"Vinyl Night at the Jenny Lind Inn, Hastings -
the return of our long-running Sunday BYO Vinyl Night!
Every Sunday from 7ish in the cozy back bar of The Jenny." 

So dust off those platters and head on down!

That was the promo - put your name on the blackboard and take it in turns to play your record(s). And quite a mixed bag it was to, from thrash metal to Kiss, the Thompson Twins, Wire and this 'Futuristic Journey' by Biddu Orchestra. 

This track may sound vaguely familiar or not. It was released in early January 1978, just as disco was taking off following the premier of 'Saturday Night Fever'. It would only troubled the lower reaches of the UK singles chart for one week in February but I'm sure it was played a lot around the dancefloors everywhere. 

Biddu Appaiah is a British-Indian singer songwriter, composer and music producer, considered one of the pioneers of Disco, Euro Disco and Indian Pop. His international breakthrough came in 1974 when he produced 'Kung Fu Fighting' by Carl Douglas. 

Played that night, the Biddu Orchestra and the sitar sound of 'Journey to the Moon' (neat video) and dance away into space
