Produced by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte. Chris Bennett on vocals.
The A-side is OK but not very exciting at all, whereas the B-side is absolutely
fantastic, and in the same line as the 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' album. Track 5
for example is a fascinating boogie-woogie computer disco (!) and will keep your feet moving!

Liner notes in Sparks CD "The Heaven Collection" 1993: "Despite the success with the public, the British press crucified us for 'going disco' with this LP.
We felt we had committed some crime and Giorgio was our accomplice. Funny how ten years later, 'disco' is called 'dance music'
and it's no longer a pejorative term. A video for 'Tryouts' that has never been shown in America was shot at Shepperton Film Studios in London.
We were transformed into werewolves by one of Hitchcock's Shepperton based make-up artists."

René Mensing commented on this CD 21 Jan 2005: "I have noticed that in this section you only mentioned that Sparks-beat the clock are missing a few seconds
but unfortunately there are more “problems” with this cd. Namely: Every track has about 1 to 2 seconds silence before they start, measured from the beginning of every cue point.
Not only the Sparks is missing a few seconds from the intro, unfortunately (the main reason why I bought this cd!!!) Suzi Lane-Harmony is missing almost the whole intro
so in other words the part that makes this recording so interesting (I believe more than 50 seconds is ommited on this release!).
The CD sounds very good and it seems that all tracks are taken from Mastertapes, except Roberta Kelly-trouble Maker seems to sound if it is taken from vinyl and then digitally remastered afterwards. But all in all it is a very nice CD."

July 1977 7"/12" Donna Summer: I Feel Love I Feel Love/Can't We Just Sit Down? 4.25 (US 7": Casablanca, NB 884)
July 1977 LP (+CD) DONNA SUMMER: I REMEMBER YESTERDAY
All songs produced by Moroder/Bellotte. The only song here that should appeal
to 'Computer Disco' fans is 'I Feel Love' - a radical change from his earlier
'Soft Disco' sound and a superb Moroder classic. The other songs are very soft.
Sep 1977 7" Donna Summer: I Remember Yesterday I Remember Yesterday/Spring Affair (GTO Records)
Sep 1977 LP (+CD) GIORGIO: FROM HERE TO ETERNITY
Amazing, futuristic, rhytmical! Way ahead of its time and a must for Moroder fans.
The whimsical and corny last track sabotages the wholeness though.

