Alec R. Costandinos, Cerrone) NOTES ON THIS VINYL RECORD:
- I will start out by saying that "Love In C Minor" by Cerrone is one of my favourite Disco songs of all time (right behind Love Insurance by Front Page). This is what made Euro-Disco what it was going to become. It was a trend setter.
Everyone involved in this later became staples in the Disco field; Alec R. Costandinos (Romeo & Juliet and Love and Kisses), Don Ray (Got To Have Loving), Alan Hawkshaw (Love Deluxe) and of course Cerrone (Supernature).
Up until the release of this record, much of Disco in the US was of an R & B background (Trammps . . . ). Now the world was being introduced to lush euro-style string arrangements with music that just flowed on and on. This British pressing contains the complete intro of the banter between three woman at a club discussing Cerrone's interest in one of them. In addition this is the original uncensored cover not found on the American version of "Love In C Minor (with the tattooed hands). This, the British version, is the only version to have and worth holding out for.

Canadian pressings of this album on Atlantic contain the opening dialogue, although it has the "four hands" cover used on the USA release.
The Unidisc CD of this is a bit of a hatchet job. Apparently the tape they got for it didn't have the intro dialogue, so they lifted it from a cassette and tacked it on. It sounds quite muffled in comparision to the rest of the track.

The version of the "the best of Cerrone" album sounds quite good.
It includes the intro and I agree that is one of the finest disco songs of all time.

This is the first EURO-DISCO song. It showed the world that in Europe DISCO was alive and strong. CERRONE became a legend thanks to this work. Look at the cast of DISCO ICONS behind him, it is a WHO'S WHO of early DISCO. I loved it, so did the Dance Floor. Easy to mix, fantastic to play with and create your own re-mixes. The U.K. version had an extended intro, like BERNIE said, it involved a pick-up at a DISCO. I loved this version, but owned them all! And there were at least three different versions. This is a DISCO CLASSIC, and gets a very easy TEN on my scale from 1-10.
