Ottawan

With numerous pressings on LP and maxi-single, releases by the French disco group are regularly found among collectors. Different editions and formats from the early 1980s offer collectors a wide range of variants. Early issues of the international hits are particularly sought after.

Ottawan collector’s items & pressings

The focus is usually on LP and maxi formats, as many Ottawan releases appeared in different countries with varying cover designs and tracklists. In addition to the well-known English-language versions, there are also editions with French titles, which is especially relevant for collectors of international pressings. For the 12-inch maxi of "Hands Up (Give Me Your Heart)", some different mixes were used compared to the standard LPs. An original pressing of the major hits is therefore of interest for many collections.
