"Arabian Nights" is one of the most stylish and funky Italo disco tracks I've heard. The members of Goblin (the Italian prog rock band famous for soundtracking numerous Dario Argento films as well as Dawn of the Dead) split in 1979 and a few eventually formed Crazy Gang. The group put out one LP which is highly sought after. But even before their 1983 LP, Claudio Simonetti honed his production skills with other projects like Vivian Vee and Capricorn (the self-titled track by Capricorn will surely appear in a future update if I keep this up long enough). The delayed drums and hard handclaps no doubt were a frequent soundtrack to lots of mid-80s drunken and drugged up European debauchery.
Discogs lists a bootleg pressing that came out this year so if you want to get this on vinyl without dropping well over $100, you have your chance for at least a little while.
