PUBLI K7 - Octobre 1976 (Rare French Lounge Disco Pop 70's)

Подробнее о видео

Publi K7 was a short time-lived cassette club by annual subscription plans.
For a very cheap price, only covering shipping fees, the suscriber received a monthly compilation cassette, with 20 tracks in various styles (pop, rock, funk, disco, jazz, easy listening), most of them were exclusive covers of international hits by local or european anonymous bands, often similar to originals, but sometimes with significant variations.
Some french audio advertising were included between some tracks, that was what paid the cassette manufacturing and maybe also the musicians.
Anyway, it probably not lasted more than one or two year, as these cassette club was contemporary of the beginnings of musicassette commercialization, and were unmixed, so all songs had different sound levels and sound qualities.
I did my best to transfer, restore, remix and remaster all the 20 songs of my exemplary of this cassette. Most of them sound now better than they ever sounded on tape, but a few of them shows sound limitations or tape imperfections. But it's definitively a cool time travel in the 70's true fans will appreciate, as the Publi K7 series have been poorly sold, and are almost impossible to find nowadays.
I included the two original audio ads for Publi K7, which are on the beginning of side 1, but I've deleted an irrelevant advert for a Ford car model on side 2 for more musical comfort. :-)
