When it comes to making available once more lost, forgotten and overlooked soulful masterpieces, our expertise is considered second to none. It’s all about finding the artists and reconnecting them and the fans to their forgotten history. DJ Fryer has been researching this album of dancefloor soul from the late ‘70s and early ‘80s for the last 4 years, and we’re finally able to present a double LP’s worth of rare, obscure and GOOD dancefloor soul, rare boogie and soulful disco. To top it off Ashley Beedle and Tom Noble offered up their remixing skills on a couple of tracks that just needed the extra tweak that linear editing prevented back in the day.
The endless quest to discover lost interesting music from the past is something of a calling to many. Record collectors and DJs will go without food and spend all their wages to own a single piece of vinyl. Many will travel around the world to towns and cities you would never choose to visit. Happy spending nights in cheap hotels and days in musty old shops looking for that one lucky find, and it does happen, eventually, to all that make the effort. I make no claim to the discovery of any of these records contained here, but I nod my hat to those that did and will again in the future.

ウルトラレアなシングル・・・シングルでしかリリースされなかったレアトラック・・・を集めたコンピレーション。 70 年代から 80 年代にかけてのディスコ系楽曲が、珍しいところこれでもかっ!っていう神のようなこのオムニバスアルバムは、デジタルデータ販売ではノイズが入っているとかなんとか言われています。 ので初聴の方は YouTube あたりからアクセスするのがいいかと思われます。

それにしてもシングルのみのリリースというレア度高すぎ問題の楽曲を集めただけあって、こういったコンピを買わなければならなかった時代っていうのがつい最近まであったわけで、ここは Jazzman の偉業を素直に称えたいです。 なにしろ聴いてみてくれっていう話ではありますが、Heem The Music Monsters の Wake Up People を聴くだけでも価値があります。
