Stil novo records - re-released...

[euro up north]

This is a magic little company with a monstersound.

It seems that the company was active 89-92 and has the magic sound of early eurobeat.

The hitmakers Baldoni-Rosellini-Bonini, were involved in every relaease.

Here is a cool thing:

Three albums, called hi energy work out stars (session 1,2,3) has been released this year.

And it seems to be a pure collection of all the songs, that is officially released from the company.

BUT....theres seems to be a handfull of unreleased songs, but that is not confirmed.

My question: The song with Liza Blue - Romantic (But I think it is Liza - Blue romantic, because that is what is sung in the song.), does anyone knew if there is a 12" version and instrumental of the song.

I think it is one of the best songs I have heard in years.

Nice find! Nando is great! Round to midnight, Bring your love back to me, What to do... Never be lonely is also a great song.
But why did they use radio versions for these compilations? That's a pity

[EurothunderNL]

Great find!!

Some of these were the first eurobeat songs I ever heard (by coincidence browsing on the radio channels)

I remember I listened the vinyl of Liza/Stormy weather at Melody Maker but bought Thrisha/Silver kisses

Yeah, why not the extended versions??

As most of you know, one of my musical goals is to collect entire catalogs of Eurobeat and Italo labes and I have almost the whole extendeds collection on mp3 and a few on vinyl. The kbps are not the greatest, but this is a very hard label to find in extended so I am very greatful to at least have them on 192 and even a few in 128.

Interesting thing: "Gangster's Night (Cool Down Version)" from Hi Energy Workout Stars (Session 2) is actually "Love Is Blind" by Bosa Trida, a hard-to-find track originally released on Finzy Records. It's far from Hi-NRG, though.

It seems these tracks were never released on vinyl:
Liza - Blue Romantic
Rudy - Try
Elisa - Everyone Is Good For Love
Marystella - Rave Your Love To Me
Belladonna - Over Me

Do these tracks have actually anything to do with CROSS OVER Records? Or do they sound like them?

Yup, they were written and produced by the same team (Baldoni/Rosellini/Bonini). They changed labels a few times.

1987-1990: Radiorama Productions
1990: Finzy Records
1990-1992: Stil Novo Records
1992-1993: Finzy Records
1996: Crossover Records

I think some of the Stil Novo/Finzy vocalists also sang at Crossover later on (e.g. Dan Hill/Dan Newman/Danny Newman).

Exactly, I recognized ''Belladonna''. Do you think she's the same singer?

Well, several vocalists sang under that alias, including Clara Moroni ("Love Is For Lovers" and "Call My Name"). I couldn't associate Crossover's female tracks with any particular vocalists, to be honest...

By the way, I really wish some of the Finzy tracks from 1992-1993 were released for download. As far as I know, only "Before Tomorrow Comes Again" was released on CD (SEB Vol. 29), the rest seems to be vinyl-only, unfortunately...
