MUSIC REVIEW & RECORD COLLECTOR NOTES

This is a test pressing of the Cerrone "Love in C Minor" LP from Presswell Records. The fascinating thing about this is that it's the full-length "censored" European mix of "Love in C Minor" -- not the 14:57 mix that appeared on the final US LP! This mix runs well over 16 minutes, and has about 1:35 of female chatter at the beginning at the track... not like the abrupt opening of the US LP.

    The above record is a Cotillion LP test pressing, bearing the number assigned to the commercially-released LP. The first appearance of "Love In C Minor" was on an Atlantic yellow-label 12" promo DSKO 86 in 1976. Over the years it has retained its status as Atlantic's singularly rarest promotional 12", likely available in test press status with only a few copies actually manufactured.

    In 1979, Atlantic used a 10-number promotional 12" number run (DSKO 173 through DSKO 182) to release what is referred to on each of the labels as "DISCO OLDIES."

    DSKO 181 contains a condensed, more manageable 7:40 version of "Love In C Minor" (14:57 on the LP) b/w a 16:44 version of "Cerrone's Paradise" (16:30 on the LP).

    DSKO 182 contained "Give Me Love" (7:42, 7:36 on the LP) b/w "Supernature" (10:08, 10:10 on the LP).

    Labels in this series were printed tri-logo, Atlantic ATCO Cotillion. Promo copies are white with black print; commercial copies pink with black print. Trammps, Boney M and Barabbas were also featured in this double-sided 12" oldies run.
