I'm wondering whether this guy has done anything other than what's here: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Amin+Peck. I want more!

I have the Girls On Me 12" on Connection, with Anxiety and Coda on the B side. It's one of my most cherished 12"s. I haven't heard Suicidal, but I didn't like Running Straight as much. I think this is all he has done; although I've heard a lot of Italo artist aren't really who the name impiles. Artist like Joe Yellow and Den Harrow were actually Tom Hooker, or something like that. I don't know of any other name Amin Peck recorded under, but I wouldn't be surprized.

Here is something I found on the 80's Italo Disoc POX thread, written by Dan Selzer: "That Amin Peck single is one of my favorite 12"s of all time. Girls On Me, Anxiety(which has vocals) and Coda, which Alec ended his Italo DeRuggierio mix with. I think Selway edited Anxiety, there is no instrumental/dub version far as I know. They have 3 other singles, Suicidal, which is wonderful, Running Straight/My Frames which is ok and I kept getting beat on ebay for it, and apparently a self-released 7" that went for like 200 bucks a few months ago."

I found that Italo DeRuggierio mix on slsk, and I have been looking for some of the song on it, Don't Leave Me Now (Intrumental Version) by Mike Marreen? Was this an official realise, is there a vinyl copy somewhere? Sorry to hijack your thread.

The Italo DeRuggerio mixes were unofficial, self-released CDs, there were two volumes last I checked.

Running Straight has grown on me, but it's flip, My Frames, is the keeper...a slow, beautiful song. And as of last week, I STILL keep getting eBeat on it...

They are two guys, though I know a friend who says the people who produced them did other italo-disco records. I think they're a pretty unique band.

Artist like Joe Yellow and Den Harrow were actually Tom Hooker, or something like that

joe yellow/delanua/sylvi foster/bob salton = all aliases of domenico ricchini.
"den harrow" was usually tom hooker on vocals + a more palatable-looking prettyboy named manuel zandri lip-synching at performances, tho silvio pozzoli sang on some tracks under that name also.

if any italo 12" deserves the reissue/bootleg/other-avenue-of-mass-availability treatment, it's definitely "girls on me"

I've done what web research I can of the names related to Amin Peck. If anyone has any leads, please point me in that direction. Maybe they'll google themselves and find this thread! Hey Amin Peck, let's put out a CD/vinyl compiling all your songs!

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Monday, 29 May 2006 15:53 (nineteen years ago)

Please compile them all! (Also, hijacking is totally okay in the case of this thread)

"Girls on Me" and "Anxiety" are among the more perfect italo tracks ever-- it's a goddamn shame that it's impossible for someone who isn't flush with cash to get an original. I'd pay $100 (in a couple weeks, when I'm not scrounging around my friends' houses for loose change and bumming cigarettes off of bums)... or even more, but not too much more.

I didn't like "My Frames" at first, but it's grown on me the past week or so. "Coda" is a little too sleepy for my tastes. Is there any way to get "Suicidal"? No one seems to have it on s1sk, and I'm dying for more of this stuff.
