Persia - Inch by inch (1979)



The pretty cover you see above is an album released in 1979 by a previously unknown band Persia , with the same title. Additionally, it was released on "Casablanca". The first and the last. It's hard to be surprised.


Persia is a typical example of a rare, expensive, famous album that has only one, but a great number, which additionally did not come out on a single. Unfortunately, there are many such albums, and their prices are usually even higher than Persia (about 40- 50 dollars on average, which is not enough). The only solution to play the Inch by Inch albums at home and listen to this sexy vocal that Donna would not be ashamed of, is just releasing these several dozen bucks, waiting for re-release, or buying this invention :


Which will surely be a better idea, much better music for the same money.

All this does not change the fact that once all the cheap albums will be mine, I will buy it for 60 or 70 dollars for my collection, because it's nice to always have Inch by Inch in the original. And the cover is also nice. The rest of the album is not cool.

It does not change the fact that you now have an incredible opportunity to listen to over 7 minutes of " Inch by Inch ", and when you listen to dozens of times on a ripit, maybe thanks to you some copy of this album from foreign auction sites will disappear.

Let Me Be Your Fantasy - Love Symphony Orchestra

Image
The best thing about the end of the 70's was that everyone who wanted to be a part of society had to throw themselves on the disco wave.  This created many interesting, exciting or curious elements in the disco era's global record bank. Love Symphony Orchestra fits into the category of curious elements. At first glance, there is little special about this release. "Love," "Symphony" and "Orchestra" were common words in artist names. Here, even my personal opinion is that all releases that contain "symphony" or "orchestra" must be checked out as these often turn out to be delicious harmonic orchestral disco songs. Whether LSO ends up there, we will come back to. First to the curiosity. Like so much else in the 70's: telepathy, communist plans to attack the West and aliens, the Love Symphony Orchestra was not a real orchestra. In 1978, Penthouse Magazine (jepp, mannbladet) released a disco album (an idea that was later used by ...

Disco Lab (Halloween Edition): The Manhattan Transfer – ‘Twilight Zone/Twilight Tone’ (1979)

  Posted on  October 22, 2016   by  Mr. Groove Disco Lab #33 (Halloween Edition): The Manhattan Transfer – ‘Twilight Zone/Twilight Tone’ (1979) Sometimes disco was futuristic (robots controlled by the beat) and sometimes it looked to the past (New York high society steppin’ out to mingle). The retro vibe gave a boost to  The Manhattan Transfer , a swing-vocal combo formed in 1969 who found a surprise hit with the gospel number “Operator” in 1975. For a few years, the group’s retro ’20s-’30s sound struggled to have hit records in the US, though they broke through consistently in the UK. All this would change with the group’s fourth album  Extensions . One cut, the disco-inflected medley “ Twilight Zone/Twilight Tone ,” became a surprise hit for the group. It fused the trademark Transfer vocal sound with a spooky, mystical vibe.  Extensions  was released on Halloween, 1979, which meant that the diehard MT fans had a great supernatural dance party ja...
