Eruption – Leave A Light
Leave A Light is available from the Mr. Hansen Records collection as a German Club Edition vinyl LP, released on Hansa International / Bertelsmann Club with catalogue number 38 183 0. This edition presents one of Eruption’s most recognisable late-1970s disco albums in its original stereo LP format.
Released in 1979, Leave A Light captures Eruption at the height of their polished European disco sound. Produced by Frank Farian and Rainer M. Ehrhardt, the album combines soulful lead vocals, smooth backing harmonies, bright orchestration and dancefloor-ready rhythms. It has the glossy, energetic production style closely associated with the Hansa sound of the period.
The album includes Leave A Light (I’ll Keep A Light In My Window), a sweeping disco-soul opener with strong vocal drama and a full dance arrangement. It also features One Way Ticket, one of Eruption’s best-known tracks and a classic example of late-1970s European disco: catchy, upbeat, polished and instantly memorable.
Across the album, Eruption move between dancefloor disco, soulful pop and smooth romantic material. Tracks such as Sweet Side, Up And Away, Valley Of The Dolls, Hey There Lonely Girl and Fire Is Gone show the group’s ability to combine club energy with strong melodic hooks.
For collectors, this German Bertelsmann Club edition is especially interesting as a period-correct club pressing, pressed by Sonopress and printed by Mohndruck Reinhard Mohn GmbH. It is a strong choice for fans of European disco, Hansa productions and the Frank Farian sound.
Recommended for listeners who enjoy Boney M., Precious Wilson, Silver Convention, Hot Chocolate, Donna Summer and classic late-1970s disco.
