me a basket of Christopher's slammin' fries, a frosty mug of ice-cold beer, grab me a seat and then kick back and listen to the music. At Christopher's you could hear all the gods of Italo/Euro disco; European acts that never emoted a single note on American radio could all be heard at Christopher's, acts like Sandra, Bad Boys Blue, Vivien Vee, Fancy, Fun Fun, London Boys, C.C. Catch, Sabrina, Paul Lekakis, Linda Jo Rizzo, and the band that some would call the Zeus of the Italo/Euro disco universe, Modern Talking.
As much as I love the major euro disco gods like Modern talking, I'm pleased to say that none of them are represented on the outstanding "ZYX Italo Disco Collection" volumes 2, 3, 4, and 5 compilations. These CDs focus on the lesser and not as well known Italo/Euro disco acts like Michael Bedford, Albert One, Divina, Moulin Rouge, Silent Circle, Lian Ross, Ken Laszlo, Shipra, Solid Strangers, Silver Pozzoli, On TV, Duke Lake, Jules, R Bias, Savage, and many, many others. What really thrilled me about the "ZYX Italo Disco Collection" was that of the 123 tracks featured I only possessed about three or four of them, which means, well over 100 of these tracks were totally new to me, and that was exciting. Also out of the 123 track on these CDs there are only a couple of duds (and I do mean a couple).
I heard many of the tracks on "ZYX ITalo Disco Collection" at Christopher's. After my 7:00 pm class came to and end I would rush to Christopher's. I would walk in the door and would happily be assaulted by the throbbing Italo/Euro disco music with its broken English, great electronics and keyboards, and a pounding drum machine that combined to make your body shake. The music would stop for a moment (to give the manager time to change CDs) and the suspended television's sound would be turned on. On the screen the desert winds blow the sepia tone sand, an Arab sheik garbs his robe and swings it dramatically across his body. He takes a swooning scantily clad woman with long dark and frizzy big hair into his arms and mounts a white horse. All the while the sound of Alan Ross' "Valentino Mon Amour" fills the bar. Then the television's sound is muted again and the prerecorded music from the "ZYX Italo Disco Collection" continues with Sweet Connection's "Need Your Passion". With its pounding beats, chugging keyboards and sing-along refrain. I'm at my table and my body shakes in my seat as my head rocks from side to side with the music, and I sing along with that great chorus, "The voodoo that you do-is magic-déeejàaaavuuuu-ou". And it was like déjà vu listening to "ZYX Italo Disco Collection" as I heard this track and many more from this collection at Christopher's.
What a shame that Christopher's being a bar and grill and did not have a dance floor because played there was, T. Ark's "Under Cover Lover", Patty Ryan's "Stay With Me Tonight" and "I Don't Wanna Lose You Tonight", Mike Mareen's "Lady Ecstasy" (this has keyboard work that will remind you of the Sylvester hi-NRG classic "Do You Wanna Funk"), Joy Peters' (with that astounding Lloyd Cole like voice) "Don't Lose Your Heart", and "One Night In Love", Brian Ice's "Over Again", Midnight Passion's "I Need Your Love", "Dance With Me" by Claudia T (when Claudia says, "youwilldancewith me" you will, believe me, you will), Grant Miller's "Tracks In The Snow" and "Red For Love", "Upside Down" by Coo Coo, and "Crank It Up" by Thomas & Shubert are shameless, frenetic, fast paced, Italo rump shakers aimed for dance floor consumption.
The one thing that I instantly noticed about "ZYX Italo Disco Collection" is the unmistakable influence of Modern Talking on the Italo disco scene. On many tracks there are the MT trademarks like the high-pitched backing vocals. You will find the influence of virtually every track from MT's now legendary "The First Album" on many of this CD's tracks. There are several acts that even do covers of Modern Talking songs like Joe Lockwood's nice version of MT's "Hey You". You know the age old question, which came first the chicken or the egg?" Well "ZYX, Italo Disco Collection" will have you asking, which came first Modern Talking or Italo disco?
As I sat and listened to "Rainy Day" by Brando, I noticed that the singer possessed Barry Gibb (of the Bee Gees) like vocals. Did you know that Italo superstar Spagna is singing background vocals on this tune?
