Peppermint Jack (released in some countries as: City Cats or Arabesque II) is the second studio album, released in 1979 by German disco trio Arabesque. [2] [3]
Overview
Initial work on the album began in late 1978—early 1979. Select tracks from the album still feature lead vocals by Heike Rimbeau, previous lead singer of the group. Rimbeau left the group halfway through the recording of the album, due to her pregnancy. [4] She lost all rights to the group, and thus was uncredited in the album. Sandra Ann Lauer, joined the group in August 1979 and finished recording the album with the group later that year. Michaela Rose also has lead vocals on a few of the album tracks. As with most of the other Arabesque albums, songs were written by Jean Frankfurter and John Möring, while produced by Wolfgang Mewes. [5] Bernt Moehrle was also involved in the production of this album. [6] It was recorded and mixed at Europasound Studios in Offenbach am Main.
