  • Description

    Within a year of her ground breaking Double Album "Bad Girls" Donna Summer left Casablanca Records to become the first Artist signed to the new Geffen Records label

    "The Wanderer" was the first album released on the label

    Legendary producers Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte remained at the helm

    With standout tracks 'Looking Up'Up',,'Cold Love'Love',,'Who Do You Think You're Foolin'' and ' Nightlife',,"The Wanderer" continued Donna's creative output

    "The Wanderer" was released the year after the 'Disco Demolition Night' event, which was held, ironically, two days before 'Bad Girls' became a US 1 single and despite introducing more rock infused dance/pop tunes copied by many Artists through the 1980 s the album which despite being another US Billboard Top 20 album with a 3 Single has been under appreciated until now!

    At the same time, the Italian American aggregation, Change broke out from the clubs and into the charts worldwide, with their sublime, slick and classy productions, which also featured and introduced the wider world to Luther Vandross

    For this 40th Anniversary edition,"The Wanderer" has been re evaluated and now fuses together 1980 with 2020 showcasing the strength of the album's songs, with brand new remixes by the Italian production team behind Change and Artist/Producer/Remixer Le Flex

    After years of silence, in 2018 Mauro Malavasi and Davide Romani resurrected Change with an album that retained their classic sound but with a contemporary twist, produced and mixed with the inhouse production team, Figo Sound who were invited to remix two of Donna's tracks

    Figo Sound has created two contemporary radio friendly tracks, with 'The Wanderer' retaining its shuffling beat and 'Looking Up' which firmly plants Donna Summer back on the Dancefloor!

    With more than 30 Million YouTube streams, this is the year where internationally successful Artist/Producer/Remixer Le Flex gains mainstream recognition, as his two remixes inject his summery poolside vibe into Grand Illusion' 105 000 Spotify streams in 10 days with ' a track also
    previously unreleased as a single, receiving his nudisco floorfiller stamp

    This re mastered re issue, packaged in an A 5 Mediabook, contains newly authored liner notes by noted US writer Christian John Wikane, with brand new interviews conducted with Pete Bellotte Harold Faltermeyer Bruce
    Sudano Tom Kelly, Figo Sound Le Flex as well as his archive interview with Carmen Grillo and Donna Summer
