Wonderful that you re-released Herman’s Rocket ‘Space Woman’ album last year, I only hope that for us non-vinyl owning Massiera freaks that you will one day offer a CD and/or digital version!

One thing I did notice in your blurb was the following:

“Commissioned by Italian producer Mémé Ibach (Karen Cheryl)”

I may be wrong here but I am pretty sure that the full name is Humbert ‘Mémé’ Ibach AKA Humbert Petrucci who founded and ran the legendary “Disques Ibach” label as you mentioned.

Just to confuse matters further, on the writing credits for the Herman’s Rockets tracks Golden Crystallen, Transport Mission Security and Hanged In Univers (which are the ones Petrucci is credited on) he uses yet another pseudonym “Goldera”.

As for “Karen Cheryl”, thats the pseudonym of French singer Isabelle Morizet who released a self-titled album on Disques Ibach in 1980 rather than the pseudonym of Humbert Petrucci (he did however help write tracks for the album along with French library/cosmic disco legends
Marc Chantereau and Jean Claude Petit to name but a few).

I hope you don’t think I am been pedantic, I just thought for any future texts surrounding the ‘Space Woman’ album you would want to ammend the information.

I really love what Mucho Gusto does and enjoy contributing to its knowledge base (even in the most minor anal-retentative manner imaginable!)

Can I ask, did you get your name from the wonderful Phase 4 “Los Machucambos” album and if not, where from?
