    • 1. L.A. Nights
    • 2. New York Afternoon

    Limited reissue of Japanese singer Yasuko Agawa’s stunning jazz-funk classic L.A. Nights. Created as an answer record to Light of the World’s massive 1980 anthem London Town by the same writer/producer of the original - Augie Johnson, this laid-back groover championing the delights of L.A. became huge on the jazz-funk scene in its own right and deservedly so. Augie’s fresh production keeps all the funk of LOTW’s version with a killer bass, cool vibes and tight percussion but Yasuko brings a lighter ethereal feel with her smooth other-worldly vocal delivery. One of two Japanese album tracks plucked for 12” release by iconic UK soul/funk label Bluebird, this is backed with the more jazzy but equally sweet New York Afternoon. Great release!
