Looking back now, this record is one of the most important of its time. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarc Cerrone\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, a free spirit inhabited by music, ended up with a major work of art. With this album, Cerrone accumulated the main elements that make a record timeless, even bigger than its creator: the pure originality, the madness of a vision without compromise, a sense of the market and a great dose of luck too. To some extent, this is the perfect record to start a career. He had the sound of his instrument in mind and mostly its central element: the bass drum. The idea of this first solo album came to him after a detour via selling records. That's when he discovered a daring new sound coming from New York: disco music. This energy inspired him to record again. Cerrone felt like going back into the studio but to make something different. He decided to record a sixteen minutes long track, driven by its beat, that would fit on its own on one side of a LP, with girls' voices simulating sex. Obviously, like always in pop music, record companies started by turning this weird track down, convinced that radios would never play sixteen minutes of beats and moaning. Cerrone, a born fighter, decided to trust his instinct (a mix of ego and business sense) and chose to believe that if the radios wouldn't play the track, people would dance to it in the clubs. He released the record himself, with a sexy cover a bit provocative. Due to a mistake, a box of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eLove In C Minor\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e albums were sent to the States via Cerrone's record shop instead of some unsold American LPs. Once in New York, the box was opened and the record with its intriguing cover was instantly loved and passed through the hands of radio and club DJs. All of a sudden, and unknown to its creator, the track that was turned down by every French label, became a hit on the New York disco scene. He was welcome by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eAhmet Ertegun\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, one of the main visionaries of the American music. It's believed that Ertegun understood that the French young musician, like some Atlantic artists, was about to define the sound of his time and that his work would live long after its birth date. \"Love In C Minor\" was the first step, adamant and successful.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jackpot Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67606195962074,"sku":null,"price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/5705\/3402\/files\/BEC5618645_PROD.jpg?v=1792723869","url":"https:\/\/jackpotrecords.com\/products\/cerrone-love-in-c-minor-50th-anniversary-edition-crystal-clear-apple-green-vinyl-french-import-pre-order-out-12-4-26","provider":"Jackpot Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
