Michael Lembeck has a writing credit on it. Do you remember the song?

I've owned the vinyl album that this song appears on for a good number of years, so yeah.

Interesting that the copyright date for that 45 that you posted is 1974 when the album didn't come out until 1976.

At first I didn't recognize this by the title ! Than I clicked on and listened! It totally rang a bell!

I remember this song ! Good catchy tune and cool Michael Lembeck had a hand in the writing of the song !

I'm not familiar with it but I did some research and discovered that Razzamatazz is the flip side to Travolta's 2nd hit single titled Whenever I'm Away From You.

It's not easy to read but at the top part of the record label in very small print it says 1976 Midland International Records Inc. The 1974 at the bottom of the label represents when Midland International Records was founded.

Thanks fellow forum member. It seems that Midland International was an offshoot label of RCA because RCA did the actual manufacturing and distributing.

"Razamatazz, all that jazz, this crazy LA Living is bringing me down." Well, why didn't he get out of LA?

My sister bought the Travolta Fever reissue of Travolta's two pop albums and she loved this song. It was the only song on the album she liked. THen she stopped liking even that once she realized that Travolta couldn't really sing.
