Rinder & Lewis - 7 Deadly Sins

[SandraDee]

As a huge Rinder & Lewis sound fan I've been intending to get hold of Seven Deadly Sins for ages & this week at last found a mint copy & bought it. How fabulous is this LP? So ahead of its time & it satisfies so many of my disco needs!:o There's a jazz-funk/r & b sound on some tracks & there's a track with a sequencer/early hi-nrg sound & it's all very well-played & produced as you'd expect. No doubt many of you guys are very familiar with this classic LP already; now I am too!:)

Always liked "Lust"!
Actually "Lust" received a second radio/club life in NYC around 88/89.

Totally agreed. Miles ahead of it's time. Anyone who thinks house was invented in 1986-ish has not heard this LP.

I'm also looking for this nice LP.
They had their own sound and a special pedigree according to their musical background (thx Berni for the great interview of Laurin Rinder BTW )

who sings on it? Does it sound anything like St. Tropez? Kinda unusual to see an album with the producer's faces on the front cover...

It's mostly instrumental, except "Envy (Animal Fire)" which IIRC is sung by Lewis, and "Anger" which has lots of grunting from Rinder.

[SandraDee]

On subsequent listens I have to say I'm not too sure about the 'Sloth' track as it reminds me too much of the theme from 'Desperate Housewives'!:???: The rest of the LP is fabulous though.

[SandraDee]

I've just noticed Bernie's copy says 1978 but my copy says 1977. Which is correct?:???: While I'm on the subject, my copy of the Baciotti LP says 1978 while Bernie's says '77! (the other way around!). My R & L LP is a US copy (AVI) & my Baciotti LP is a German copy (RCA).

[BrunoRepublic]

Mine says 1978 but it's a UK copy on Pye, not the original AVI.

[SandraDee]

I can understand the UK PYE release being '78 as the UK was often behind the US but the AVI copy on the A-Z section says '78! Maybe it had 2 US release dates.:-?

I have the Quality Records Canada distributed AVI LP.On the label it reads 1977 U.S.A.-AVI records and below that 1978 Canada-Quality Records

[SandraDee]

I'm really confused!:(

Hey SanDee ,

Take another look. If you're lp is like mine, the vinyl says 78 and the jacket says 77. Just thought I'd make your Sunday.

[SandraDee]

Hi Nicky. I'm afraid both the sleeve & label both say '77 but just hearing from you has made my Sunday!;)

[SandraDee]

Sorry guyz, I'm still gibbering on about this! I've just dug out my 7" Canadian copy of 'Lust' & it says '78!:???:
