Medina Records

French electronic LP issued in 1979 (although my copy is a UK pressing from 1982). It features the glorious ‘Cercle’ which is electronic funk at it’s finest.

Jacno – Cercle

It took me years to find this album after being introduced to the UK bandleader’s rather excellent version of ‘Light My Fire’ on a ‘Phase 4′ sampler LP. Whilst the tracklist isn’t hugely inspired, the arrangements and playing are spot on with much covered ‘Spinning Wheel’, ‘Honky Tonk Woman’ and the aforementioned ‘Light My Fire’ all hitting the right spots. That said it’s the less likely cover of 5th Dimension’s ‘Don’t Cha Hear Me Calling To Ya’ which really dazzles.

Ted Heath – Don’t Cha Hear Me Calling To Ya

Ted Heath – Spinning Wheel