Sep 1977 7" Giorgio: From Here To Eternity From Here To Eternity (single remix) 3.30/Too Hot To Handle 4.51 (UK 7": OASIS 1)
Clive Hocker: "The 7" version starts with the the vocoder-style voice
from the album version without any additional instrumentation.
Then the music starts (suddenly - almost in the same way as the Donna Summer
recording 'I Feel Love) and Moroder's singing begins after eight bars of this
introduction. After one verse (as on the album) the chorus repeats four times.
The mix during the chorus is substantially different with more emphasis on the
'hook' melody. Instead of proceeding onto the second verse (as on the album)
the beat continues but the music fades into the percussive start of 'Utopia -
Me Giorgio' and then that track continues until the single fades. It is almost
a medley of the two tracks - perhaps Moroder couldn't decide which was the better
song! A video (rather basic by today's standards) was released to accompany
the song and featured a close up of Moroder standing in front of a bright light.
During the chorus he moved in time to the music so that the light flared into
the camera!". Included on a various artist disco CD called 'Thump's Flashback Disco' (Thump/PolyGram 1999).
Dec 1977 7" Donna Summer: I Love You I Love You 3.17/Once upon a Time 3.58
Dec 1977 2-LP (+CD) DONNA SUMMER: ONCE UPON A TIME...
All songs produced by Moroder/Bellotte. 5, 6, 8 and 13 are really great
Moroder stompers, but many other tracks are good too.
"Yes, I did the double LP "Once Upon A Time".
We used the Munich Machine rhythm players (including the incredible drummer
Keith Forsey) and the Munich Symphony. Giorgio stayed away from the studio
for the entire project and left me to format the order of the record. He
left me alone and let me do whatever I wanted. His partner Pete Bellote was
in the studio for the guitar overdubs and later co-wrote lyrics with Donna.
Giorgio had given me a tape of himself at an electric piano singing "la, la,
la" the melody and giving some chord changes in his playing. I then did a
demo of the entire album w/synthesizers in L.A. After that, I flew to Munich
to stay at the Arabella Haus where Giorgio's studio Musicland was.
Everything you hear instrumentally was completed before Donna heard it. I
had sung the melody for her on the tape and she took it from there. It took
about 4 weeks to do all the music, then Donna flew in from her tour of Italy
and wrote the words to the songs. I didn't know what the lyrics were until
she sang them. Then we added background vocals and Giorgio mixed it. During
this process, I did the Roberta Kelly LP "Gettin' the Spirit" which had the
song "O Happy Day". I added a gospel choir and some overdubs in L.A. then it
went to Munich for Giorgio to mix it."
Feb 1978 7" Donna Summer: Rumour Has It Rumour Has It/Once upon a Time (theme)
Feb ca 1978 German & Italian coll-LP OASIS - THE SOUND OF MUNICH
Thanks to Søren Jensen for info on the German LP and to Wayne Snell for information on the Italian LP.
Søren Jensen told me about the German LP: "It has a great fold-out cover with quite extensive biographies
(= not just two lines) in German of Moroder, Donna, Trax, Roberta Kelly, Dino Solera, Speed Limit and Munich Machine.
The albums that were issued on the Oasis label via Ariola (Germany) are pictured - meaning Donna's & Roberta Kelly's
albums are missing since they were issued on Atlantic there - those pictured are: Giorgio's "Knights" + "Eternity",
Trax' "Watch Out", the first Munich Machine LP, and an entire Dino Solera LP (look here:
http://www.discomusic.com/records-more/2242_0_2_0_M46/ ) - in the German biography, it reads that
'Giorgio produced Dino's first album, a second one will follow soon' … but this apparently didn't happen.
One to me previously unknown album by the group Speed Limit: "Cruisin'" (Oasis 25 218 OT) is also pictured
+ Trax' "Dancing In The Street" and Munich Machine's "Whiter Shade Of Pale" are announced as forthcoming albums."
Søren also told me about Speed Limit: " 'Love Fever' does not have anything in common with the title on 2nd Munich Machine album.
Speed Limit (apparently) did two singles on the Oasis label - Love Fever / Do It Now
(both written by Charly Kressmann & Pete Bellotte), produced by Pete Bellotte 1977, and Bump The Twist".
March? 1978 US 7" Roberta Kelly: Oh Happy Day Oh Happy Day 3.18 (single mix)/To My Father's House 3.58 (US 7": Casablanca NB 935)
13 March 1978 LP (+CD) ROBERTA KELLY: GETTIN' THE SPIRIT
Recorded in Munich and Los Angeles in 1978, produced by Giorgio Moroder and Bob Esty. A kind of gospel-disco.
The A-side is the better side with Giorgio's usual uptempo disco stomping a la 1978, not bad at all.
The B-side is slower and not in my taste.

May 1978 soundtrack LP-set (+ 2-CD) THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY
The first two tracks are featured in their extended form on 'The Dance Collection'.
Of the 19 songs on this 2 1/2-LP album, I've only listed the ones
with any relativity to this list. Movie premiered 17 May 1978 in Los Angeles.
Thanks to Rob Shaffer, Alan Septimus, and to Volker Kanzler for telling me about the 2-CD.
(2-LP: Casablanca NBLP 7099-12.98; 2-CD 25 March 1997: Casablanca Chronicles, 314 534 606 2;
also as a 12-track single CD disc (Rebound Records 314-520-337-2) without the last track)
"I met Giorgio Moroder when I did 'Last Dance' (summer of 1977). Neil Bogart
(president of Casablanca Records) was the force behind doing the song. He
thought it was a "hit".
Paul Jabara had "trapped" Donna in a bathroom in Puerto Rico to make her
listen to the song idea. She said OK, and Paul and I finished the song and I
developed the way the song was to be done: slow intro, fast, then slow
again, then fast. It was to be the first time to my knowledge a disco track
did this.
Giorgio was initially against the song because it wasn't his, and, vocally,
Donna would be singing "full voice" (not high and breathy). This was not
like "I Feel Love" and the other previous tracks. Also, we were to use a
full orchestral arrangement, not electronic.
We recorded the entire track in one day at Record Plant. Giorgio was not
involved in the recording of the track except we had Jurgen Koppers (his
engineer) at the console. Mr. Moroder was present at the end of the
instrumental session when Donna sang her vocal (2 times only, as was her
habit). Donna and I had made a "demo" of the entire full length version with
piano and voice, so she knew the arrangement and the song before the vocal
session.
I mixed the song with Bob Stone at Larrabee Studios and it was done. After
hearing the final product, Giorgio asked me to arrange "Once Upon A Time".
This double LP was released before "Last Dance" because the movie "Thank God
It's Friday" came out some months later."
May 1978 7"/promo 12" Donna Summer: Last Dance Last Dance (Reprise) 3.17/With Your Love 4.00
Recorded in July 1977. The promotional 12" mix was done by Marc Paul Simon and Bobby Guttadoro.
24 May 1978 LP (+ CD) MUNICH MACHINE: A WHITER SHADE OF PALE
Written and produced by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte. Featuring Chris Bennett on vocals.
Much better than the first Munich Machine album: heavy electronic rhythms and
catchy melodies compensate the very idea of making 'Computer Disco' versions
of old classics (which actually works very well!).
The CD, titled Get on the Funk Train, includes Munich Machine's two first LPs.

