HAPPY HOUR
1982 New Zealand issue
This auction is for a copy of a 1982 New Zealand version of Deodato’s 20th studio album, Happy Hour. Brazilian pianist, composer, arranger and record producer, Deodato is possibly best known for his 1974 hit, Also Sprach Zarathustra (2001) but he has produced more than 500 records for acts such as Frank Sinatra, Roberta Flack, Björk, Christophe and Kool & the Gang. Happy Hour was recorded at a time when Deodato was really getting into modern soul production and arranging work with other groups. On Happy Hour he tries his hand at the style himself, transforming his usual 70’s jazz funk groove into a tightly snapping 80s soul approach! Most tracks on the set feature vocals – by singers who include Kelly Barretto, Eban Kelly, and Candi Staton – but the instrumentation behind them is still plenty jazzy too, thanks to some nice work by Deodato on Fender Rhodes, mini moog, Arp, and other keyboards.
Deodato – Happy Hour (1982, Warner Bros. Records – BSK 3649)
SIDE ONE: Keep On Movin'; Happy Hour; Just This One Night

This copy of Happy Hour is in VG condition. The LP is clean and plays well. The cover is also VG with very minor edge wear. Please check the pictures as they form part of the description.
I will be listing several records over the coming weeks. These are from a private collection that has been in storage for a few years. The images used in the listings will always be the actual records for sale, stock images will not be used. Please note I will do my best to grade the condition of these records, but I am not a professional grader. If anything, the gradings will be conservative. All LPs will be test played but only major defects will be reported.
I am happy to combine postage if you are interested in more than one listing. The item will be packed carefully to ensure it arrives safely which may mean postage is a little higher, but I will only charge you the postage I pay. Local pick up will be from the Highett area, about 5 minutes from Southland Shopping Centre. Overseas buyers please note postage is based on weight and distance, which can make buying from Australia quite expensive.
All bids are final. Winning bidder please contact me within 3 days. Postage discounts will be offered if more than one auction has been won. Buyer is to pay all postage. Overseas bidders please note that there is an Australia Post surcharge to some countries; this is to be paid by the buyer. Email for accurate postal costs before bidding. Please email me any questions.
Good luck and happy bidding!
