Peter nero

[mundayschild]

Found a load of lps by this geezer (i nearly got some of 'em for the covers alone),can anyone reccomend any good ones or, is his music sadly lacking the required goods??, some of them seem to be awash with covers, whilst the later one's feature more of his own compositions. Any help would be mint, nay superb!. Thanks.

munday mate, you must of bagged the one with "This is Soul" on it Full on Cheese but a party rocker for sure with a bangin fookin break

[Lord Thames]

Wasn't 'This Is Soul' by Paul Nero, aka Klaus Doldinger?
I have to admit, I get the two of them confused all the time!

Towny, i think i'm sufferin' from the same problem as our mate Mr Thames, i keep gettin' the two confused, fook!, now i'm even more fookin' confused!! (admittedly it don't take a lot).
Anyway i just really wanted to know what the geezer's music's like cos, as staded b4 some of the covers were well trippy!, (one of 'em was called 'Peter Nero Now' or something,
anyways theres bin a pile of these 'ting's in a charity i frequent, an i saw them again yesterday, whilst on a trawl of loads of shops, and thought hmmmmm........

[TOWNY]

Hehe, Peter Nero is the dude with the overly groomed beard then yeah ?! Looks well dodgy to me, like some psycho fookin' Swedish porn Baron thats got strange habits - kna mean, he seems to have a twinkle in his eye and a chuffed as fook grin

Prolly some heat there somewhere

[mundayschild]

yeh!, thats the doobie mate!, did a quick net search 'an apparently one of his lp's is in the rare lp's 'for sale' section of Jazzman Gerald's hallowed pages (on the Liberty label), for around 20 sov's, so the fooker must have the funk/breaks somewhere??, and he does look like a fookin' John Holmes wannabe!

[TOWNY]

Go grab the fucker

[mundayschild]

Fook yeah!, half a dozen or more, at a quid a pop!, fookin' right bro', fook!, aaarrrgghh, more 's to listen to.

There's one of his called "Disco & Love Themes of the 70s" or something like that which is okay... sleeve is a rather bad painting featuring, of course, a tender rendering of that gruesome visage.

It's not great, but it's good enough for a quid. Has an original called "Soul Ballet" (?&#33 on it which from memory is pretty okay if a bit slushed up in parts. I think there's a cover of Superstition on it too which is a rather amusing arrangement.

He also has a Movie Themes one (can't remember the name, has a green sleeve with film frames of his malign little satyr face) with some Hair tunes on it which would be good if whoever did the mixdown hadn't been such a circus clown (i.e. drums are quiet as). I wouldn't bother with that one.

So that's the only two of his I've ever picked up anyway...

[Nuts]

Most of his stuff (that I've got) is pretty cheesy, but he has a decent version of superstition and some other songs I can't remember (I think it was the lp with him in a tight brown leather dress and a huge schlong down his thigh).

Don't forget his version of "Soulful Strut". It's quite funky.

klaus doldinger's AKA is PAUL nero...

are peter and paul the same guy?

[Funky Tee]

I'm a little bit confused here.. Klaus Doldinger and peter nero is two different guys.. Nero is born in Brooklyn and Doldinger in Berlin...

[Lord Thames]

Klaus Doldinger is also known as Paul Nero.
Peter Nero is Peter Nero.
The two of them are very easy to get confused, as this thread proves.
