Lou Marini played the Flute and Fluegel horn. Vocals by Diva Gray and Neil Sheppard. Voices by Lani Groves, Yvonne Lewis, Gwen Guthrie, and Randy Brecker (Blood, Sweat & Tears fame). The song, "Let me be your fantasy" was a key track, and became an underground classic.

| 7. Late 1982 Threshold-Mini LP Penthouse Records PR 2001-Mini LP Musicians: Jeffrey Jay Craig- Guitar Douglas Wayne Meador-Keys Jim Seneca Jensen-Bass/Keys Steven Earl Gardner-Drums Tonina Guccione Biggs Andrews-Vocals Jim Horn-Sax (Session Jazz Player) After the original LP failed to chart, or sell, or get played, Penthouse decided to cut thier losses a little, and issued this stripped down version of the original LP. It is thought the 6 strongest songs were put on this record, 4 as they appeared on the original LP, and two remixes, "Love Somebody (Street Version)" and "Night Flyer (Dance Version)". Apparently Threshold tried to carry on as a live band after Doug left the studio in 1982, but they didnt get too far. The novelity of Bob Guccione's daughter fronting a rock band must have worn off. There may have been some other single releases as well. Research continues. |

| 5. Oct 1980 We Are One-Caligula Love Theme PR 101-S 7" Single, "Special DJ Edition" 1) We Are One-Caligula Love Theme (3:22) A) We Are One-Caligula Love Theme-Dance Version (2:45) These are slightly different mixes than appear on the 12" Versions that come with the Soundtrack Album. The single was commercially released, and also sent to radio and clubs. Now that we know when this record was issued, I may take another look at Billboard, there still is a chance it could have made some inroads. |

| Nick "Chinga" Chavin was born in 1944, and put this collection of music together about 1975. It came to the attention of Bob Guccione, who decided to sell the LP and Tape through Penthouse Magazine by mail order beginning in 1976. They shifted over 100,000 units, and the single was also released as a promo to D.J.'s. "Cum stains on my pillow" is still a staple on some late night radio broadcasts. The LP was issued in Canada on Attic-LAT 1094, and in 1992 it was issued on CD with 4 bonus tracks. Check out Amazon.com |
