Gare Du Nord Fresh From The Can

In the period before their breakthrough with Sex ‘n’ Jazz, three international
albums by Gare du Nord appeared to be cherished by the many fans of the first
hour. The debut album (In Search Of) Excellounge with the European hit Pablo’s
Blues appeared in the slipstream of St Germain’s Tourist and became a classic
in the genre. Successor Kind Of Cool contained - in addition to the title song in
the best Miles Davis tradition - the film hit Sold My Soul. The successful Club
Gare Du Nord had a remarkable contribution by trumpet player Erik Truffaz in
the classic We Still Grow and the catchy Becker / Fagen adaptation Go Back,
Jack.
Although the three albums reached the gold status, they weren’t available for
ten years. The reason for this lay in the fact that producers Barend Fransen
and Ferdi Lancee wanted to keep the analog sound of the tracks for a reissue
on vinyl. Now the time has come: Fresh From The Can contains an exclusive
selection from the “French” period of Gare du Nord, for which the original tracks
were specially remastered for vinyl. Added to the album is the long version
version of Rock Your Baby, recorded with the original singer George McCrae,
that can’t be found on any other release. Fresh From The Can, packed in new
artwork inspired by Andy Warhol, offers a complete side for each of the three
albums to preserve the original sound and atmosphere. Side four contains
classic hits from the platinum albums Sex ‘n’ Jazz and Love For Lunch.
Fresh From The Can is available as a first pressing of 1.000 individually
numbered copies on transparent vinyl and includes a printed innersleeve.
