Info for Save Me (Remastered)

Expanded reissue of the 1975 Eurodisco classic and global sensation. Includes the Grammy-winning #1 hit “Fly Robin Fly,” plus “Save Me,” and five bonus tracks.

Silver Convention (named after songwriter Sylvester Levay’s nickname of “Silver”) was formed in Munich, Germany and burst onto the music scene in 1975 with their recording of “Save Me”—a track originally sold into 16 countries (including the US) at MIDEM, the global music business conference. It became the title track of their debut album, which hit #1 on the Billboard R&B chart and #10 Pop, introducing the world to “The Munich Sound,” which would soon be known as Eurodisco.

The album’s second single was the smash hit “Fly Robin Fly.” It not only topped the disco charts for three weeks, it did the same on the pop charts the following month. The single sold over one million copies and was award a gold disc by the R.I.A.A. in December of 1975. It became the band’s signature song, winning Best R&B Instrumental Performance at the 1976 Grammy Awards.

Omnivore Recordings, in association with Good Time Records, is proud to announce an expanded reissue of this classic debut. Save Me returns with five bonus tracks, including both commercial and promotional 12″ mixes of songs including the ubiquitous “Fly Robin Fly.” Packaging features the original international cover art (with the US artwork replicated inside), a 12-page color booklet featuring photos and ephemera, and new, insightful liner notes from writer, Joe Marchese outlining the genesis of the project and the global hit record it became.

Silver Convention
was Germany’s leading disco group and also the leading female trio during the 1970’s. The impression they made on the charts during their relatively short time span as a group is remarkable. The ladies who formed Silver Convention also had solo careers – and in November this year, it will be 40 years since their chart topping classic “Fly Robin, Fly” topped the hit lists all over the world. They released 5 great albums, did some one-off singles and the three ladies all continued working after the group disbanded.

Originally being just another studio group, Silver Convention was actually formed after their first single “Save Me” had seen some success. Penny, Linda and Jackie Carter then sang the six words to “Fly Robin, Fly” – and this robin certainly could fly! No one was even prepared for what happened next, as the song took off and turned into a major disco hit. The song topped all the major US Charts (The Hot 100, the R’n’B Charts and the Dance Charts) – making Silver Convention the first German act to achieve that feat! They also won the 1975 Grammy Award for best instrumental recording. Jackie Carter had left the group at this point, and had some solo success with her own hit, “Treat Me Like A Woman” – and former child star Ramona Wulf stepped in to fill the empty spot.
