French Disko
''Jenny Ondioline'' is a 1993 EP by the Anglo-French band Stereolab, which served as the lead single from the album '' Transient Random-Noise Bursts with Announcements''. It was released on CD and 10" vinyl. Its tracks were later re-released on the ''Oscillons from the Anti-Sun'' compilation. In the UK, some copies were stickered with the message "Includes ''French Disco''", due to that track receiving an unexpected amount of airplay on British radio. "French Disco" was also given co-billing with "Jenny Ondioline" on the UK Singles chart, on which it was Stereolab's first entry, peaking at number 75. The EP was the first Stereolab release on Elektra Records in the USA.

"Jenny Ondioline" was voted #3 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Stereolab
Stereolab are an Anglo- French avant-pop band formed in London in 1990. Led by the songwriting team of Tim Gane and Lætitia Sadier, the group's music combines influences from krautrock, lounge and 1960s pop music, often incorporating a repetitive motorik beat with heavy use of vintage electronic keyboards and female vocals sung in English and French.

LP Record
The LP (from "long playing" or "long play") is an analog sound storage medium, a phonograph record format characterized by: a speed of rpm; a 12- or 10-inch (30- or 25-cm) diameter; use of the "microgroove" groove specification; and a vinyl (a copolymer of vinyl chloride acetate) composition disk. Introduced by Columbia in 1948, it was soon adopted as a new standard by the entire record industry. Apart from a few relatively minor refinements and the important later addition of stereophonic sound, it remained the standard format for record albums (during a period in popular music known as the album era) until its gradual replacement from the 1980s to the early 2000s, first by cassettes, then by compact discs, and finally by digital music distribution. Beginning in the late 2000s, the LP has experienced a resurgence in popularity. Format advantages At the time the LP was introduced, nearly all phonograph records for home use were made of an abrasive shellac compound ...
