I am excited to present another Smylonylon tape on this blog. This is one of the ones that I did not have. A lovely man named Alan Miller contacted me on the e-mail on this blog and sent it to me out of the blue.
This tape is earlier in the series of Smylonylon tapes when the music was more moog and 60s dance. Starting with the tapes in the teens up to number 30 (the last one) the music was a lot more disco influenced.
There are a lot of amazing tunes on here. I have given you the option of buying many of the tunes on Itunes. I particularly like the tracks Hey Hey by Gershon Kingsley and the track Silver Fingertips by Paul Mauriat, which I have included as a download. I particularly am struck by how musical the tracks are in the sense that the musicians are clearly very good at playing instruments. It seems that music these days is all computer automated.
If want to particularly thank Alan for his generosity in sending the tape through. And also happy to know that he's inolved with Optimo, where he is PR manager. Check out his djing as DJ Hushpuppy here:
