SUSTAIN RECORDS POLAND *************** Distr. : PL - Style : reissue / SUST 818 LARA SAINT PAUL SAFFO MUSIC CD 04.2018 In 1977, Eritrean ingénue, celebrity, model, softcore actress and singer Lara Saint Paul journeyed from Italy to Los Angeles, California to record her sixth album, this time with producer/musician/singer Leon Ware at the boards and writing or co-authoring every track. This was a profound departure from her Italian easy listening/pop vocal catalog. With English song titles and an uncredited Quincy Jones assisting on prod., session men Ray Parker Jr., Jimmy Gadson, King Errison and Chuck Rainey on guitar, drums, percussion and bass, and backing vocals from the Pointer Sisters, this is classic and sexy disco/funk from the genre's peak period, with Afrobeat flavor bubbling over on the album's single, the haunting 'Voodoo Lady', and a sweaty, breathy undertone throughout. 'Disco-Music Nudo di Classe' was the subtitle on her feature in the May 1979 issue of Italian skin rag Playmen, which also could be used to describe this album. Classy naked disco.

Not sounding unlike the Whatnauts' or Norman Connors' late 1970's/boogie output at points, or a less-produced Rhythm Heritage for their technical prowess in a relatively raw context. Originally released on CIP Filmproduktions, a label more associated with film than music releases, the band is so tight it sounds as if they'd been culled from some library music session crew. The band's leader L. H. Tempelhagen and singer The Black Magic Lady have fallen into obscurity since this remarkable one-off release. First time on CD." https://www.forcedexposure.com/Product.aspx?CatalogNo=SUST.820CD =======================================================================================
