Leave A Light

I have had some of their music on vinyl before, like a few of the songs.Sounds great!

Good songs, good memories and good sound.I got everything right, thank you very much

Great collection of their best songs, good walk down the memory lane.

Perfection.

Eruption’s 1979 album LEAVE A LIGHT follows the template of their 1977 debut with some killer up-tempo Disco/R&B tunes to anchor the album (LEAVE A LIGHT, ONE WAY TICKET), light reggae (LEFT ME IN THE RAIN—though the liner notes misspell the title), a fresh take on a mellow classic (THEME FROM ‘VALLEY OF THE DOLLS’) and the male vocals taking center stage (UP AND AWAY).If you are unfamiliar with the group their sound is like a combination of the melodic Eurodisco sound of Boney M crossed with the slick harmonic grooves of the Village People fronted by Precious Wilson, whose voice bears a strong resemblance to the great Bonnie Pointer. If you liked their first album, you will find this one just as aurally pleasing.My favorites include the title track, the cover of VALLEY OF THE DOLLS and the most Boney M-sounding song: ONE WAY TICKET which cleverly references late 1950s songs in its lyrics (BYE BYE LOVE, HEARTBREAK HOTEL, LONESOME TOWN, LONELY TEARDROPS, A FOOL SUCH AS I) and really comes alive in the extended 12” version included here.

If like me, growing up in 1977/78, you might not have had much money so only bought singles. Then you will like me, may have thought that all there was to Eruption was I Can't Stand The Rain and One Way Ticket. Oh how wrong we were. This latest release by BBR and the previous, just valled Eruption, clearly shows the depth that their was to this late 70's disco band, and let's not be unkind in saying this, that is what they were. Initially in the shadow of Boney M they got the break with the release of their first studio album that prodduced the massive hit I Can't Stand The Rain.The labum continues on the same field. It nearly didn't. As is noted on the excellent sleve notes for the CD that has been included, the first single taken from the album, Leave A Light, basically flopped. This made Hansa re-think the strategy for the album and so One Way Ticket was released, and became a Europe wide monster hit. The album is littered with strong songs, and these have been mentioned well in other reviews here but I will mention the reaggae tune, Left me In The Rain which slightly reminds me of another song by Judy Boucher.This is a great album, and I am more than happy that it is available for the first time. Just a shame that Amazon's [acking, with a couple of other items I ordered at the same time, means I have a nice long crack in the jewel case but the hassle to replace it is too much and not worth it. Go buy this and take yourself back to the seventies and have some fun.

Eruptions second album is a very strong album, just like the first album the beauty of the pop songs Hey there lonely girl, No good serching,Sweet side, and then we have soul/pop songs Up and away, Left me in the rain and the stunning ballads Fire is gone, Valley of the dolls.I only dont understand why bbr havent included the european album version of Leave a light running 8.40 instead of the Us-version 6.20 who was the maxi singel version in Europe.One way ticket the big epic pop song from the album is only included in the US 12 inch remix and not the European 12 inch long version running 5.20.But a strong well produced pop/soul album. I think that the titel track never should have been a singel only a album track, One way ticket should have been the first singel, and Runaway should have been the follow up singel instead i hope that Precious wilsons -On the race track album will be released next time on cd.

These people at MusicMagpie never fail to impress with their high quality products, amazing service and very competitive pricing! Highly recommended seller!

The more people buy this album and the first which is now available we might stand a chance of hearing the rest. Its taken years to get this releasedand with excellent sound and wonderful booklet. I highly recommend this album from a very talented group.
