    I recently picked up a copy of the Celi Bee LP that has that great 14 or so-minute medley on Side 1 that includes "Fly Me on the Wings of Love" and "Midnight Passion." I LOVE these types of records--lushly orchestrated with strings and horns, romantic lyrics and all tied together with an intro and an epilogue.



    So I'm wondering if anyone can recommend any similar sounding records? I have the "Romeo and Juliet" opus and, of course, the most shining example ever of a medley, "MacArthur Park Suite."



    Medleys by Grace Jones (with Mr. Moulton) come to mind at the moment, as well as First Choice and Fever.



    I'd appreciate other recommendations. Thanks!

    Almost everything by Boris Midney.

    Another great LP is by Love de Luxe ("Here comes that sound...")

    Ok, here's some Barbara Cartland romantic disco for ya, my pal:



    What about "Midnight Love Affair/In The Morning/Lie To Me" all mixed together and bookended by "Carol's Theme" by Miss Carol Douglas?



    Do ya have it?

    John Ferrara's WUTHERING HEIGHTS (featuring Angie Bofill on backing vocals) might be an example of what you're seeking, albeit a tad "harder" sounding.

    Madleen Kane's "Cheri" sounds right for this. Side 1 is "A Jim Burgess Mix" of FORBIDDEN LOVE/FIRE IN YOUR HEART/CHERI/SECRET LOVE AFFAIR.



    I believe there is a CD available out there that maintains this format.

    You might want to consider the "Ultimate" tape with Touch Me Baby. I have a strange feeling it may not be available on CD much longer either...going into cut-out like "Beautiful Bend".

    Try D.C.LaRUE "Confessions" and "Forces Of

    The Night"(both LPīs).

    - GIORGIO"Knights In White Satin"(LP/1976)

    - MICHAEL ZAGER BAND"Lifeīs A Party"(LP/79)

    - GRACE JONES"Portfolio"/"Fame"/"Muse"

    - DONNA SUMMER"Once Upon A Time"(2xLP)

    - SEVENTH AVENUE"Midnight In Manhattan"(LP)

    - Some RITCHIE FAMILY LPīs like "Brazil",

    "Arabian Nights", "American Generation"...

    There are so many superlong-medley-versions

    from the 70ies.

    And certainly donīt forget CERRONE or ALEC

    R.COSTANDINOS.
