Chameleon
A totally obscure release from Youngstown, Ohio's Tony Lavorgna and his late 70's early 1980's band: The St. Thomas Quartet. Like many private press album's it's an ad for their set list, recorded on the cusp of cassettes and definitely pre-cd so strictly vinyl it is. A mixed bag of tunes and influences but two of the tunes absolutely leap into your ears.
A Hammond led Soul Jazz version of Herbie Hancock's "Chameleon" at nearly ten minutes that seems to just get more drivingly funky and intense …

The Cat Lady
The Cat Lady is Susan's story--a story of painful tragedy and cautious redemption, disguised as a horror adventure game. And it is at Susan's end that the story begins. The soundtrack is seasoned with specific compositions by several authors which emphasize different important events. The author is not afraid of mixing beautiful landscapes such as a bridge over a river at dawn or warm dusks over corn fields, with making us go into a horror circus that seems to never end. The impressive voice act…

Paisà Got Soul - Soul, AOR & Disco in Italy (1977-1986)
Compiled and conceived by David Nerattini partnered by Pierpaolo De Sanctis. Between the late 70s and the early 80s, pop music was in a transitional phase. After a return to the roots of punk, rock was morphing into new wave, while disco was rapidly declining and the electronic revolution, already on the rise, was ushering in the transition from analog to digital. This period also saw the emergence and relatively brief flowering of a commercially dominant style that mixed soul influences (especi…
