The long-awaited reissue of Toba is here! Pure disco funk including remixes by Dave Mathmos. Proper stuff! ''Due the image problems many early italian productions ''acted'' as if they were German, Swedish or American... Amin-Peck followed the trend of passing off their songs as foreign music on the intuition of their Roman producers. So Love Disgrace was released on 7'' by a label called Connection, which never really existed, created for the purpose by Giancarlo Meo, confident that this would bring success to the Bolognese duo who were already creating proto-italo disco tracks with a new-wave trend. To make the whole operation seem real, the London agency Ellie Jay Ltd. was involved, contacting Andy Fernbach of Jacobs Studios Ltd. The vinyl was also produced in the UK, otherwise the deception would have been discovered, then imported to Italy by Best Record. Italo-Disco was officially born after this, in 1982, not before! Everything makes sense now! Real events that actually happened and purely fantasy names and anecdotes. Just think, even the image of Tony Balch used for the cover of Toba was taken from Grand Theft's 1978 album Have You Seen This Band? and reproduced on the new redesigned cover, as were the heads of the other musicians. The idea of a real band called Toba had finally come to fruition and would lead to a second sensational success the following year. It's important to clarify what we've said above, but we haven't talked about Make Your Mind Up and Don't Take It and the two masterful remixes performed by Dave Mathmos. In short: with the original versions we'll make italo disco purists happy, with the remix versions we'll please new younger followers with more modern sounds and versions more in line with today's tastes and trends.''
