Comments

MGW-12002 is an original issue of Mercury MG-20206.

Inside The Groove

A sophisticated moody instrumentals with strings, from original French Riviera label.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

I think all the materials on this album are stylish and sophisticated, but it's just a listenable background music kind - no fun.

However, this cheesecake jacket cover is attractive :)

Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)

3 out of 10
