Little Bit Closer"(12"/Spec.12"Disco Mix/
1977/Certainly on Salsoul...a very fine
version...and I really love her.I Do!!!)

when you say LEMON is a must have , your 200% right , i have this album that had been reissued on cd , and its a real must have for true discoaficionado....theres a lot of tracks that i never heard on your list .....will make more research....thanx......RU

Hi Sirius,

When you listed "Freak" by Lemon, did you mean "A-Freak-A" or is it another song? My fave is "A-Freak-A" (ooh, nice, so very nice....it's the joint....a-freak-a")

Classic at Trocadero and with another great cut on the other side--"Chance To Dance" on Prelude.

Marky,

I actually like "Chance To Dance" better, but both are great. Will have to play this again later tonight.

Forgot to mention that this group and release appeared on boith Salsoul and Prelude much like Kebekelektrik. The Salsoul 12" is on yellow vinyl.

[BrunoRepublic]

"Freak On" by Lemon is one of my all-time faves (this is the one that was released as a 12" on Salsoul). Short, but so much fun!

[sirius]

Dear Friends! On the B-Side of this fabulous
Album there is "Freak" with 4.27 but it
seems to be different or longer than the
7"-Version. It´s very strange but my LP
is released on CBS(!) 1978,but it´s an
Issue from Holland!

Sirius--

You mentioned the Charo track "Dance A Little Bit Closer". I have a cable station that is rerunning the 70's "Hollywood Squares" game show, and Charo was a frequent panelist. Have a few with her on tape. Cuchi-Cuchi!!

[sirius]

Dear Robbie!
I am really in love with CHARO...she´s so
crazy or better said: OVERRRRRRDRIVE!
I played "Cuchi Chuch"(12"-Version) on my
last radio-show...
Also I´m into "Borriquito", "Ole Ole", "Stay
With Me", "You´re Just The Right Size"...
Also to recommended is "Aranjuez Mon Amour"
= Instrumental.
I saw her on a video with "Dance A Little..."
in Las Vegas on the streets and since then
I am crrrrrazy about her!
