"Superbly bizarre and little-known French disco production, well worth tracking down.The title track is the most appealing to these ears. The lyrics start "Dancing in Cairo, Everywhere you go, Heavy perfume flows, In Cairo...". After 2 minutes the disco tune blends into a syncopated flute-driven middle-eastern sound, and then back out into a gorgeous alto-sax solo, before returning to the main tune.Disco cover versions of Mamy Blue, and the Spencer-Davis Group's "Keep on running" also appear on the LP.The mid-tempo track "A love at first sight" seems familiar but I can't quite work out why! Very good though.The final track "I wanna go home" has a spelling mistake in its title as it should be "skipped by two", which is based around some kind of playground chant.Just to complete the package, the LP has a quintessentially 70s front and back cover - they just don't make 'em like that anymore!"

you have to unzip the folder and then put all the tracks into a new folder, that worked for me, since at first I couldnt listen to track 1 neither.

Hey! This is an absolute delight. I haven't heard this since I did it nearly 30 years ago. Great of you to appreciate and post. If you find anymore of the many disco tracks I did in France, Italy and Germany back in those heady disco days, please contact me...I'd love to gather them up! capolley@gmail.com

You are the best!
