    Question Solved: 70's or 80's music, less known band, please help to identify

    I have found an old cassette recently and so far everyone I knew and tried failed to identify the band(s)/songs. I have no idea which band could play these songs, what the titles might be etc. I think it is from the 70's or early 80's but not sure at all.
    As a matter of fact I am not even sure that these songs are from one or more bands.
    I made two mp3's, one from each side of the cassette. You will find these under:

    http://rapidshare.com/files/307082112/Casette2.mp3

    I would like to identify the groups playing and the titles if possible.
    For every help/hint I am very grateful.
    Thanks.

    Songs on cassette #2

    #1 is "Fear" by Easy Going (1980)

    #2 is an unholy disco mix of the lyrics from "Heartful of Soul" (originally by the Yardbirds) and the music of "Hot Stuff" by Donna Summer. I have no idea who created this version.

    #3 is "Devil's Reception" by Peter Griffin (1981).

    #4 is ?

    #5 is a disco version of the song, "Do Wah Diddy Diddy". The cover artist could be A La Carte or Sergey Kremenchenko.

    #6 is probably titled "I Just Wanna Dance" but I can't find any information on the song or artist.

    #7 is probably titled "I Gotta Go" but I can't find any information on the song or artist.

    #8 is "Woodland Rock" by Marc Bolan & T. Rex
    Them that can, do; them that can't... memorize Artist and Title

    excellent work atmaster.-

    let's not forget about cassette 1 now...

    clip from this polish trio aka 'dwa plus jeden' (i could not believe it they had this thing):
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=685nFB1QVCg

    #2 paul paljett - 'go by roller skate'

    #3 karen silver - 'hold on i'm comin'

    #4 roger - 'speedway motor-racing flying angel gang' [1979 one-shot from germany]

    #5 orlando riva sound - 'fire on the water'

    #6 peter griffin - 'hurricane'

    #7 queen samantha - 'mama rue (c'est moi)'

    #8 revanche - '1979 (it's dancing time)' [with then-twentysomething JOCELYN BROWN on lead vocals!!]

    #9 and last:
    Not sure about this last track on cassette side 1, he sings "I am the survivor" so chances are
    that it's Terry Scott Jr. from France who had an album of same name, with "Survivor" being the
    opening track! Alas, I don't have this one.
