Liner Note Author: Louis Philippe. Recording information: Chiswick Reach Studios, London, England (04/1994-04/1994); Momentum Sound Studio, London, England (04/1994-04/1994). Photographer: Patrick Messina . Arrangers: Louis Philippe; Bertrand Burgalat. These two records blended so seamlessly together that Cherry Red Records decided to release them together in the double-CD format. From start to finish, these two records never waver in their delivery of consistently brilliant songs. For their A Kiss in the Funhouse best-of compilation, Le Grand Magistery Records raided these two records for a large number of "hits." Of particular interest to those who already own the originals is the presence of three tracks previously unavailable outside Japan: "Heaven," "Bus No. 13," and "Rue Mouffetard." Delta Miss marks the beginning of the close collaboration between Louis Philippeand bass player/arranger Daniel Manners. Completed in around three weeks at Momentum Studios in London, the album was the first Philippe recording to feature the Covent Garden String Quartet, which would become a fixture on his later recordings. Note the inclusion of "Witchi-Tai-To," a cover of the Jim Pepper classic and arrangement of a traditional Sioux war chant. Sunshine was the result of a month of frenetic recording by Philippe and super lounge producer Bertrand Burgalat. Of the 30 songs that they recorded, only 16 made it onto the original U.K. recording; that recording, due to Humbug Records' financial troubles, was only available for a few months in Europe. For anybody unfamiliar with Philippe, either Sunshine or Delta Miss would make a perfect introduction, but packaged together they become indispensable to both the uninitiated and to any Louis Philippe fan, far too comfortable on the cool-blue chaise longue to get up and flip the record. ~ Terrance Miles
