This was HUGE at the club I went to (Charley's)...frantic,peak-time music,hit songs were "Everybody Loves a Dancer" and especially "Same Time, Same Place"-
was one of the better "Montreal/Canadian Disco" records at the time...
"Same Time, Same Place"has a really hard break to mix out of, unfortunately.
and the record cover's really cheap-looking; there was a 12" but, if I recall, it was the album version, with an instrumental b-side. Got played with the commercial Lime/Voggue stuff, along with the imported Italian/German productions from Unidisc/Matra (like Tantra, Peter Jacques, Passengers) and weirder stuff (Wonder's "Up and Down","Moscow Discow"/"Rock Around the Clock" by Telex)

Oh, The memories.....

I thought so too .....always a mystery to me why any artist/label/ producer would work so hard on the material itself and then contain it in packaging that won't help sell it . Both front and back .... she's got that Lena Horne - I'm mad-at-the-world - glare going on ...

... but what a lucious pair of looong gams !!!

She has a great voice too . I love the way they did the Cheryl Lynn type of multi- layering of her voice on MAKE ME FEEL as well as the way for a bit she goes into singing
make me feel, mighty real ...
before going back into the intended lyrics of this song 8-)

I think this LP was her only effort ..... which is too bad .

I love Tamara!

I think the 12 minute medley of "Everybody loves a dancer" / "Same time same place" is absolutely excellent; if I had to rank my favourites of all time this would be in my top 10. :-P
