Notes by Ben Liebrand
CD 2 (Form relaxed to energetic)

1 Grace Jones - La vie en rose 7:28 (original 12" version)

Miss Jones gathered a huge gay following right from the start. La Vie En Rose became an instant classic in the scene. just after a high energy section in the evening i'd play this and mix it to Jean Michel Jarre's Magnetic Fields keeping a packed dancefloor all the time. Talking about eclectic....

2 Change - You Are My Melody 6:24 (original 12" version)

Produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Change had one of it's last succeses in 1984. Jam & Lewis went on but unfortunately the Jaques Fred petrus Empire finally crumbled.

3 World Premiere - Share The Night 7:26 (original 12" version)

1983 saw this great funky laid-back dance track with great break and solos.

4 BB&Q Band - Genie 6:00 (original 12" version)

Change along with the BB and Q band originated from Jacques Fred Petrus, who was also responsible for the Peter Jaques Band. As it turns out . This beauty appeared in the last years of his reign. Although Jacques Fred Petrus was credited for production it actually was Mauro Malavasi who took care of that the most.

5 Aretha Franklin - Who Zoomin Who 8:36 (original 12" version)

A nice clean production with great vocals by miss Franklin

6 Deodato - Fire in the sky 6:48 (original 12" version)

A must in any collection featuring tight production and great vocals.

7 Peter Jacques Band - Going dancing down the steet 5:51 (original 12" version)

And a 3rd track from the Jaques Fred Petrus stable. The Peter Jacques Band was a studio project from day one. Subsequent albums used different musicians.

8 Earth, Wind & Fire - System Of Survival 7:41 (original 12" version)

This is E,W & F in the mid 80's. Tight production and great sounds. Samples, Vocoders and everything that dominated the dance floors at that time.

9 Jacksons - Walk Right Now 7:39 (original 12" version)

Frantic energetic and uplifting. tight sounding drums and synth sounds ahead of their time. Sirenes in the break and great stabs.

10 The 3 Degrees - The Runner 7:40

(rare funky long version)
The 8:13 Moroder sound version was still not to be found but I did come across this extended funky bass version which I had not heard before. Couldn't find any reference to it on the web, but it is cool!
