Music For Night People

Overview

Music For Night People --- 1996

Info from front cover: A collection of songs from the PolyGram Publishing Archive Info from back cover & disc face: Promo only Interior typography groups the tracks into "sides". Track durations are not printed on the release. Some tracks are mastered from vinyl and have audible surface noise. Despite the "HiFi Full Spectrum Stereo" logo on the cover & disc face, tracks 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 12 to 15, 17, 18, 20, and 21 are mono. Track 22 is mono with light stereo reverb and overdubbed vinyl surface noise (in stereo) which continues for 2 minutes beyond the end of the song. Track 22 "Recorded exclusively for this project [...] at Polygram Publishing Studios." On track 20, which is Les Baxter's 1950 composition, Johan Vävare is credited as John Vavare, but the entire credit is a mistake; Johan Vävare had nothing to do with this song; he wrote and recorded a different song called "Xtabay" in 1982 (see [r=2210060]).