25 Sep 1978 soundtrack LP (+CD) MIDNIGHT EXPRESS
Track 1 is Giorgio de-luxe, 3 and 8 are also good but slower. Track 2
is an OK ballad, whereas 4 is a bluesy song not written by Moroder at all. 6 is an exciting
song and you can hear some similarities to the 1982 Cat People soundtrack!
5 and 7 are more or less horror music.

Dan told me that he thinks that The Beepers is not really a group but Giorgio solo,
and that he uses a vocoder like on the Munich Machine and Giorgio & Chris LPs.

19 Oct 1978 LP THE THREE DEGREES: NEW DIMENSIONS
Track 1 is very good and rhythmical, 3 has a good bass "drive" and melody, 4 an excellent rock-disco track,
whereas 2 is more glamorous and soft-disco. 5 and 6 are (to me boring) ballads.

Side A produced by Harold Faltermeyer. Side B (track 9) produced by Giorgio Moroder/Harold Faltermeyer.
'Evolution' is pretty good actually even though it is rather slow and intended as soundtrack music.
It has the usual sounds of this period. It was included on a (deleted) Canadian CD-Maxi (Unidisc, SP5-1632).
Thanks to Wayne Snell for the track listing.
May 1979 2-LP (+CD) DONNA SUMMER: BAD GIRLS
All songs except 12 produced by Moroder/Bellotte. Recorded late Jan to March 1979 at Rusk Sound Studios in Los Angeles.
Arguably her best album, including many classics.
1, 3, 4, 6, 14 and 15 are my favourites (Moroder de luxe)
but 7, 8 and 13 are also quite good. The rest of the tracks are slower
ballads that don't appeal to me since I'm a Moroder fan, not a Summer fan.

26 April 1979 LP MUNICH MACHINE: BODY SHINE
Produced by Giorgio Moroder and M.W [possibly refering to Gunter Moll and Stephen Wisnet, two members of Munich Machine].
Varied and modern disco (not Computer Disco, even though track 3 comes close).
Some funk here, some guitars there. Doesn't really excite me.

26 April 1979 LP THE SYLVERS: DISCO FEVER
Produced by Giorgio Moroder and Harold Faltermeyer. Nothing special really,
this is also some kind of modern soft disco with no exciting rhytm. You can

