Un mot de Georges Lang : ''Lorsque j’ai démarré en 1973 les Nocturnes sur RTL, je ne pouvais pas imaginer que mes albums de l’époque, allaient devenir des disques cultes. Près de 50 ans plus tard, le phénomène vinyle ne faiblit pas, au contraire. La passion pour les 33-tours augmente de jour en jour. A telle enseigne que je conserve jalousement les trésors de ma programmation du début des Nocturnes : “The Dark Side Of The Moon” de Pink Floyd, “Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy” d’Elton John, “Second Helping” de Lynyrd Skynyrd. Tous ces albums ont tourné sur les grandes platines EMT 930 de mon studio afin d’arroser en grandes ondes une large partie de la France''.

This 1976 Kudu date under Esther Phillips' name is notable for two major reasons, and both of them are Joe Beck. While Creed Taylor produced the date, all of the sets arrangements were done by Beck, who wove an entire band's sound around the smoking, soulful grooves of his guitar. His playing is the other reason this set is so memorable: Beck is at his most inspired and fluidly funky; he is present everywhere in the mix but nonetheless crafts the strengths of the ensemble around Phillips' unusual voice.

They were the studio musicians behind some of the biggest hits in the 1960s and 70s. From Be My Baby to California Girls Strangers in the Night to Mrs. Robinson You've Lost that Lovin Feelin to Up, Up and Away and from Viva Las Vegas to Mr. Tambourine Man the group dubbed The Wrecking Crew played on them all. Six years in a row in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Grammy for Record of the Year went to Wrecking Crew member recordings. The talents of this group of first call players were used on almost every style of recording including television theme songs, film scores, advertising jingles and almost every genre of American popular music, from the Monkees to Bing Crosby. Notable artists employing the Wrecking Crew's talents included Nancy Sinatra, Bobby Vee, the Partridge Family, David Cassidy, Jan & Dean, the Mamas & the Papas, the 5th Dimension, the Association, the Carpenters, Glen Campbell, Cher, John Denver, the Beach Boys, Simon and Garfunkel, the Grass Roots and Nat King Cole.
