ElectroShock Voltage 1 - Various Artists (1984)



This dodgy looking compilation from 1984 contains a couple of real boogie funk gems and some great early rap, like this:

Even Dead or Alive's ultra-camp electro-funk version of 'That's the Way I Like It' sounds pretty fresh. The tracks were all lovingly mixed together by Peter Rohmer who was a dj at the famous Hamburg discotheque, Trinity.

Track List:

The Jazzie Ladies - Blowin' Your Mind
Andre Cymone - Survivin' in the 80's
CD III - Get Tough
Was (Not Was) - Out Come The Freaks (ElectroMix)

Dead Or Alive - That's The Way I Like It
Herbie Hancock - Rockit
The Tribe - Jungle Rock
Herbie Hancock - Autodrive

Get it HERE.

At last, named and found them for me. You know how many times your trying to name that old 80s tune on that obscure compilation Grrr!

Fantastic, thanks and much appreciated.
