Tracklisting:A1 The Grand Tour A2 Let's Go Boating A3 Still I'm Sad B1 Flight From Versailles B2 Late November B3 California Dreamin'
I call this pretty disco - reminds me of the days when I was trying to figure out, "what this disco music was." Great arrangements - for "disco dollies" definetely. Bu the producers amazingly also produced,

* THP Orchestra - all 3 great projects: "Two Hot For Love", "Tender Is The Night" and "Good To Me" (1977 - 1979)
* The Duncan Sisters - the LP and the 12" "Too Damn Hot" (1979)
* Sticky Fingers (1979)
* Ramming Speed - "When You Walk In The Room" (1983)
* American Fade - "I'm Alive (Let's Move On)" (1981)
* Hazell Dean - "Evergreen"/"Jealous Love" (1983)

They had some incredible productions with great arrangements - and their crossover from pure disco in the late seventies to high energy in the early 80's was flawless. I believe these were a great pair of disco producers! Check out Grand Tour for disco's early formulation.

I love the introduction to this, and you have improved it 110 ten percent.
The new intro is so nice and gives it a much needed lift and made it soar to new heights.
Thanks for doing such an OUTSTANDING JOB, Glenn !!!!!
