thanks for posting. I enjoy the instrumental B-sides which you never find on cd. Pierlugi Giombini is a master of melodic italo disco. hope you post some other songs of Gazebo or Ryan Paris.

This is a nice treat from you. I like these Japan vinyl pressings too, i have quite a large collection from those shores.

Thanks Paul 🙂

Thx Paul.
You should check “Midnight Cocktail” from Gazebo. It’s my favorite from Gazebo.

I’m a big Gazebo fan.
One of the few italo disco act who is really an artist.
Thank you very much.

Nice to see some Italo. Gazebo is a great choice. Wouldn’t mind seeing some of his other singles here!

I really appreciate the way you locate tracks that might fit in for Halloween. This will be great to check out. The only song by him I know, is “Masterpiece”, which is so good.

Thanks Paul for all the music you introduce!!

Paul, thanks for this – takes me back :-). But like Jeff – for me Gazebo will always be in the wee hours of the morning at the club when it was late late and the DJ was telling you things were winding down and he’d put the ever melodic slow groove of Masterpiece on.

Love Love Love Gazebo! Thanks for featuring “Lunatic”. Another great song of his but not so popular like “I Like Chopin” was the single called “Masterpiece” All three singles were played to death on radio stations in the Philippines at the time.
