It's too bad there never was a Capricorn LP, although my failing memory tells me that I read/heard from Simonetti that they did create one but it was never released.<br /><br />The LP "The Best of Easy Going" is highly recommendable, IMO, as it contains short, remixed versions of the best songs in a non-stop mix along with snippets of other Simonetti/Meo productions.<br /><br />Also, if it isn't obvious, Easy Going, Capricorn and Kasso weren't real groups or artists, as they were essentially made up by Simonetti and Meo. The music for all of these (along with Vivien Vee) was performed by Simonetti with session musicians, sometimes even former members of Goblin, Fabio Pignatelli, Walter Martino and Derek Wilson. <br /><br />In fact, even Vivien Vee was a bit of a ruse. As I recall, the girl on the LP jackets was Meo's girlfriend, but she was not the singer on the records.izgoblinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20115328.post-43994670205485179032010-03-27T00:00:25.658-04:002010-03-27T00:00:25.658-04:00Would very much appreciate a compilation of his di...Would very much appreciate a compilation of his disco music, or at LEAST the ability to download it until there is an official release.
