LAURA ANGEL - IF YOU WANT / SUMMER TIME ( 12" - 2022 release)

1 If You Want
2 Summer Time

Disco Segreta sets your summer on fire with the official reissue of two killer obscure italo-disco masterpieces!

Out of the catalog of the no longer active cult Savona-based label Disco In, this 7” released in 1985 in 1000 copies sung by the mysterious Laura Angel, is probably one of the most elusive, with original copies hardly ever showing up!

“Summer Time” carries all the fascinating stylistic elements of italo-disco: romantic struggle, summer-inspired ital-english lyrics sung by a catchy female voice, over minimal 80s drums and arpeggiated basslines; while “If You Want” is possibly one of the finest examples of that all-Italian peculiar mixture of darkwave, synth-pop and italo-disco. Two superb melanchol-italo tearjerkers, with a masterful use of three classic italo disco fetish synths: E-mu Drumulator, Juno 106, Korg Poly 61.

As usual with us, the first ever 12” reissue of this 45 – in a limited edition on 180g. high-quality vinyl – will be lovingly remastered, respectful of the actual tracks’ 80s lo-fi vibe, and will feature the original 45 versions
