Zinc

Zinc was yet another fine studio creation launched by Jacques Fred Petrus when he was staying in New York. This project was his last production in 1982.

The rare Street Level album was published in 1982 by Jive Records, a label known for its alternative releases and particular products. Jive is a division of Zomba, the highest-ranked independent company in the world. With the Zinc concept, Petrus attempted to infiltrate the white Pop market with a sound abandoning warm melodic Soul and flirting colder Rock music. The musical climate at that time was radically changing. Pop music took the gravity center of radio programming and DJ culture, at the expense of black dance music. Several tracks in the Zinc record demonstrated the impact of New Wave music in those days.

The studio group was composed of American and Italian session musicians led by the inevitable Mauro Malavasi. The production abilities of Mauro Malavasi and the great musicianship of Davide Romani and Rudy Trevisi once again shone through on this record. Street Level featured the lead vocals of the white session singer Gordon Grody and Steve Daniels. Gordon Grody is a renown backing vocalist who has recorded with many soul and pop artists (Jeff Tyzik, Debbie Harry, David Bowie, Steely Dan, Patti Austin, Peabo Bryson, George Benson, Luther Vandross, Talking Heads, Phyllis Hyman, Yoko Ono, Change, High Fashion, The B.B.&Q. Band, etc.). He also provided the lead vocals for several other Petrus projects: Macho’s second Roll album and the two Silence albums. Steve Daniels formerly appeared as a vocalist on the Revanche and Rudy projects in 1979 and also did backgrounds for Change.

Despite the suitable Jive label and a very well realized product, the Zinc undertaking was not a commercial peak and showed that the Pop market didn't belong to Petrus and his musicians. Highlights on Zinc’s Street Level were the inspired Kashif song “Street Level” and the chilly “Punkulation” written by Romani. Other tasteful selections included the naughty uptempo "I'll Never Stop", the energetic "I'll Take My Chances" flavoured with licks of Rock guitar and polyrhythmic percussion, the Chic-influenced "This Is Where The Love Is" which would have perfectly fit any Change album, and "Amazon" with its intriguing instrumental airs and chants.

In 1983 a last single "I'm Livin' A Life Of Love", composed by Malavasi, was issued on Jive Records but no album followed. The reasons why this single reached the market were contractual stipulations that forced the musicians of Little Macho Music to publish something for Zinc. The song was a leftover from previous B.B.&Q. Band recordings and recalled the arrangement of "Searching" by Change.
