I have a feeling that Love & Kisses were an amalgamation of various session musicians from the UK and UK based US session artists, the same girlies that were talking at the beginning on Cerrone's 'Love in C minor'.

That's my impression as well, especially about Love and Kisses.

I have always fantasized about those hot girls in the beginning of Love In C Minor. 8)

So far as I am aware, he formed the Love & Kisses project specifically for Barclay Records, France. I only have a Spanish copy of this disc which I bought in Spain, so I have no absolute idea of where it was released and when, but my impression is that is was on Barclay first, Casablanca second and would have been issued on an English label after it had been picked up by Casablanca.

Costandinos and Cerrone both fooled around, that is how Cerrone came out with Love In C Minor. The "C" stood for Costandinos.

This kind of post seems new for you Discoman? Usually your posts deal with either sex, drugs or lots of partying. I think the gay boys are 'rubbing' off on you....

No the gay boys aren't rubbing off on me. To each his own.
Disco was all about sex, drugs and partying.

ANYONE who wasn't heavily into sex, drugs and partying in the '70s wasn't there.