Joe Yellow's "Easy Lover" is an inexpensive production, garbled broken English abounds, and due to the production the music and vocals are meshed together and are almost inaudible. And that's what makes this song sooooo good. It pumps along and you get to that chorus that sounds like....Loooverrrrr-I need some lovin'callmeloooverrrrr-Call me again....I'm sure that's probably not what is being sung, but with the cheap production and broken English, you can't make it out, and that's what makes it delicious. This just goes to show that a record made on a shoestring budget can be excellent, and also shows that shoestrings can taste good when cooked in the right sauce.
The music stops again and the television volume is turned up. On the screen, violent seas lash the shores of an ancient city. Modern Talking's Dieter Bohlen is playing guitar and Thomas Anders is singing and playing keyboards while ancient Corinthian columns crumble around them. A beautiful but distressed woman, dressed in a glittering gown like that of an ancient Greek, sits on a throne while her city that is tumbling down around her is engulfed by the thrashing seas. All the while "Atlantis Is Calling (SOS for Love)" floats from the television speakers filling the tiny neighborhood bar and grill.
When the television is silenced "ZYX Italo Disco Collection" picks up with four acts that bring to mind Italo legends Fun Fun. Ross' "Don't Stop", Sweet Connection's "Need Your Passion", King Kong & D' Jungle Girls' "Lies" (this is one wild piece of music, it will pound your brain to pulp, and you'll love every second of it), and Chip Chip's "Everything You Love" and "So Close To Heaven" (with it's thundering baseline). All four acts are excellent but Chip Chip is Fun Fun's only competition when it comes to delivering hard hitting, fast, no frills, pulsing, pounding energy that will make you shake.
"Moonlight Affair" by Cliff Turner, "Only One Night" by The Hurricanes, and "Vision of Love" by DJ's Project has got to be the best songs Modern Talking, Bad Boys Blue, and Fresh Fox never made. All three songs contain flourishes of MT and BBB, and 21st Century Italo/Euro music makers Fresh Fox update these sounds with phenomenal results which you can hear in their awesome track "No Goodbye" from their 2004 CD "Sexy".
Danuta's "Touch My Heart, Jessica's "Like a Burning Star", and Paula Evans' "Ciao" (Paula has a voice like that of Nathalie Merchant and her song will make you say "ciao" to control of your body and mind), are Italo rump shakers and each one of these songs has a wicked and thick baseline running through it.
Sauvage is a cheap version of Italo/Euro superstars Lime. That was not meant as a slight but as a compliment because in the case of Italo dance music, a cheap and fast production is always excellent. Their track "Don't You Want Me" with its whirlwind rhythms and vocals will remind you of Dennis and Denyse LaPage, it is oh so infectious and engaging.
In the eerie, strange, mysterious, haunting, but excellent category are "Chinese Magic" by Jessica with it's oriental electronics, Lala's "Johnny" (when this chick says "shake to the beat" you will, because you won't be able to help yourself), Rose's nursery rhyme like "Magic Carillon", and "Fairy Tale", which starts out with churning keyboards that segues into a bass line similar to that of Alphaville's "Big In Japan", the strange chugging locomotive "Sunshine Love" by Anthony's Games, which contains Jimmy Sommerville (of Bronski Beat) like falsetto wails, and Camaro's Gang's "Fuerza Major", with it's male on male vocals (one male's vocals are somewhat high pitched while the other male singing along vocals are very deep) reminded me of the Russian Euro boys Plazma whose "Lonely" (from their 2004 CD "607") has the same type of vocals.
KB Caps has three great tracks on this compilation, "Catch Me Now I'm Falling", "Julia" and their classic "Do You Really Need Me". "Do You Really Need Me" is one song that I am familiar with as I have three versions of it. The long version on "ZYX Italo Disco Collection" volume 5 is undoubtedly the best as the cute production touches and unnecessary sound effects of other versions are not present, and the song is a pounding, no nonsense track, heavy on electronics and dark
angst filled moodiness...it's great.
Once again the music is again turned off and the volume of the television is raised. The television screen is now filled with Las Vegas showgirls who spin and whirl while a suave dark Mediterranean looking male flirts with a glamorously gowned blonde at the roulette table. Suddenly juxtaposed images of flying poker chips, playing cards, spinning roulette wheels, and dancing showgirls fill the screen as the woman angrily exits the man's luxurious hotel suite as the exhausted, asleep man lies in a mammoth bed beneath satin sheets. All the while, the frenetic percolating rhythms of Venus' "One Shot Lover" explode from the TV speakers.
