Your Fun

Among the Italian discos of '70s and '80s that represented a cultural phenomenon that has remained in the collective imagination, Picchio Rosso stands out. 

Besides serving as a meeting place and entertainment venue for thousands of young people, it also served as a bridge between its DJs and many talented young musicians from the region.

The Formigine (Modena) discotheque was the laboratory for four Italo-Disco productions, all recorded at the Amin-Peck studios in Bologna, under the direction of Giancarlo Meo, who, after the successes of Easy Going and Vivien Vee and other Claudio Simonetti productions such as Capricorn and Kasso, enjoyed great esteem and prestige.

This is how excellent Italo-Disco songs like "Another Song" by Music Service, "Eve of Destruction" by Vivien Vee, "Boogaboo" by The Jugglers, and "Running Straight" by Amin-Peck were born, the latter being the true musical architects of Peecker Melody, including "Your Fun" by Modem.

What can be said about "Your Fun" and the instrumental "Valérie"? Simple, slightly hypnotic, well-constructed, and catchy songs.

Just as the two songs were mixed by various Picchio Rosso DJs of the time—Luca Zanarini and Silver were the most legendary—Best Record has reissued them, with the same cover designed by Leonard Parker and featuring Claude Gorial, the man who 40 years ago made the graphics of the original cover and the current reissue. 

Same names? ... yes! Same success!!!
