Billy Woost

Billy Woost - Body, Body Love on Best Record Italy (BST-X019) resurrects a once-obscure slice of 1977 Italian disco and gives it the deluxe 12" treatment it deserves. The A-side "Body, Body Love (Disco Version)" is pure dancefloor gold: a mid-tempo groove with silky strings, warm Fender-style keys and a bassline that struts rather than stomps, topped by Woost's smooth, slightly husky vocal. On the flip, "Please Touch Me" and "Sleep" deepen the vibe with more intimate, soulful arrangements that still keep one eye on the club. Best Record's remastering and loud cut bring this private-press rarity into sharp focus - congas pop, hi-hats shimmer and the low end has that rounded analog thump you want from late-70s disco. It's essential for Italo collectors, disco DJs and anyone who lives for those rare European boogie records that feel both glamorous and a little bit underground.
