Finally on Mr. Disc Organization here is one of the great tracks from the early 80s, when the great keyboardist/composer and former Goblin (band most famous for their film scores including many for Italian horror auteur Dario Argento and for George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead) founder, Claudio Simonetti , was in his disco prime, leaving Goblin to pursue an interest in disco that led to much great Eurodisco by Italo Disco outfit Capricorn among others. We proudly present the quality remastered reissue of Capricorn’s hugely indemand Italo corker ‘I Need Love’ on limited edition and hand-numbered white vinyl.

This landmark track from 82’ with its fierce stripped down electro sound tore up the dancefloors of Europe and the US, becoming a classic and a full on smash hit in Chicago and Detroit where it was heavily influential on the early house/techno productions.
“I Need Love” from 1982 features Simonetti himself on vocoder in the 5:55 minute extended vocal mix on side one and a six minute and 12 second instrumental version of the song on side two.

“I Need Love”’s signature bassline makes it exceptionally funky compared to much of the more futuristic sounding tracks coming from Italy during this time. Its distinctive shuffling hi-hat intro and incredibly aggressive snare was a favorite for early beat juggling. The instrumental to this song remained popular with house DJ’s well into the late 80’s even after other Italo songs fell out of rotation as more music began to get produced locally. Today, I Need Love remains one of the more sought after tracks from this era.

Sounding as fresh as ever, this classic track is a complete must have for fans of the underground Italo sound.
