Soul II Soul - Vol. IV The Classic Singles 88-93 (1993)

Volume IV The Classic Singles 88–93 is the first compilation album by British group Soul II Soul, released in 1993. Along with the band's biggest hit singles released up to 1993, the album also includes one new song, "Wish".

This compilation captures the essence of ultra-sophisticated R&B and house music at a turning point, before the sample-heavy storm of American R&B took over in the early '90s. Soul II Soul brought an organic feeling to their music, which shines through on this stellar compilation. The music was sleek, the vocals were clear, and the beats were irresistible.
This collection assembles the hits and singles from the ever-evolving act's first three albums. "Back to Life," the group's biggest stateside hit, is included in its single form, which was dramatically different from the original album version, which made many purchasers of Keep on Movin' very disappointed when they realized the song they heard on the radio was clearly not the one on the album. Other singles, such as "Jazzie's Groove" and "A Dream's a Dream" are also included in their radio/video versions. The album includes their other big hit, "Keep on Movin'" (unfortunately in an edited form -- the full-length album version was better), as well as other key singles, such as the rousing "Joy," the gritty club hit "Fairplay," and the ballad "Move Me No Mountain." From slick R&B ballads to Philly-inspired soul, from hip-hop to house music, Soul II Soul's hit collection offers up a musical smorgasbord that neatly highlights the outfit's greatest successes. As a final note, this album is only available as an import and has yet to see the light of day in the U.S.

MFSB - MFSB (1973) [2013 Remastered]



Product Description

M.F.S.B. (Mother Father Sister Brother) was the house band for Philadelphia International Records and worked very closely with the production team of Gamble & Huff. They backed up groups such as Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, The O Jays, The Stylistics, The Spinners, Wilson Pickett and Billy Paul and are probably best known in their own right for providing the theme music for the legendary TV show Soul Train with T.S.O.P. (The Sound Of Philadelphia) . With the rise of the Philly soul sound at the beginning of the '70s, business was booming at Gamble and Huff's Philadelphia International imprint and as a result M.F.S.B. were kept very busy in the studio providing backing for the aforementioned artists and leaving little time for the groups own recording sessions. It wasn t until 1973 that the group had a chance to record material in its own name and released their self-titled debut album to high acclaim later that same year. MFSB features extended Funk-Soul-Jazz work-outs as on the seven-minute cover of Curtis Mayfield s Freddie's Dead that opens the set. The group also re-interpreted Sly Stone's Family Affair to great effect while emphasising the flute as the driving force for their version of their label mates The O Jays Back Stabbers R&B chart topper from the previous year.

Tracklist

1.  Freddie´s Dead - 7:10
2.  Family Affair  - 4:22
3.  Something For Nothing - 2:58
4.  Back Stabbers - 6:30
5.  Lay In Low - 3:43
6.  Poinciana - 5:52

Sophia George - Fresh (1986)











Sophia George (born 21 February 1964, in Kingston, Jamaica) is a Jamaican singer.
She is best known for her 1985 hit "Girlie Girlie", which reached number one in Jamaica, topping the RJR chart for 11 weeks, and was also a Top-10 hit in the UK.
Her other Jamaican hits include "Lazy Body", "It Burn Mi Belly", and the duet "Ain't No Meaning"; all four songs appeared on her ten-song 1986 album, Fresh.
"Girlie Girlie" was written by Sangie Davis.At the time of its release, George was working as a teacher of deaf children. In the UK, George remains a one-hit wonder based on that song.
The track was used as title music on Going Overboard, a movie featuring Adam Sandler.
A compilation album, Girlie Girlie: The Best of Sophia George, was released on Trojan Records.
George married her manager Ronald Chung and in the mid-1990s they relocated to Miami, later settling in Los Angeles.

