1973

180 gram audiophile vinyl.

Belgian funk/jazz/groove band Placebo’s album 1973 continues in the same vein as Ball of Eyes, though it’s definitely funkier and head boppin’ than the debut. The real-ear grabber is the superb Moog soloing by Moulin. Placebo is grooving your socks off in the first half of the album and a more concentrated jazzy swing can be found on the second half.

Original copies of 1973 are in short supply and overwhelming demand, making this official reissue a much-needed one! Marc Moulin (1942 – 2008) was a Belgian musician and journalist. In the early Seventies, he was the leader of the Jazz-Rock group Placebo. Moulin was one of Belgium’s jazz legends, making jazz-influenced records for over 30 years. The three Placebo albums are the Holy Grail for the rare groove crowd, and record collectors worldwide.
