A Number Of Names – Sharevari

Or PM me if you want one pristine copy. Thanks

Shari Vari is really hip. The vocal and 1981 production has a really raw and live feel to it. Would have been amazing to hear fresh underground tracks like this in Detroit clubs and disco halls back in the day. Shari Vari and Cybotron Alleys Of Your Mind are the definitive Detroit electro party anthems.

It’s hard to top the original but the Eddie Fowlkes remix is the clear winner from this release. The vocal has such a different vibe in Eddie’s deep house version; deeper with lots of reverb which makes it sound more confident and sexy in comparison to the original recording which has the backing vocals higher in the mix. I am not too keen on house music but Eddie Fowlkes 'Techno Soul mix' works a treat in my bar sets.

There are other great versions and mixes too, Hacker & Vitalic's remix on Gigolo got hammered in my club sets. Its probably my favourite of all the remixes. I also love playing out The Dirtbombs 'Sharivari' post punk / rock inspired cover from their 2011 album Party Store. Recent covers from Aidan Noell with Nancy Whang and the more club focused version by Vondkreistan are also great. I hope this classic song keeps getting revisited.

PM me of you want buy this nice records!

Great repress sounds good considering the source material is already a bit beat up from the jump. goes off anywhere anytime

I have seen more than one crazy comment in this section, that the lyrics are corny, that they imitate Kraftwerk, that they are lousy, crazy! I think this record has its well deserved cult status. It was a song out of the ordinary in its context, I don't know much about musical terminology, but the atmosphere and the lyrics go hand in hand, it doesn't need more, and regarding the prices, I'd say it's simple supply and demand, it's normal that when this record was released it was worth a few cents and now that it has become an iconic record and something difficult to find, it is worth what it is worth

The cult status of this record is baffling. The groove is clunky; the recording quality is atrocious; the lyrics are cringeworthy.

Is it historically significant as an early precursor of Detroit techno? Sure. But is it a good record? Nope.

Funky ass, live techno bizniss
play the instrumental if you don't like 'cheesy' vocals, I think they're dope
production obviously has disco connotations, as per the era, like all the earliest hip hop, but whatever, it's tuff as hell!
hard to play the live synth riffs this fast [130bpm], hence splitting the riff into two halves, which to my ears makes it even funkier, as both halves go out of time in different ways
total corker

Since it was asked, but answered by people in a way I really can't understand: The sound quality is way from being decent. Aside from being one of the worst pressings I held in my hands over the last years, with obvious pressing defects like bubbles, not to mention the audible scratches and scuffs from bad handling at the plant, the sound is rather muddy and muffled and accompanied by constant background noise. Literally the worst record I bought in the last two years. And yes, it is definitely a bootleg, not an official record. No one should buy or sell this garbage.

annexxe is sadly right . . . overrated . . . :/

This used to be all over in the 99 cent bins 10+ years ago. Lol. Why does it take everybody 10 to 20 years to discover dope records
