water the good music down

While record shopping this weekend, as I seem to do every weekend, I came across a few hidden rare gems. One of those rare disco LP's was Southern Exposure's Headin' South. This 1979 RCA release was produced by Ian Guenther and Willi Morrison which are better known as THP (Three Hats Productions).

Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun - Pink Floyd
Logical Song - Supertramp
The Chameleon (Instrumental) - Glass Candy

This four track LP was also arranged by Pete Pedersen who was behind many great disco releases like Sticky Fingers 1978 self-titled LP, THP's solid 1979 LP Good To Me, and The Duncan Sisters 1979 self-titled debut. Overall, this record which features both male and female vocals, amazing percussion and strings, and long epic instrumental breaks, is worthy of any disco collection. Definitely a nice find!

London - Noonday Underground
Embryonic Pancake Eater - Sun Eaters

This record, along with Giorgio Moroder's LP From Here To Eternity could be considered by many as the birth place of italo disco. With classic cuts like "Delicate Jan", "It's The Way", and "Hey There", it's evident that this record had a huge helping influence on the creation and development of italo disco.

Casanova - Coffee

A solid new effort from this upcoming German producer.
