roberto onofri odyssey - bad master, pressing, ...?

well what's the use if i can't play them because one side is scratched (ok, could still play it but need to mix in next track before the scratch) and the other wobbly like a battery operated belt drive portable turntable from the 60s...

if all copies show these issues at least i can sell/trade one of them...

jogi has a copy of it, and he's also on this formum, perhaps he can tell you more. also 4mat has a copy, but I think he has problems replying emails cos he never did to mine... I mean 4mat has mostly everything. You can also try scheul he also has huge amounts of italo, and he's way kinder...

also had 2-3 copies in the past...always the same defect, always the same scratch...
guess this scratch was made on all copies during the pressing procedure in the factory.
really bad and unprofessional...
probably they have pressed "Sensitive - Give me" at the same day in the same factory...
such a kind of "defect" you also will find on this record (A Side), the scratch and its "place"
is very similar to the one of the Onofri Vinyl! (towards the end of the track..)

i really wonder that Lombardoni did not decide for a new pressing, finally he paid money for it...
guess he did not think much of that matter and sold this stuff to the wholesellers...done! haha
same for this crappy pressings of Jaco...(just a handful of copies are pressed the right way)...
unbelievable...

I think that tells us a lot of how people considered italo disco in those days...

Hey mcr and jtr:
"life is strange" - well at least I think it a bit strange to see those eBay and Discogs sellers making lots of money by selling italo records to insane high prices....

>And annoying. Diggin is still free though
he he yes very true mcr

<Do you still look for records FD?
A bit strange also - back in the 80ies I really got EVERYTHING which I liked... back then.
But 25 year after other records are suddently hot.... I guess style change a bit.
- so yes now and then I find something missing in my collection.

Hysteric gave me a nice tip this summer and 3 weeks ago my good friend Jogi help me with a VERY rare italo record..

So that's what I love about italo.... it's just goes on and on

>btw: how's this movie going?
ahhh well unfortunally I had to postpone some shoots/takes yesterday at my house - due to some family stuff.

It's a really nice one and will be in a mix soon

ahhh thanks well one of my very first edit's - it was meant to the b2 track on the original Diskokaine release.
But then Gomma picked it up and the official release was with nice remixes by Patrick Pulsinger and Alexander Robotnick ... which is fully understandable.

So my little edit only exist on 5 or 10 test pressing

please continue this at the "am I gay" section...
