Artists like Kano, Den Harrow and Gazebo scored hit after hit, spilling out of the clubs and onto turntables across the continent with classics like ‘Another Life’, ‘Catch The Fox’ and ‘I Like Chopin’ selling volumes that most modern artists could only dream of today. \u003cbr\u003e     Forty years later these lost hits (and more!) have found a new life, democratised by the advent of streaming and a new generation of dancers with an ear for the electric and obscure. As you’d expect, original 7” and 12” singles from this decade have become increasingly sought after, with common tracks becoming harder to find, rarities harder to afford. Perfect timing then to lionise this visionary music with its first Ace compilation.\u003cbr\u003e     “Promise Me Delight” then, is a love letter, a journey through Italo-disco and European pop, and an imagined soundtrack to wild 80s nights of hot abandon we could never truly have known. Step through the lasers and dry ice to an unreal universe where Tom Hooker (‘Looking for Love’), Fun Fun (‘Living in Japan’) and Sandra (‘Maria Magdalena’) remain household names \u003cem\u003eeverywhere\u003c\/em\u003e, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Pet Shop Boys and Madonna in a decade that echoed the genius of the Italian dancefloor.\u003cbr\u003e     “Promise Me Delight” was compiled by record buyer and record store veteran David Perry, who runs East London's longest running all-vinyl Italo-Disco night of the same name. When not purchasing records, lasers and smoke machines in a professional capacity, he performs as David Bowie in tribute with The Band Who Fell to Earth and spends time with his many cats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n     Track Listings:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e(I'll Never Be) Maria Magdalena - Sandra\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnother Life - Kano\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eLooking For Love - Tom Hooker\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eCatch The Fox (Caccia Alla Volpe) - Den Harrow\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eStargazing (Edit) - Alisha\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eKing Of Hearts - Martinique\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eMasterpiece - Gazebo\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eJohn - Desireless\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eLove In Siberia - Laban}\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eFlash - Stephanie\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eProblemes D'Amour (USA Original Version) - Alexander Robotnick\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eFotonovela (Chapter 1) - Ivan\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eSelf Control - Raf\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eI Like Chopin (Single Edit) - Gazebo\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eTake A Chance - Mr Flagio\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.acerecords.co.uk\/docs\/XXQLP2_169\/XXQLP2_169-4-2.mp3\" class=\"button play-grey audio\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cem\u003eLiving In Japan (7'' Version) - Fun Fun\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eBad Boy - Den Harrow\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhole Lotta Love - Massimo Barsotti DJ\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cb\u003eSEALED\u003c\/b\u003e NEW \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eimport 2 LP compilation \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ace \/ Steve Palmer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49064934080763,"sku":null,"price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/4553\/files\/PromiseMeDelight-ItaloDiscoandEuropeanPopfromtheGoldenAgeLPfront.png?v=1783832261","url":"https:\/\/orbitrecords.com\/products\/various-promise-me-delight-italo-disco-and-european-pop-from-the-golden-age-2-lp-import","provider":"Orbit Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
