NOTES ON THIS VINYL RECORD:

Pretty obscure French only release of hard hitting eurodisco, discofunk and a touch of pop. Finding any documentation of this LP is slim to none. I had got introduced to this LP a few yrs or so back when I was working at a Phoenix club spinning the deep classic disco sounds, and my boss had givin me this record to play and I was blown away by 2 cuts! Took me a long time to find my own copy..but luck struck after few yrs of searching like a crazy guy lol.

My choice cuts off this were "My Life" and "If"..defenatly dance floor heavy material that works VERY well. The other 4 tracks are as follows:

Soraya Funk - hard hitting disco funk, very american sounding with broken english vocals

I Cant Believe - a non disco piano ballad..again, broken english sung..very Billy Joel like

Santa Claus - rock/jazz mid tempo cut with of corse..broken english lol..def dig the sax solo on this one

Get In Ghetto - kinda reminds me of the Jimmy Goings era of Santa Esmeralda..sounds almost like something that coulda been on the "House Of The Rising Sun" LP


If you ever come across a copy of this LP I would def recomend getting a copy, not just for collector purpuce, but for a nice diverse blend of the top sounds of the time and espessaly for "My Life" and "If".
