This Crystal Grass featuring Steve Leach record's credits almost read like the who's who of French disco (excluding Alec R. Costandinos and Cerrone of course)

Raymond Donnez (Don Ray) is co-arranger and on keyboards;
Marc Chantereau (Voyage) is on percussion;
Leroy Gomez on saxophone (solo singer and with Santa Esmeralda)

The LP itself is variable; it contains a mix of disco, pop, funk and ballads. Highlights for me are the fast and frantic "Fio Maravilha - Taj Mahal" and the mid-tempo number "You Can Be What You Dream".
