Re-delivery: Guy Lafleur – Lafleur! (1979, Unison Sports)
Generally, I tend not to reply to repost requests anymore, not because I'm trying to be rude, but it just got to the point where I had accumulated such a large backlog of them that I stopped replying altogether. I have saved all of them though, and out of everything that I've posted, I think I've gotten more requests for a repost of the Guy Lafleur disco album than practically anything else.
I know it's been quiet here for the last little while, but I figured with all the hockey-fuelled Olympic celebration here this past Sunday (fellow Canucks, you know what I'm talking about), I thought this would be a good time to finally get to this.
I had originally wanted to re-rip both the French and English albums, since I'd acquired a new and better cartridge/needle since the original post, but with my copy of the English LP being as warped as it is, that didn't exactly work out too well. Luckily, after a bit of frantic searching, I'd managed to dig up the burned CD that I had made from the original rips. After pumping up the volume a little and putting them through a tiny bit of noise reduction, here they are..
Aside from the music itself, I'd also put up a few more pictures to the original post. In doing so, saw that one of the album's producers, Peter Alves had left a comment behind on the post. It's not too often that I get comments from artists and producers, so that was a nice surprise.
Anyway, with this out of the way, maybe this'll finally get all you hockey fans off my back.. (Just kidding, of course). For all of you getting a taste of this for the first (or second) time, enjoy this little artifact from the disco era. To refresh your memories, here's a story from the CBC Archives, covering the album's release party.

The Whispers Orchestra (2010)
This group sounds too good to be called a band. The sound created by this talented group of musicians is closer to that of an orchestra. The core of this group has been together for over 20 years providing the music for The Mighty Whispers! In addition to backing up the Whispers, this orchestra has backed up the late great Gerald Levert, Chaka Khan, Howard Hewett, Keith Washington, Cherelle, Alexander O’Neil, After Seven, Phil Perry, and a host of other recording artists.01 The Beat Goes On
