Feb 16, 2007 | 5:19 pmMy copy is on PYE (same cover but with entirely black background.)
Anyone who enjoys the fully orchestrated sounds of early Giorgio will find pleasure in this ambitious project. sweeping strings (lots) ... trumpet... flute .... piano .... guitars ... including Isaac wah wahs ... and plenty of other assorted sound makers. Even the heavily accented male suave vocals get a (marginal) pass .
This is a blending ....a mid-way meeting of LOVE TO LOVE YOU BABY and TRY ME I KNOW WE CAN MAKE IT ..... (with bonus crashing ocean wave sounds) ....female sighs ....
"Why don't you come on over girl and see me. Come on girl. Right now. " ...."ahhh ... ooo ... ahhh... "...."Come on baby . Right: NOW" Cue in highly charged sax solo ..."ahhh" ....
Fun from beginning to end ...with lots in between to take notice of ....

Same Lp, but on French label Barclay, licensed from Hansa, the original recording label: the group is called JUMBO '76, and the LP is named: SEXY LADY, after a different track on the same album. Giving records different names depending on which market they would be released on, was a marketing technique supposed to lead record buyers more easily to the LPs containing the single tracks that were meant to launch the record. Here is a perfect illustration of this. Differences were mostly made between the U.S. and European markets, but that also happened among European countries. I remember Boney M LPs having different names in the U.S. and Europe. A different approach was to keep the same record name, but totally remaster and reorchestrate the tracks in the album, i.e. Queen Samantha's 2 Lp , with a totally nightclub-oriented version of "take a chance" in the Marlin (U.S.) edition, and a less extreme, more radio-oriented rendition on the Vogue/Atoll (Euro) pressings.

Ancient Eurodisco, but not without a wistful charm. Think back to that summer day in 1976 when you leapt through the glades with your love...and somehow ended up hung over in a strip-club!
The LP cover, which depicts a refugee from a skinflick, says it all! Still, the 17-minute "Turn On To Love" entertains with its bright, occasionally impressive string and horn arrangement. The rest of the album offers a few more eyebrow-raising hooks that are sample-ready, but don't quite erase the bad taste of the whole affair.
A big hit its day, and a big boost for a label whose great, dizzy years still lay ahead.
there is a 4 min version available of "Turn On To Love"
