Johanna Group "Strange love action" Chappell, 197?

Finally, after more than two weeks without any update, i'm back with something special.

This record was "released" by the british Library label Chappell during the seventies on their french catalogue, known as the CHA serie.
You may know two tracks from this LP if you have ever heard Luke Vibert's Nuggets and Barry 7's connectors volume 1 on Lo Recordings. "Strange love action", the title track was even one of the highlight of the first Nuggets volume, seven minutes of wild prog/folk/funk.
Unfortunately, i know nothing about the musicians on this record and there is no information on the web, according to most of the track titles i suppose that they were french but that's all i can say about them.
If anyone got some information... he or she's welcome !


See you soon !


The zip file contains high resolution cover and label scans and tracks encoded at 192 kbps.

Damn blogger wouldn't allow me to edit my comment...

Anyway - this is a cool share, P.
The CHA series is one of the more obscure and interesting ones on Chappell...

Thanks !

This is one of the finest and creepiest bits of recorded sound around. Everything from the cover to the echos of crying babies mixed into the queasy and cheesy melodies, it all adds up to a real house-clearer! I posted one track on my blog, so if anyone wants a taste before getting the whole album, try one of the tracks out here:

Hi Guys I'm also looking for information about that band and what i found out on the Sacem internet Site (Society Of Authors, Compositors, Musicians And Interpretes, Legal French Authority For Copyrights Control) are their respective following names : Michel Cron, Jean Dubois, Jérôme Eugène Eric Marie And Benoît Kaufman...

So they are effectively french but no more data...

hoping helping you
