HAPPY RECORDS - A few albums

[Psyclon]

HAPPY RECORDS, a German label, have been brought to my attention when I was reading through some old threads. The CD albums are available on NICHION and I was surprised how well-produced these albums are. Especially "Disco Groovin", I thought I was listening to actual Italo Disco from ZYX music or something

These were once shared here, but Zippyshare.. their links expire faster than a yogurt. The NICHION files are V5 MP3 (128-150 kBit/s) and thus "fine/good", but if I could upgrade them and send them through a more modern version of LAME I'd be very happy (no pun!)

I'd be interested in:

* A JOURNEY THROUGH SPACE AND TIME (1995)
* MOSAIQUE (all albums, there are both two MOSAIQUES on LP and two MOSAIQUES on CD, so in fact, there are 4 Mosaiques in the end, which end up having each tracks I want. [Never had such a complicated affair and tagging difficulties, their "compilation" contains new tracks on the CD version of MOSAIQUE 2])
* FANTASY (1990)
* DISCO GROOVIN' (1988) Great Italo Disco/Modern Talking stomping sound! I like the "M" from Rüdiger Meng in Boney M-style on the cover!
* MULTI MEDIA (1988)
* BRAVO! WERNER DREXLER (1987)
* LA BELLE EPOQUE (1987)

And of course everything else up to 2000.

I do know you can buy them for cheap 15€/disc on their website, but I just need single tracks out of them and also don't plan to start a collection of physical media that would just collect dust, so it'd be an absolute overkill for me. If someone has these, I'd be of course also willing to donate a beer or two via PayPal to at least give a tiny bit back to the overall investment. (*PayPal address required, e.g. per PM)

I do hate to throw out such long lists but it's like fishing: Why using a smaller net and catch less when I could also try the big haul?

I think it was "DoThisLikeBrutus" who also kindly shared a 1983 album and it was also a treat for the ears!

I am sitting here like a dog knowing he's getting treats and his tail wiggling back and forth!

Awesome!!!

My offer still stands for PayPal btw. Since I collect MP3 and only few tracks, I can never give something really back, which irks me, because LMT is a staple of daily entertainment since August and I will look back in future on "that time when I collected all these treats" and what a special time it was; in a future where the mainstream thinks music is just what the megacompany like Spotify, the big labels, Amazon dictates them to have - but as long as this [forum/you members] exists, I will enjoy it to the fullest. There are Youtube channels playing music that is obscure/forgotten and if you have not been at the right time and the right place, you never know it. My music already fascinated a workmate and my family, and if I hit the right tracks, it's really enchanting. Like not driving the fastest way via Autobahn, but that moody forest road evoking feelings and emotions missed if just drive down the mainstream road..

My PM library is something I have closely to my heart, a real treasure. And refining it more and more with each track that is a great feel. I was playing a videogame a couple of days ago and shuffle'd my library music folder, the amount of audiotastic awesomeoness I already forgot that I caught (often downloading, liking, tagging and forgetting it) made me remember how much I owe you all of you guys and gals. I get kinda emotional writing this up.. Uff.

These are great albums John.  Happy Records is a new label for me and only had a couple of albums previously in MP3.  Slowly going to get through and have a listen to these today.  Thanks again !

[nidostar]

Thanks for these shares John. I'm looking forward to listening to these. I love the excellent quality of the German recordings of the 70s.
