It's obviously not the John McLaughlin we're concerned with here. Just listen to the samples on CD Universe and others. The guy is a bloody pop songwriter from Glasgow, Scotland.
If you want to keep that album there go ahead and keep giving the site a bad rep. What also baffles me is why would somebody who is not familiar with an album bother to add it. There's another McLaughlin licence repro entitled Marbles which is actually identical to the 1970 Devotion LP that's incorrectly entered in the artist's box set/compilation section. When adding overlapping albums such as this I usually indicate that it is a re-issue under a different title.

Yes, it looks a bit misterious, I will check once again ( not because I love this album, but just to find a truth)

^ thanks for the info, but the album shows up on many McLaughlin (fusion gtrst) sites. So I think this is still an unsolved mystery. For now we will not erase Snobb's hard work and remove it till we are sure. I talked to Snobb about it and he researched it further and said it was legit.
Still your post says otherwise, let's see whatever else still comes in about this. |

It does appear to be by a different John McL.
This is on Amazon -
"This is quite a useful CD for getting a baby to sleep; not my favourite of the genre but not bad. It is not a CD by the jazz/fusion giant of Mahavishnu and Shakti fame. The creator of Sleep Easy Baby is a successful producer and songwriter who has contributed to hits by Westlife and the like. Equipped with this knowledge, you may want to amuse yourself by reading Amazon's description of the album, which claims to find interesting musical links between Sleep Easy Baby and (Mahavishnu) John Mclaughlin's other work! "
This is on CDUniverse -
"Successful songwriter/producer John McLaughlin (Westlife, Boyzone etc) leaves London to bring up family in Glasgow and 'retires' from music industry. His youngest son won't sleep and his wife is at breaking point. John starts making up songs and singing to the baby... he sleeps! Friends of the family ask for copies of John singing his lullabies and it works with their babies too!" Edited by chopper - December 03 2009 at 07:23 |

Sure, it's a John McLaughlin album, we can't pick out the ones we don't like, otherwise I'd get rid of thousands of albums on this site, ha ha.

So you're leaving there? The guy also added a licensed repro of Devotion under te title Marbles in the boxset / complilation entry. I dunno do I have to go through the whole thing. Now I don't have the time to write a review. I don't even want to look at the MO section.

It's legit, the pursuit of cash makes fools of us all.

Some guy added this album Sleep Easy Baby by another John McLaughlin in the real John McLaughlin entry. Can someone get rid of it?
