Ball Bearing Group - A.A. 1050 (Esquire; 1986; Italy)

In the late 1970s the Ball Bearing Group put out a relatively obscure series of library records titled "Experience" for the Italian label Abramo Allione. This album is part of a series of untitled records in generic sleeves that I came across recently. They are marked "Esquire Records" but discogs suggests they are also Abramo and were put out in the late 1980s.

The music sounds like it was recorded ten years earlier - a blend of psychish-lounge, funk, and cosmic disco.

I can't find much information about this one online. It was pressed in Miami and seems fairly obscure.

The music is surprisingly wonderful. It's a particularly psychedelic sounding lounge-jazz-funk mix with some scat vocals that could have easily been found on an Italian library of the same era.
