FANCY, CONTACT, ORIG 1986 GERMAN METRONOME LP, ITALO / EURO-DISCO, EXCELLENT
Fancy – Contact
Manfred Alois Segieth, known as Fancy was born on 7 July 1946 in Munich. He
started playing guitar at the age of twelve. While attending a boarding school
where the enjoyment of worldly music was not allowed, he had to secretly listen
to the pop records of artists such as Ted Herold and Peter Kraus. At age 14, he
switched to the humanistic high school in Munich. During and after high school,
he worked in various bands as a guitarist and bass player, though he mainly
performed as a singer. He performed with these bands in numerous dance halls.
His career commenced in 1984 as a European-based pop singer and songwriter. His
role as a musician rapidly expanded as a producer, which lead to his music
receiving worldwide airplay. The international disco hits "Slice Me Nice" and
"Chinese Eyes" reached second place on the US Billboard Dance Charts and the
Top 10 USA Billboard for 1985 with "Chinese Eyes" and "Come Inside". Fancy had
a number 1 in Spain with "Bolero". A further nine of his singles charted in
both the top 10 and top 20 portions of the Media Control Singles Charts, this
mainly covered the German charts during the mid to late 80s.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM:
MINT: I very rarely use the mint grade. Only records that are still sealed or
records that even under the strongest of lights are completely unmarked. Also
covers that are unmarked/uncreased in any way and still look brand new.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is no
lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear
and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no
major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the
occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items,
without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably
deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and
contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration,
etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and
displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents
will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise,
etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a
collection-filler.
