Used 12" 1982
Disc:VG+/VG (scratch part at the beginning of Side A affect to clici noise but since it’s a long track, still get plenty of play, light tics on B side, check long audio clips)
Jacket:VG+ (small writing, parts where the lamination is peeling, not bad condition overall)
12” single in 1982 by American singer Andy Nelson, also known as Serge Ponsar, who had a long career in France. Both sides feature collaboration with Jean-Pierre Massiera, one of France's most talented artist (credited as Areisam, using the reversed name he used during production), making it a killer record. Side A features the addictive, melancholic disco dub track "Lady Angie" which unfolds with sound effects and vocoder vocals and Side B features "Bionic Eyes" which builds up to brilliant climax with its floating melody. As expected from Massiera, the timeless arrangement is a major highlight. There’s a scratch part at the beginning of Side A affect to tics, but since it’s a long track, still get plenty of play.
フランスで長く活動した米人シンガーAndy NelsonことSerge Ponsarによる82年の12インチシングル。両面でフランス随一の鬼才Jean-Pierre Massieraが共同制作で参加(楽曲制作の際に使用した名前を逆にしたAreisam名義)したキラー盤で、A面ではSEやヴォコーダーヴォイスのアレンジを利かせながら展開していく中毒性あるメランコリックなディスコ・ダブ”Lady Angie”、B面では浮遊感あるメロディを利かせサビのグッとくるヴォーカルで持っていく”Bionic Eyes”を収録。さすがのMassiera仕事な飽きの来ない構成もポイント高いです。A面冒頭にスクラッチあり音に出ますが長尺なのでまだまだ使って頂けると思います。
A - Lady Angie
B - Bionic Eyes
