Cheap must-haves!

Greetings, people!

I am aware this may have been up for discussion before, but I feel it deserves a rejuvenation.

Name three (3) 12" italo records that are very cheap (price no more than 10 euro), but that you find are must-haves in your collections. Rare or not rare, original Italian releases or other labels don't matter.

I'm doing this since I would like to know what to get now when I'm about to move and the economy is somewhat strained... ;) There are TONS of cheapos I don't have yet or haven't even heard so...

OK, I'll go first:
1. Moonshine - China
2. Robert Bravo - Love Me Like I Do
3. Buelo Aris - New York New York/Mr. Pilot

Who dares to go next? ;)

We do have a sticky topic of this "cheapos but goodies" but whatever, hm, stuff that is cheap and very good: indeed, there are lots of it

Madigan - Ice Cold Love (this one is even in my all time top 10)
Sue Sadlow - My Man
Twilight - My Mind

I think all 3 of them are beautiful songs, I love them as much as my hard to find records. I would like to add Video - Somebody too, this one has been very important to me as it was the introduction to Italo for me when I was a kid, my dad used to play that one a lot back then, these synths sounded very futuristic to me, I'd never heard something like that before in my life back then. Even now, it still sounds amazing, that's a record that I would NEVER sell, even if it's dirty cheap :)

My three to start:

Doctor's Cat - Feel The Drive
Scotch - Penguin's Invasion
My Mine - Hypnotic Tango

Fun Fun - Give Me Your Love (Remix)

La_Monte_Old
Sue Sadlow - My Man

Agreed. Sue Sadlow - I Will Find My Way is catchy too (except for the Yankee Doodle break down bit).

Nice topic working_model, I need to do a cheapo run. :)

Tabu d'Apache - Don't Believe In Love
Mike Cannon - Goin' Crazy
Albert One - Heart On Fire

i love:

Tom Hooker - "Help Me"
Test-One - "Dreamer"
French American Style - "Vagrant Star"

3 more, sorry ;-)

Jane Hill - "Radio"
Klaudia - "For Your Love"
Influence - "You've Got The Feeling"

Three more from me:

Phaeax - Talk About
Roger Meno - Love, Goodbye
Silver Pozzoli - Love Is the Best

I also have to add that euro disco is to be included in this thread also, obviously... ;)

Found Scotch - Penguins' Invasion today (for no more more than 10 euro ;) )
Is indeed great, I Agree with WaxHead's list.

3 cheap records that are cheap but great, in my humble opinion:
Bizzy & Co - Take A chance
I bought this one because it had an Il Discotto sleeve. Someone had said before that Il Discotto was a great Italo label. So when I saw the sleeve I didn't hesitate. I later found out that is was not a real Il Discotto release, but I really liked the song, and I still do. Recommended cheapo.
Paul Sharada - Keep Your Love Alive
A later Discotto release from 1985. Dirt Cheap, but I really like it. My favourite Sharada song for sure.
Digital Game - I'm Your Boogie man/ With & Without
Vocoder style coverversion of KC & The Sunshie Band song. Really like it. Instrumental With & Without is great too. I maybe like this even better.

because got them for free! But its really long ago..

very rare and lucky moments in 20 years of italo-life. :-)

Jogi
very nice catches. The only one I got for free was Gaznevada - I.C. Love Affair. Which is very nice though.

Another cheap but great record:
Cariocas - Batida
Can be bought for little money nowadays, even under 10 euros.

some of these are late-italo disco (85-86), but most are amazing IMHO (particularly Swan, Primadonna and RYN'O)

Disco_Segreta
Swan - Don't talk about it

i only discovered this one recently, great track!

hysteric: fantastic isn't it? I go crazy for the instrumental!

Nice and cheap must haves which i like...

Silver Pozzoli "Around my dream" RMX (pretty nice!)
Make Up "She´s number one" (underestimated!)
Jane Hill "Radio/ Keep on music" (very good B-side track!)
Joe Yellow "Love at first" (love it! classic!)
LA Message "Dead or alive" (bomb!)
Ryan Dalmini "Run to me/ Forever" (B-side track is nice!)
Trixie "When everybody´s../ No escape" (nice B-Side track!)
Frank Paul "She´s got the power/ I´ll never stop" (nice B-side track!)
Fluo "Magic mirror" (underestimated!)

these I like very much and they are not that expensive

Age - Water Suite (fantastic Instr. song !!!)
Mike Cannon - Goin' Crazy
Tabu 'd Apache - Don't Believe In Love

Digital Emotion - Go Go Yellow Screen
Fake - Brick
Miko Mission - The World is you

Well there are some you must have..and i think you have them.;)

@ Italo-neon:

Swan - Don't Talk About It : as said, this one is great, particularly the instrumental in the chorus part "o-o-o-o-o x2" and the then the synth solo that goes crazy.

I aslo agree on Time - Shaker Shake, very nice and Styloo, which to me is a total masterpiece: not only the instrumental flipside "pretty perversion" is amazing, but, contrarily to what happens to most italo recs, even the vocal version is gorgeous!

this one too is incredibly beautiful, and still changes hands for about 10 euros

http://discogs.cinepelis.org/Blue-Vision-Visions/release/847315

This one is nice to have (bought it recently) and still can be found cheap:

Rosko - You Can Go Away

On discogs the genre says "synthpop" but itreally sounds italo disco to me...

B.t.w. I wanna thank "kroko" (also on discogs) for tipping me on this one.

Tabu D'Apache - Colours
Parsifal - Carillon
First Cut - Tell Me, Tell Me
Tom Jackson - Rise Up To The Moon (Not really Italo-Disco as much as Synth-Pop, but it's a really nice song)
Ago - Computer
Jo Lewis - Hot Love

sandra robinson - music & motion

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BeIEtg1P7U

But on the record there is the dub version (If I well) which is really better then this version. Very similar but with little lesser vocal parts and no sax, just the good parts are kept, which is even more heavenly.
Well, depending on what you prefer of course.
A masterpiece, that's for sure, for a little price.

Here is also a nice euro track.. maybe a bit sweet but i like it.

For U - Highway to china

http://discogs.cinepelis.org/For-U-Highway-To-China/release/1038461

It could also fit in the topic " disco fox "German italo disco "

This tune rockx!

The Clocks - Wake Up

Buy it cheap.

Wake Up is indeed awesome, and definitely a great buy at only $4 (minimum).

I like these cheapo's but goodies also:

Real Corporation - All Of The Time

Hubert Kah, Limousine - not strictly italo but german italo wave (if such a thing exists) - anyway, yours for 50 cents! Or 1 euro if you want a nice 7" copy. Utter madness, this is a great track!