I've enjoyed my night at Christopher's but I reluctantly have to leave as I have to go home and study. As I walk out the television is muted and the pounding Italo powerhouse "One Day" by Janet fills the busy bar and grill.
One amusing irony about Christopher's is that the owner/manager was clueless about the music he played. One day (I was around 18/19 years old) I asked the manager (who was busy chewing out the bartender) where he got those cool songs that he played and he gave me the older grumpy business man annoyed by the pesky youngster look. The big, burley, gruff cigar chompin' guy curtly said to me that he knew nothing about the music it was just inexpensive music that he got from a service that provided music to restaurants and bars then he puffed on his cigar and basically said "Go away kid you're bothering me" and walked off.
When you place "ZYX Italo Disco Collection" into your preferred choice of music delivering technology, grab something and hold on tight, because within these 11 CDs there's a whole lot of shakin' going on. It's like these sizzling tracks are competing with one another to see which one can make your body shake the hardest.
If you purchased "ZYX Italo Disco Collection" 2, 3, 4, and 5 and love them but are not familiar with the gods of the euro disco universe, you also need to check out CDs by Modern Talking, Bad Boys Blue, Sandra, Fancy, Fun Fun, and C.C Catch (all of which you can find at Amazon.com).
If you like the Italo gods there is a new crop of youngsters influenced by the euro disco gods and the Italo disco sound that you will also enjoy. They are Fresh Fox ("No Goodbye" and "Take the Chance" from their "Sexy" full length CD, and their "Queen Of The Night" and "When The Angels Cry" from their full length CD "Tonight"). T.M.-Joy ("Say You'll Be Mine", "Born To Love You" and "Blue Crying Hearts" from their "Anything is Possible" full length CD). Mark Ashley ("My Valerie" from his "It's Just the Way" full length CD and "Run For Cover" from his "Lucky Star" full length CD). Bodies Without Organs ("Walking The Night", and "Living In A Fantasy" from their CD "Prototype"). Plazma ("Lonely" on their "607" full length CD, and "Jump In My Car" and "Angie (Gimme Fire)" from their CD "Take My Love"), and the not so young, but equally excellent Systems In Blue ("Point Of No Return, "Voodoo Queen" and "One Thousand and One Nights" from their CD "Point of No Return").
If Christopher's were in business today I'm sure they would be playing the above mentioned acts that are keeping the spirit of Italo disco alive in the 21st century. But since there is no longer a Christopher's you can find Mark Ashley and Bodies Without Organs' CDs [...]. [...]
I want to thank Daniel Marschollek who is the person responsible for compiling the songs on "ZYX Italo Disco Collection" volumes 2, 3, 4, and 5. Like a magician pulling rabbits from his magic hat he seems to pull an inexhaustible number of sizzling Italo tracks for the "ZYX Italo Disco Collection". I hope he can reach into that magic hat once more and compile "ZYX Italo Disco Collection" volume 6 (PLEASE!!!). I know that there are more hot unreleased Italo tracks by Chip Chip, King Kong & D' Jungle Girls, Thomas & Schubert, Rose, Alan Barry, T. Ark, Sweet Connection, and Joe Yellow, so if there is ever a "ZYX Italo Disco Collection" volume 6, please include them. Also there is a host of other Italo acts that I have never heard of but I understand that they have released some awesome Italo tracks, like:
Sophie ("Stop The Music", "Soft Time", "My World")
Loris Hildenbrand ("Blue Heart")
Krystyna ("Let The Night Take The Blame")
Lisa ("Stand Up and Sing", "I Believe in Music")
Alan Barcklay ("Don't Let Me Go", "Colour Of Love")
Phil & Stan ("Play The Game")
Monte Kristo ("The Girl Of Lucifer")
Fred Ventura ("Imagine", "Lost In Paris")
Wilson Ferguson ("Show Me", "Sometimes")
The doors of Christopher's closed permanently shortly after I graduated from college, but thanks to the wonderful people at ZYX Music I can now toss "ZYX Italo Disco Collection" 2, 3, 4, and 5 into my CD player (or computer) and visit Christopher's every day.

