Love a cover done by a kid still in comp.. That would be one of those instant purchases without flipping it over to read the back of the cover. A double digits pressure sounds that I don’t have, that goes straight in the bag. Anyway: Edited May 10, 2020 by chrisp65 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted May 10, 2020 Moderator Share Posted May 10, 2020 You want crap cover art... If you can imagine... The Space Lady meets '70s / '80s German Electronics on a Casio Keyboard to celebrate the French Music of the '60s (and don't let the album title fool into thinking the lyrics are in French, oh no, it's mainly German, some French, some English) Thats about as close as I can get to describing this... Bonkers! Stereo Total - Ah! Quel Cinema! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 The CCS crew were proper stellar: John Cameron, Herbie Flowers, Harold Beckett, Alan Parker (twenty times the guitarist AK was) and loads of other top quality names. Very average, like the Martha Velez album in that respect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s from ‘76 but has nothing from Arrival on it. In fact there’s not much on there I recognise other than Waterloo and Fernando. I suspect it will be a rich source of material for Mamma Mia 3.

bickster Posted May 12, 2020 Moderator Share Posted May 12, 2020 Apologies I don't own this album, I'm *gulp* streaming it on SPotify. I do however own some of the tunes on it from compilations Little Annie - Short and Sweet Little Annie (Or Annie Anxiety in her Crass days and Annie Bandez on other days) on her only On-U Sound album Atypical On-U, great production values but no pumping bass and echo, no speaker swapping Not sure how I'd describe it... arty cabaret maybe or post-modern torch songs... Good album though, might have to try and source a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
