THIS IS NOT THE COMPILATION THAT IS RELEASED IN 2014 on HOW DO YOU ARE RECORDINGS: https://www.facebook.com/tooslowtodisco
After last year's "Laurel Canyon" Radio-dj-mix with 70's westcoast softrock, i was working on this follow up for ages. Now it's time to share part two of this unusual trip with you!
Here the L.A. softrockers return, it's the mid 70's now, but soon they find out they are 'too slow to disco' yet. By that time the california singer/songwriter suddenly got attracted to rhythm and slowly started to move their feet. this mix captures them shortly before going completly disco!
this time we find: an ex-Monkee (Michael Nesmith) rapping, a weird erotic christmas song by Georgie Fame, the 70s 'superfunky-studio-group' the Attitudes (who played on thousands of records), the long lost genius of Ned Doheny, the hyper-slick pop duo Alessi Brothers a.m.m.! Surrounded by the usual FM-jingles, wheather forecasts, commercial breaks by frank zappa, jefferson airplane, spliff (the nina hagen band), plus lots more other forgotten diamonds. enjoy and take the trip.
