fantastic quadro

- grosse orchester spielen welthits (1975)

....................

....................

this basf compilation is a mixed bag of mid-seventies instrumental pop, and it's a lot of fun. apparently the previous owner was "pop shop - rent-a-record" the mere thought of which gives me chills. the vinyl is a little battered, but as with many 70s lps the sound has remained in tact, and after a digital bath it's pretty darn good.

noteworthy tracks include all werner twardy numbers, peter thomas medleys (in a good way,) and my favourite, a lush seventies rendition of moon river!
