I agree with that to a degree but there were people new to the scene in 1978 who weren't around in 1974 and to them this was a "new" sound. I think this illustrates the timelessness of the music. :)

The music is actually a backing track to the Wide-Track Pontiac "Breakaway" advertising campaign from 1969. I have a 45 with several of the Breakaway jingles on it, and the instrumental version of this tune is ephemerally called "Big Band Jazz Rock." Talk about repurposing!

If you were "dancing to this C.1978", you were 4 years too late, as it was first played in 1974, and had available on UK label since 1975! A perfect example of how the "oldies scene" drained the vitality of the Northern scene I think.
