Pastiche is an album by the Manhattan Transfer, released in 1978 by Atlantic Records. This was the last studio album the Manhattan Transfer recorded with Laurel Massé, who because of a car accident in early 1979 decided to end her association with the group. The album was re-issued on CD with Rhino as distributor in 1994.




Critical reception


The Globe and Mail wrote that "the group has run out of the material they do best and they now rely on pale imitations of western swing with, on each album, one attempt at an old Motown number."




Charts


Pastiche peaked at No. 66 on the Billboard magazine Top Pop Catalog Albums chart.
