In the late 1970s, Italo disco was called spaghetti dancing and was loved but also ridiculed. A synth boogie masterpiece supported by funkiness. The vocals, with beautiful falsetto transitions, are also noteworthy.
Track List

In the late 1970's〜early 1980's, there was a strong bias that Italian disco was a poor copy of the authentic sound of the U.S. A lot of releases such as D.D. SOUND and KASH were released under the cover of being composed by Italian artists. D.D. SOUND, KASH, etc., were released under the cover that they were composed by Italian artists. This reissue of TOBA's first single "Make Your Mind Up / Don't Take It" (1981) is one of the Italo Disco treasures from this hidden era! A synth boogie masterpiece that blends the lively band sound with cosmic synth work and melody-making that can't hide Italy, and TONY BALCH's sexy singing voice that uses falsetto in different ways. Originally released on a small independent label "CONNECTION" in the UK, it is still a rarity. This is a rare opportunity. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
