Susana Estrada – Mi Chico Favorito [7″ LP]

The end of the dictatorship in Spain ushered in a period of openness that included a kind of sexual revolution, in which the female body was shown nude in magazines and films in a way that had never been seen before. Susana Estrada — model, actress, and singer — became one of the country’s most popular sex symbols after appearing in numerous films of the so-called “cine de destape” (softcore Spanish cinema of the ’70s). Meanwhile, Josep Llobell was a Catalan musician, composer, and producer who pioneered the introduction of cosmic disco and Italo sounds to Spain. Bringing these two figures together gave birth to this erotic disco project. Amor y libertad, their LP released in 1981 on the Sauce label has since become a cult recording within the international cosmic disco scene. From this album, Vampisoul have selected two of its finest tracks to be reissued for the first time on a 45.
