EXTREMELY RARE
ITALO PUNK/NEW WAVE/DARK - ORIGINAL PRESSING, STILL NEW - one of the rarest Italian LPs
RARISSIMO LP 1981, NUOVO, MAI SUONATO
stampa originale,
"l'album di esordio C'est disco (1981) cofinanziato da Red Ronnie e dall'Italian Records, prima registrazione master a 8 piste "garage sound" a cura di Oderso Rubini, con la prima formazione composta da Claudia Lloyd (Claudia Baracchi) alla voce, Franz (Francesco Monti) al basso, Wilko (Ulderico Zanni) alla chitarra e Leo (Graziano Leonelli) alla batteria. L'LP venne poi mixato per l'uscita da Claudia Lloyd e Gianni Gitti. Il disco, in tiratura limitata e con una scarsa distribuzione in Italia, fu presto introvabile ma, primo caso italiano, raggiunse i mercati esteri di Gran Bretagna, Olanda, Belgio, Germania, Austria e Svizzera dove, sorprendentemente, venne esaurito in poche settimane probabilmente perché John Peel, il noto DJ della BBC, propose il disco all'attenzione del mercato. Questo rende ancora oggi C'est disco uno dei veri dischi rari del rock italiano."

Nice Label / EXpanded music, Produced by Super Oderso Rubini
Founded as Sextons in 1979 in a small town near Modena, Emilia Romagna, they changed their name to Rats, hired a young female singer – Claudia Lloyd – and made their live debut in 1980, soon establishing themselves as one of the most interesting act nationwide and drawing the attention of Gabriele Ansaloni aka Red Ronnie, a dj, agit-prop, pop entrepreneur and key figure in the last three decades of Italian music history, who co-financed their first LP.
C’est disco – recorded by the label’s founder Oderso Rubini and marked by the voice of Claudia – effectively captures their early darkest moments and their dance-punk attitude, while contorting themselves and screeching alongside Siouxsie and the Banshees, Malaria!, Bauhaus, Bush Tetras, Glaxo Babies, Au Pairs, Ludus, Chrisma, and obsessively evokes the unhealthy atmosphere of a sleazy, outlying night club.
Songs from the album were aired by the great, late John Peel, leading to a small and short-lived success accross Europe. Claudia Lloyd left the band shortly after the recordings of an unreleased follow-up to the first full-length, tentatively titled Tenera è la notte (“tender is the night”).
The C’est disco line-up also appeared with “Tattoo” on the legendary double album Mission is terminated /Nice tracks, which featured four tracks by Throbbing Gristle and a cut up of songs by italian post-punk bands and excerpts from movies, interviews, radio broadcasts, field recordings, etc., released as a supplement to Red Ronnie’s magazine “Bazaar” in 1983.
