This Amazon label was a disco label, probably run by Bill Terrell, distributed by
TK Productions (not to be confused with Shelby Singleton's SSS International subsidiary Amazon that
had the hit "You, I" by the Rugbys). This Amazon label only released one album, along with one single
and one disco single (on T.K. Disco). The single, "Baia"/"Brasilian Hustle" [Amazon 9501] by the Alice
Street Gang (an instrumental disco funk band), was released in 1976.
The album and disco single were by Fantasia (featuring Peggy Santiglia), released in 1978. The
recordings were done in Philadelphia by Bill Terrell, and mixed at Sigma Sound in New York City. The
12" disco single, "Sweet, Sweet City Rhythm/Summer in the City" [T.K. Disco 102] was followed by the
album Sweet, Sweet City Rhythm [Amazon 400]. Peggy Santiglia was a former member of the
Angels, and was the lead singer on the 1963 worldwide hit "My Boyfriend's Back."
None of the three releases on Amazon charted.
The Amazon label (far left) was multicolored, depicting a fantasy forest, with black lettering and "amazon" written in red stylized lettering on the top half of the label. The 45 label (center) was similar in design. The title track of the album was issued as a disco 12" single on T.K. Disco (near left). |
