Full Time
The rest of BeatElectric crew have been partying and DJ'ing for huge grips of euro in far off cities, and have likely been too wrapped up in their own hedonism to post all week. Thats fine though, because I'm unpopular and didn't get invited anywhere, and thus can hold it down. If you are a clownish self promoting band waggon jumping funk collector who likes harping on about how rare their records are, even when they are not, and can spell ok, then please, send in your resume to BeatElectric@gmail.com, as depending on whether I ever see BT Magnum, LeBaron or Kelley B ever again some spaces may have opened up.
Moving on..
FullTime Records has had a few different names over the years and operated many sublabels and is still in existence today. It was better known in the US throughout the seventies as Goody Records, and went on to distribute US produced danced records in Italy. It was home at one time or another to many of the Italo disco and boogie greats, such as Kano, Ago, Rainbow Team etc. Here is a selection of some of my favorite Full Time releases:
Rainbow Team - Let Your Body (Original Album)
Peter Richard - Walking In the Neon (Dub Version)
Vin Zee - Funky Be Bop (Instrumental)
J.R. Funk and the Love Machine - Make Your Body Move (Original)
J.R. Funk and the Love Machine - Feel Good Party Time (Original)
The Creatures - Dance of the Silver Girls (Album)
The Creatures - Kid Robot Dance (Album)
The Creatures - Machine's Drama (Album)
The Creatures - The Other World's Robots (Album)
Rainbow Team - Darling
Marzio Dance - Rap-o-Hush (Another Version)
Selection - bel On The Run
Selection - irit At The End
Peter Richard - Strange Desires (Instrumental)
Xenon - Symphony (Versione Dance)
Tom Hooker - Talk With Your Body (Instrumental)
C.A.U.T.I.O.N. - Ufo (Instrumental)
Ago - You Make Me Do It (Original Instrumental)

Too late, anonymous blog hater has already replaced me.
And for the record, I invited Black Shag out and even offered him a ride and got no response so don't feel too sorry for him.

Excellent collection; thanks for sharing!
That Maurice McGee track has a phase error - someone had the wires crossed on one channel. This can be corrected in a wave editor by inverting one of the channels.

Thanks for posting the JR Funk & The Love Machine 'Make Your Body Move' track, for some inexplicable reason I went for three decades without hearing it...I should have guessed the Full Time label would have something to do with it...they were on Italo-fire in the early-mid eighties.
I did notice you had posted the instrumental version of C.A.U.T.I.O.N.'s UFO track from 1981 - does that mean you have the vocal version??!!?? If so, what kind of degrading things would I have to do to get a rip of the vocal version? I am pretty broadminded.... ;)
