Hansa, 1978
Genre: Disco
This is another party classic, and made its appearance on Halloween. Who doesn't love a good dance to "Rasputin"?
I think this record is remarkable in many ways, not the least of which is the catchy tunes. The situational background is also interesting: A German musician brings together a group of Carribean performers to tour Europe, make a video in the Societ Union, sing in English, and record a record that will be a huge hit in the UK and North America. There's lots of fascinating layers of culture and history there.
