Another super rare disco piece reissued! Robert Cotter’s Timeless is one of those records that just never comes up in the field. Originally released back in 1980 on the collectible Italian Derby label, the album bounces between disco, italo, soul and funk, and manages to pull off each style with panache. From the pumping disco beat and awesome pianos of the title track “Timeless” to the mean italo rock attitude of “Rock With Your Love,” you can already hear why this is such a sought-after piece for the deep disco heads, but throw in the feel-good soul groover of “Everything I’m Living For” or the laid back “Love Remains” and you have an album that’s equally useful on the floor and in the headphones. Cool pic sleeve too.
