I certainly cannot translate that name, and — sorry for pushing open doors —, do you know that this track is actually the *« The night »* by Valerie Dore <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80ssUKt76-c> ? This is no anecdotal : it's an italo-disco smash hit. Although i had the 45 when i was a kid, i don't remember playing it 33 — i was probably a little too young for this back then. Conversely, a few years later i've been extensively playing my all-time favorite FPI Project's *« Rich in paradise »* b-side <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__YB9IK28Xo> @ 33 instead of 45, which would confer it quite an irresistible Larry Heard flavour.
