    Fryer, are you still playing nights in Edinburgh?

    Used to go to Motherfunk religiously at Venue (and often Honeycomb) but having moved back after being away for a while and generally getting older, I'm a bit out of touch these days!

    It was a stone groove.

    say what? "I Need Somebody To Love Tonight" is so good...great synthwork by Patrick Cowley on it...the only way to get this on 12" is a European pressing and it's an instrumental...it's definitely on a cosmic tip...not italo sounding at all...although "Do You Wanna Funk" is closer to the classic Italo/Hi-NRG sound.

    Other big Sylvester tunes are "I Need You" and "In My Fantasy".

    I was not saying it was bad, it was listed under Sylvester records i spin (on the very 12" your schooling me about). I was Just repeating what johnny come lately 'fad' collectors were telling me a a fair a few weeks back, and i did say 'think they collect italo'. I shouldn't really have to defend myself from the genre police, before picking my post apart try reading it properly.

    it just didn't really make any sense to me....must be a Glaswegian thing. That's awesome you have the 12"...it's tough to find here in the states. I wasn't schooling you on the 12"...just sharing knowledge with the board. And I'm certainly not the genre police...you are the one who brought up italo...genres clearly have meaning, this is a message board, we are discussing genres constantly.
