MARC MOULIN: PLACEBO SESSIONS 71-74

What we have here is a compilation album featuring the best tracks off of PLACEBO's three studio albums which were released between 1971 and 1974. Sean Trane in his review goes on for some time about the tracks chosen and how good they are and I agree with him, it's so rare to have a compilation album that has all the tracks on it that I want. Rarely the case. Five songs from the debut, and five from the second album, and five from that third record and yes this 80 minute album sounds like an actual album, it's so uniform and has the same vibe throughout.

This is some of the absolute best Jazz Rock/Fusion I have heard. I remember my first time through it, and getting more excited after each track but also waiting for the dud, but it never came. Without question a five star release that I just can't get enough of. Pair this with Marc Moulin's debut solo album "Sam' Suffy" and I have two of the best Jazz Rock/Fusion records in my collection. Marc the keyboardist here is a joy to listen to. This record also defies logic for me with all the horns in play but for some reason this record works for me big time.

I honestly could close my eyes and pick any five songs as my top five. So consistent. A must!
