Donna Summer - 'MacArthur Park Suite' (1978)
Contains cheese.
Is this the one that made up side 4 of the 'Live and More' LP? That was great! Don't believe I ever played the other three sides more than once. Is this a vinyl rip?
ReplyDeleteIt is that one yes, though it is brought to you today from this.
ReplyDelete£2.98!!!!!

Apologies if I have broken some blogger ethic by posting you this. I am new to this game. It's meant to be my way of saying thanks.

D. if I may say so, that is a fine way of saying thanks, and on your first peep above the parapet too! Moroderous!
ReplyDeleteEthics? English county NE of London??
PS: I am sure I am not alone amongst those of you who grew up in Britain during the 1970s in finding a certain section of Donna/Giorgio's 'MacArthur Park' eerily reminiscent of this...
ReplyDeleteThanks for this Davy boy. I was in a band back in the early 90s, our intro music was that very piece of music in that little linky. It's weird, it's gotten so many different layers of memory associated with it!
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, Jenny Agutter on the tv right now, An American Werewolf In London. Sorry. Had to share!
Nowt worse than soggy cake. I can get you a good deal on goretex. Vancouver grows the stuff on trees, dontcha know...
ReplyDeleteDang, now I feel love...
Was at a do yesterday and was wondering if we were going to be treated to another disco classic and once again you deliver the good.
ReplyDeleteMy mate's mother had this live album by Tony Christie and every time I went round his version of MacArthur Park seemed to be playing, fucking awful only surpassed by his rendition of Hey Jude.

Arf!
ReplyDeleteI must dig out the Richard Harris sometime...
Oh ooh Donna...Excellent stuff. Hope you are well, happy new year...oh and I have moved my blog to a new address, too...

ReplyDeleteThis is becoming the Donna Summer Appreciation Blog, although you'll find few of us complaining. She even made the new '76 Festive 50:

I did plan this to be the last, though I have to say that lovely track wxjltonight uploaded - which in all its Kraftwerk-esque Moroderisms and deep melancholy I like very much more than MacArthur Park - almost made me change my mind.