VERY DISAPOINTING FOR THE TRUE CLASSIC CLUB GOER.......2002-04-23
Do not be fooled by the "Extended Long Play Club Versions" note on this disc. All of these songs are destroyed to no end with the exception of one track. Here is an indepth review:
Supernature - Cerrone/very lousy edit and chopped in all the wrong places. Buy the CD "Cerrone 3" to hear this work of art
Love And Desire - Arpeggio/strange edit of this one taking sections of the track and putting them in different places
I Found Love - Love And Kisses/this is the original promo edit for this one, not bad, but bad mastering. Hear the good master of this edit on the boxed set"Casablanca records Story"
Hot Butterfly - Bionic Boogie/not edited but just the lp version.The 12 is way long and mixed differently(unavalible on cd)
Star Wars - Meco/another original promo edit with bad mastering, just buy the Meco album and hear the whole track
I Love America - Patrick Juvet/the original single version, low mastering
Love To Love You- Donna Summer/DESTROYED!!!! the original single edit is better
Don't Cry For Me..- Festival/Unedited but, hear the whole "Evita" suite
Souviners - Voyage/FULL VERSION!!!!! A miracle. But the downside..too much treble on mastering
Romeo And Juliet - A.Costandinos/ Well, a cleaned up version of the horrable Casablanca Records 12 inch edit. This is the only good thing about this disc. If you never heard the entire track of this..You're S.O.L. unless you shop for used classic vinyl. It's a great 31min. track in its entirty. Filling an entire LP. This is just one of Alec Costandinos' great concept masterpieces. Sadly, none of his other greats such as "Hunchback Of Notre Dame" has ever been rereleased on CD, not even an edit to give people a taste.
Theme From Midnight.. - Giorgio Moroder/This track is the wrong title. It's really called "Chase" and is butchered beyond belief. "Theme From..." is the name of another track off the same album and is an ambient type ballad. These people not only give fase info on extended versions and bad editing but, wrong track info as well (JEEESEEE!!)
Boogie Motion - Beautiful Bend/The original single edit. Your not missing much for its full version is repetitive anyway.
Well, there you have it. If you are a true classic clubber, BEWARE!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS JOKE!!!!!! But, if you are just a person who wants a feel for some of the more underground side of disco and classic electronic dance..pick it up. Who knows, after what i said, you might find yourself buying a turntable and tracking down this vinyl and compiling a good version of this disc.
Not far out but quite good.......2001-12-31
To people who were familiar with this material during disco's heyday and own vinyls of these titles, let me start with the bad news: A) Some of the hits, such as tracks 1, 3, 7, 10, 11 and 12 are'nt extended play versions, and almost all the tracks aren't full length versions. I had especially expected the last track to be an extended play or full length version since this isn't one easy to purchase anywhere on CD. B) Some of the tracks' editing, such as in "I Found Love" is short of being good. The tracks could have been organized differently. In the third track you can hear, at a certain time mark, a distinct change from a certain level of digital remastering to a much better one.
On the good side, the hit selection is excellent. Every Eurodisco producer of that era seems to have gotten his fair share and his honor due. If you don't want to hoard all the Eurodisco albums and you don't insist on having full length versions, this disc is a M U S T for you. Don't waste anymore time and hit the pavement hunting!
A must have for any collection!.......2001-08-11
If you are a true disco maniac from 76-77, you will love this CD. These hard to find songs that mostly only came in 12 inch single imports will be appreciated by anyone who really knows the undergroud disco scene.
not bad.......2001-07-25
Except for what did they do to Star Wars theme on this CD? Unless my CD player is broken, it sounds like they cut out the best part. Maybe I will go back and listen to it again. Otherwise, it's good.

the golden days of dance.... again!.......2002-05-06
First, get all 3 volumes, put 'em on your multi-disc cd player, then let these dancefloor gems do their thaaang... Can be played at a bbq on Memorial Day, July 4, Labour Day, etc... or while you're playing Twister (tangled up in a pretzel position while trying to grab that Bacardi & Coke that's waaaay on the other side of the mat ;) whatever... you get the idea. Your cooler friends will scream and shout when their favorite joints get those memories flooding back.
More than five stars.........2000-06-24
Anyone who has experienced the club scene (especially NYC) in the late 70's and early 80's must get this CD POST HASTE! I'm sitting here right now taking a trip down memory lane. The compilation of songs is PERFECT. That rarely happens. All of the selections are not only awesome but arranged well in their order. I seriously urge anyone who was growing up through that period (and enjoyed it) or who is curious about the club music to get this CD. Make no mistake, club/house music has a totally different flavor than your garden variety "disco".
