Yan Tregger Ducks & Drakes

Originally released on library music label
Musical Touch Sound back in 1979, ‘Ducks &
Drakes’ is an instrumental disco LP by
pioneering French electronic musician Yan
Tregger. Reissued this year by BBE alongside
his 1978 album ‘Catchy’, Ducks & Drakes has
achieved cult status among crate diggers and
DJs, thanks to its ebullient charm and rock-solid
leftfield grooves. Virtually impossible to find on
vinyl for many years now, ‘Ducks & Drakes’
found wider allure in 2008 when Alexis Le-Tan
selected album track ‘Girls Will Be Girls’ for
experimental disco compilation ‘Space Oddities’.
UK music hero Frankie Valentine brought
these two magical albums to BBE’s attention
and curated the project alongside the team.
Amazingly (especially given the era in which it
was recorded) the album was almost entirely
performed, produced and composed by Tregger
himself. Presented with its beautiful original
artwork and previously unavailable to all but a
lucky few record collectors, we’re excited to
share the disco-infused magic of ‘Ducks &
Drakes’ with the world.
