The last track is "Rock and Fire", by Le Pamplemousse, from the "My love is burning up" Lp, on AVI Records, released in 1981. This LP was one of the last of the Le Pamplemousse/El Coco series, by producers/composers/arrangers and percussion/keyboards players Laurin Rinder and W.Michael Lewis. You might know "Le Spank" from 1977, also by Le Pamplemousse. That was a successful (more) upbeat track back in the time. The "Le Spank" LP also contains "When she smiles", one of my favorite mellow tracks, worth getting. There were quite a few original sealed copies of both LPs circulating about 5 years ago.

My Love Is Burning Up is much harder to find. It didn't sell well (if it sold at all -- are there any copies of this that aren't promos?).
In contrast, Le Spank is relatively easy to find. It sold pretty well in the day. It's a much better album that My Love Is Burning Up, although the title track is an obvious ripoff of Barry White's "It's Ecstasy (When You Lay Down Next To Me)". And yes, "When She Smiles" is a great number as well.
The sleeve for Le Spank was rather risqué, so some copies have a black border covering up much of the picture on the cover. Also, some pressings have a mastering flaw that causes the volume in the left channel to fluctuate during the first song.

-My Love Is Burning Up is much harder to find. It didn't sell well (if it sold at all -- are there any copies of this that aren't promos?).

-Actually, both copies I have are originals, and common issue blue-labeled AVI pressings, not promos. The first one I bought was sealed, and had warped with time (and extreme heat). Hence the 2nd purchase.

[BrunoRepublic]

Yeah, I've been burned by sealed copies that turned out to be warped too. With a lot of post-1980 AVI releases, the only ones I ever see are white-lable promo copies, save for one copy of El Coco's Revolucion.

thanks! anybody wanna try to take a guess on the other songs ?

The percussion on the first track reminds me of the AKB album on RSO from 1979. Unfortunately I can't check now..... someone?