The single edit is included on 'The Very Best of Sparks' Repertoire CD.
Liner notes in Sparks CD "The Heaven Collection" 1993: "The combination of Giorgio Moroder's electronics and a dance beat
had been intriguing to us. Both Giorgio and ourselves were feeling our way through the recording process,
as he had never worked with a band before, and we had never worked with a producer known more for his work
with solo disco artists like Donna Summer. No drum machines were used on the album; none existed at the time.
Just Keith Forsey (Billy Idol's current producer) and his steady right foot.
Though recorded mostly in Los Angeles, once again the British and European public were the most supportive of what we were doing."
May? 1979 LP (+CD) SPARKS: No 1 IN HEAVEN
All songs produced by Moroder. Synthesizers by Ron Mael and Moroder. A great album if you like (and even if you don't like) Sparks.
Track 3 was also issued as an edited single (3 min 50 sec) in Germany (available on 'The Very Best of Sparks' Repertoire CD).
(CD: Bud Music, CMP 62004; reissue CD 1999: Repertoire REP 4768-WG)
27 July 1979 7"/12" Sparks: Beat the Clock Beat the Clock 3.49 [single edit]/(Alternative Version) 3.32 [edit of the 12" version] (UK 7": Virgin, VS 270)
The single edit is included on 'The Very Best of Sparks' Repertoire CD.
The extended version is available on the Sparks CD 'The 12inch Mixes' (CMP 62010) and on the Italian CD 'Giorgio Moroder & Co: GREATEST HITS' (see later entry)
but unfortunately both CDs exclude the first few seconds from the beginning of the original vinyl version.
Liner notes in Sparks CD "The Heaven Collection" 1993: "[Donna Summer's] 'I Feel Love' had caused an amazing impression on us.
Working with Giorgio Moroder, we wanted to see if we could combine some of the electronics and feel of that song with our lyric slant.
'Beat the Clock' was the second British hit single from the LP. We were happy to see that the meny was basically the same at the BBC-TV canteen."
19 Oct 1979 7"/12" Sparks: Tryouts for the Human Race Tryouts for the Human Race 3.20 [edit of US 12" version]/Tryouts for the Human Race 6.07 (UK 7"/12": Virgin, VS 289/289-12)
'The Very Best of Sparks' Repertoire CD includes the 3.20 edit.
Clive Hocker: 'Strangely the US 12" version does NOT appear on 'Sparks - The 12 Inch Mixes'.
It omits the lengthy solo 'syn-drum' sequence in favour of a long introduction based on the existing verse/chorus and,
just before the final verse and chorus, adds an almost 'I Feel Love' synthesiser 'break-down' sequence.
Equally odd is the fact that it features an extra line in the final verse which is not in the album version:
'...We just want to feel the sun and be your little daughter or your son. We're just words that lovers use,
words that light that automatic fuse. Still we're at the mercy of the passion of the helpers of the Lord.
When that love explosion comes, my, oh my, we want to be someone...'
Which could suggest that the original version of this song is, in fact, the 'US extended 12" version' rather than the shorter album version!'
May 1979 7"/12" Japan: Life in Tokyo Life in Tokyo (short version) 3.30/Life in Tokyo (part 2) 3.17/3.29 (Ariola AHA 540)
Written by Moroder and David Sylvian (Japan's songwriter and lead singer), produced by Moroder.
I love it since I also love Japan. Worth a listening in any case. This was not on any album,
and the only CD that has these versions is a Japanese 2-CD titled 'Singles' (BVCP-8613-14).
11 July 1979 LP SUZI LANE: OOH LA LA
I have only heard track 4, and it has great electronic, danceable rhythms and
is very melodic. Additional comments from Michel Castonguay:
'I have this album and I confirm you that Harmony is the most definite reason
why this album was sold. There is also Ooh, La La that sounds OK with
typical Giorgio synthetizer sounds but was not known as well as Harmony.
The rest of the tracks, you can forget, it does not sound familiar from
Giorgio, just plain and soft old style disco.' Thanks to Wayne Snell for LP track listing.

27 Aug 1979 LP (+CD) GIORGIO: E=MC2
This is Giorgio de-luxe! An amazing album, the world's first to be recorded
live-to-digital directly (on June 15th 1979). With an infectious, heavy, robotical rhythm, this has
to be one of his best records ever. A winner and a favourite amongst fans.
The official Repertoire CD reportedly has some unwanted noise (clicks and hiss) - strange!
Two tracks (E=MC2 and I Wanna Rock You) were included on a (now deleted) Canadian CD-maxi in 1992 (Unidisc, SP5-1632).
But an illegal Russian CD from 1995 (A 107) has excellent sound quality and must have been very carefully de-clicked!
(There is another Russian illegal CD with another catalogue number but the sound quality is not by far as good,
and there is also a Europan illegal CD (SLAMCD 50162) but again the sound quality is mediocre.)
Clive Hocker told me something interesting: "A curiosity is that 'What a Night' appeared in a drastically different
version as a jingle in a 20 second Nescafé Instant Coffee commercial
screened in the UK in 1980! Over various shots of steaming fresh coffee a rather
high-pitched male vocal (not Moroder) sang 'Fresh! Coffee! Beans!' to the tune of 'What a Night'!"

Thanks to Soren Jensen for info. He informed me: "Baby Blue 3.49 is a single edit mix with a two extra notes before the drums start
and a cold ending instead of the 'bridge' to 'Oh What a Night'. 'If You Weren't Afraid' 3.50 just has an early fade-out."
