Fred Ventura

*** Warning, discounted item! Dinged bottom left corner *** Fred Ventura was a drummer in various punk and new wave bands in the late 70s. He was also vocalist with State of Art, founded Free Zone Records, formed Italoconnection with Paolo Gozzetti and continues to serve up synth-infused disco, hi-NRG and Italo. 30 years ago, he dropped his biggest tune, 'The Years', which has now been remixed several times to mark the special anniversary. This 12'' pulls together four different versions, starting with the big, camp, stomping 'Extra Special remix', then the more synth-centric and bright Eddy Mi Ami remix. 'Wind Of Change' (remix '88) is a retro charmer, and the Michiel Van Der Kuy remix is all glossy arps and fun, cascading synth melodies. *** Warning, discounted item! Dinged bottom left corner ***
