I wonder if it really was Franco Diaferia who wrote the lyrics to that song... I don't think he would have been able to pull that off.

Also, who on Earth is that vocalist?

Okay, your babbling about the Jail Bait lyrics got me to actually buy the song with some leftover credit I had at vinyl-distribution.nl (Dutch version of djshop.de). :')

Jail baaaaiiiit.

We should totally make Marcello play this track, DarkSky. :')!

I always thought is was the same guy who sang 543210- Michael Southerland, The music even resembled that of Jailbait if slowed down a bit or vica versa. but then again that singer also kinda reminded me of Fonny De Wolf's deep vocals ,so I must be nuts

One thing for certain it wasn't Brian Ice who sang Collin's other hit Beautiful Girl.

On a different note if this is the style AVEX was talking about bringing back the old skool sound would totally be thumbs up for me

For those still curious about the Jail Bait vocalist, it's Chuck Rolando - best known for being the voice behind Den Harrow's first two hits, To Meet Me and A Taste Of Love. In fact, it was him who wrote the lyrics, though he isn't credited on the vinyl. I knew an Italian wouldn't have come up with this...

Chuck later wrote lyrics to several A-Beat C tracks under the pseudonym Harlaxton (e.g. The Big Brother - Oh Oh Oh Girls Are Dancing, Kelly Wright - Nine And A Half Weeks).

Den Harrow. I have a few Vinyls of his. I gotta go hear that again.

Chuck only sang A Taste Of Love and To Meet Me, so you specifically need to listen to those. Other songs were performed by Tom Hooker (not all, there was that guy who sang the Lies LP, and Ian Lex and Silver Pozzoli also sang a song)

The same Ian Lex from Blue Eyes (High Energy label)

BTW so who sang Future Brain? I always thought the Den Harrow on the cover was actyally Den Harrow

Actually one song: Ocean. Kind of duet between Gubinelli and Ian Lex. But I don't think you'll like that song

Ian Lex also sang the cover of Mad Desire by Lawrence Ville.

I'm sorry to say, but it was Tom Hooker... (T.H. Beecher)

I heard that Ocean song back in the Iventi D'Azzurro top 20 days. You are right. I didn't like it.

A lot of Flea songs that were not available before on Juno (by Farina, Pasquini and others) are available as well:
http://www.junodownload.com/labels/Flea/releases

Most of them are also in the iTunes store. There are some really good songs out there! (for those who like very early eurobeat sound)

A very good way to perserve some of those classix on mp3 formatt,

One of the first songs I saw was Bella Model- Don't Touch Me. Never got that vinyl

You wouldn't happen to know what the jacket sleeve looked like would you?

Probobly one of my favourite 90s Eurobeat labels ever. AbeatC's early sound stemmed from that label. Compare songs like Shock In The Night- Micheal Dream & Catching Your TIME- Patrick Hooley. Very similiar in soundworlds.

As far as I can remember, the sleeve of Bella - Model is a picture of Domino (with short hair).

Anyway I still have lots of Flea records on sale!

Ciao.

Ronald.

I think Ronald is right, I've seen the sleeve once but don't have it myself.

And what do you think of Robert Stone - Dance Girl? Also Flea-like. Bella Model - I Can't Stand It is also similar (and great).

Oh, I love both of those songs. I Can't Stand it was written by a certain Algokan(Pasquini), so you can hear the similiarities.

anyway, Flea is one of my treasured labels. That's were I first heard Claudio Magnani and Dave Rodgers sing in Falsetto. I think that's also were I first saw the name of Sergio Dall Ora. Vinyl-wise, that is.
