Robert De La... Gauthier - Bar Lézard - Julia's (1988 re edit 2023)

Recorded in 1988 at Bar Lézard 1988, re edited in 2023

Depending at which point I started the cassette to record we miss the first part of songs which I add in and edit some real shaky transitions,but not too many because that’s how it was, not always perfect, but loud, in the club, it created the magic, but listening with headphones, those imperfections comes out and are more noticeable and being the chance taker that I was I dared often to risk executing quite the hard mixes between songs and styles.

Contains lots of acid house and the usual lézard off the wall mixture

First one an acid classic, get real, from Paul Rutherford, a member of Frankie goes to Hollywood.
The simple minds mixed in quite well I though, then mod, then it’s my life, talk talk, then midnight summer dream from the stranglers which was a Jean denis favourite that he made me discover and love.
Then comes Marc Almond, from Soft Cell, with one of my favourite extended version of tears run ring.
Then I think new order comes in, everything’s gone green, after, Les Rita Mitsouko mixing in with 
Le Petit Train. Then a rock psychedelic moment with black widow,
Front 242, Jesus is here, you don’t have to be poor anymore 12” welcome to paradise. Then one of the first lil louie in acid clash, a big classic, with fantastic long long blend with yello the race, then another yello track, then Phuture, your only friend, dark song kinda acid but not about cocaine, then trisomie 21, the last song, then Peter Murphy, then on an exotic vibe which I really loved to bring in for different flavouring, el muhamar, touch el Arab, really amazing one I really love.
The back to acid with Jesus loves the acid, house with wok the bone, which set the dance floor on fire every time, let’s work… more acid, with the outstanding sharp as knife from Roxanne shante, really loved that one a lot a lot. Ending with the twilight zone, very Jamie principal, but not him, great underground one, the party boy.
