{"product_id":"steve-leach-with-the-crystal-grass-orchestra_ocean-potion_2024_lba","title":"OCEAN POTION","description":"The track Ocean Potion, a Balearic beach-funk number by Steve Leach, recorded with the Crystal Grass Orchestra, is an absolutely brilliant classic, close to Ned Doheny, funky AOR \/ blue-eyed soul BBQ from 1976. Who is Steve Leach, you ask? None other than Seasick Steve in a former life! An exclusively French release on Philips, it is an extremely immediate pop-funk banger. It features a wonderfully lush and full orchestral sound, supporting Steve's beautiful voice and an army of brilliant backing vocalists. The lineup is phenomenal and is undoubtedly the main reason this record is so fantastic. We're talking legendary musicians from the French scene (think Arpadys, Voyage, Kongas, CCPP, Giant, Swing Family) like Don Ray in his role as arranger-conductor and on synths, Marc Chantereau on percussion, Slim Pezin on guitar, André Ceccarelli on drums, Christian Padovan on bass, and Pierre Halation on flute. With these snakes in the grass behind the scenes, the mystery remains as to why Ocean Potion is relatively unknown. Let's hope this long-awaited reissue sets things right and puts an end to people spending 200 euros to buy it.","brand":"STEVE LEACH WITH THE CRYSTAL GRASS ORCHESTRA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57345777467736,"sku":null,"price":23995592.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/4251804182362.jpg?v=1779390539","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/steve-leach-with-the-crystal-grass-orchestra_ocean-potion_2024_lba","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
