Here's a very fine and elegant harmony-laden record that you will dig a lot if you like yer pop with Beach Boys trademark constructions and wonderful, surprising chords progressions all over the place (but not only that: Wings, 70s FM pop à la Boston, Queen guitars...). I honestly don't know much about these guys other than they are from the U.S. and apparently released a second, self-titled album one year later. (What...? That you have this second album...? Oh, please leave a message...!)
At any rate, this is one melodic gem of a record to be enjoyed big time.
(the photo on the back cover is originally blurred, so you know)
The songs:
City Of Lights
Take Me To The High Ground
Come With Me
Easy Street
Takin' It Easy
What Am I Gonna Do
Gone Are The Dreams
Wendy
Viva Alessa
Lost In The Storm
Written and performed by Robert Phillips and Sean MacLeod.
Produced by Tony Peluso.

Can you please re-post Dan McCafferty? Love Don Cooper. Thanks
A lost gem!
Thanks a lot for sharing such treasures...
This LP sometimes calls to mind the Raspberries ( a very good reference indeed)but also the great but forgotten Tarney Spencer Band.
Thanks again!
Thanks for your comments!
1st Anonymous... glad you liked Don Cooper, but I never posted Dan Mc. before (I don't have anything by him anyway).

Have you now withdrawn this post of
"PHILLIPS / MacLEOD - Le Partie Du Cocktail! (1979)"?
It would be useful if you reported this on the main page. I've waster sometime trying to d/l without success/ Thout it was rapidshare, or my ISP or any number of things - please let us know what going on!
There is nothing wrong with the link. It works perfectly fine. It must be a problem at your end.

Saludos agradecidos, y deseando que actualices.
Manolo.
I live with MacLeod and know Phillips. Both live in North County San Diego. Their second album was very different as they were exploring harder music. We may have a cd of it around here somewhere. First album was great, though, wasn't it? "Takin It Easy" was bought by Seals & Croft and used as a cover song on one of their albums.
Popcat,
Thanks a mill for Phillips & MacLeod. I am tremendously enjoying this music. Why hadn't I ever heard of them before? Anyway, now I have.
Thanks again!