Sniff 'n' The Tears - Random Elements (2017)

“Random Elements” is the eighth album from Sniff’n’The Tears. After an accident in 2012, and several months’ recovery, Paul Roberts got into a songwriting spree. This was partly due to keyboardist Robin Langridge, sending inspirational sonic sketches to him. Thus started a collaborative process which led to some rather interesting song structures.
In Paul’s words: “Some of these new songs reflect the times, in terms of the dilemmas we face in the 21st century. Some are more personal but then, the personal and the political can be connected.” Themes Sniff fans are all too familiar with, “but”, he explains, with a shrug of acceptance, “humanity is what it is and this shit won’t stop any time soon.”
Hence “Random Elements”.  “A conflagration of the unlikely events that throw everything into flux which in turn makes for unlikely and sometimes unwelcome outcomes.” It should be added these songs were written before either Brexit or Donald Trump.

The album was recorded over four years with long-time collaborator keyboardist Robin Langridge and Sniff’n’The Tears guitarist Les Davidson who both contribute to the songwriting. Joining them, old Sniff alumni, bass player Nick South and drummer Paul Robinson. Seven years since the last album, “Downstream”, a new chapter begins with “Random Elements”.

1.  Take Me Home  (3:52)

Kayak - Seventeen (Special Edition 2CD digipak) (2018)

One of Holland’s biggest bands in the ’70s, Hilversum-formed Kayak have closed shop then re-opened more than once, exercising a belief that the music matters beyond the personnel. Ton Scherpenzeel is now the carrier of the torch, the writer, keyboardist and all-rounder reviving the name and assembling a fresh line-up after a three-year break brought on by sudden departures. Bart Schwertmann is his new vocalist, Marcel Singor the guitarist. A rhythm section well known to fans of the Neal Morse Band joined as this album was already nearly finished. Guesting on the instrumental Ripples On the Water is Andy Latimer, Scherpenzeel having written the track with him in mind after working with him in Camel.
If this all suggests the type of camel that is…
…a horse designed by committee (wonky, pasted together), rest assured that Kayak still sound like Kayak. Scherpenzeel’s firmly at the helm, and when he’s not playing everything, the others are (mostly) performing parts he’s penned. And what Kayak do best is blend melodic, adult pop songs with longer, symphonic prog pieces.
Their mastery of the former is exemplified by three-minute opener Somebody, which echoes Cold As Ice by Foreigner with a lick of Supertramp at their most staccato. Schwertmann’s confident vocal declares he’s not going to be a perfunctory hired hand and has every intention to sing the living daylights out of this material.
The more concise numbers do a sterling job of keeping matters lively, but it’s the extended, definitively progressive rock tracks which see Kayak push upstream with a swagger in their stride. La Peregrina revels in bombast and makes frequent leaps from heavy riffing to syrupy opulence. Walk Through Fire opens like it’s scoring the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 before easing into piano-led balladry, eventually revving up for a climax which isn’t a million miles away from Steve Hackett’s latest work.
The third biggie, Cracks, enjoys a lolloping guitar motif and stays in a high gear verging on the histrionic. To An End makes for a rather saccharine, maudlin closing piano ditty, but that’s been counterbalanced by Latimer’s earlier cameo, a textbook piece of restraint which encourages the more showy tracks to take flight.
You may be able to deduce from its title how many albums Kayak have made in their 45-year history (well, it counts as 45 if you overlook their complete split from 1982 to 1999), and given their apparent Lazarus-like ability to shrug off key members and regenerate, they might even make another 17. The abiding bravado and enthusiasm is infectious.

The Alan Parsons Project - Eye In the Sky (1982) [2017, 3CD Box Set, 35th Anniversary Edition]

Deluxe Box Set Includes 3 CDs, 2 LPs, 5.1 Surround Mix and Stereo HD Mix of Original Album on Blu-ray, Previously Unreleased Bonus Material, Flexi-Disc, 60-page Book, 1982 Replica Poster and More

Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, will celebrate the 35th anniversary of Eye in the Sky, the Alan Parsons Project’s 1982 masterpiece, with the worldwide release of a definitive deluxe collector’s box set–featuring rare and unreleased material–on Friday, November 17.
A multi-layered masterpiece, Eye in the Sky is the Alan Parsons Project’s sixth studio album written by Eric Woolfson (who passed December 2, 2009) and Alan Parsons. A conceptual musical meditation on a variety of belief systems–the album’s title refers to casino surveillance, earth-circling satellites and the all-seeing eye of the Egyptian God Horus–Eye in the Sky has proved both timely and timeless, a remarkably prescient view of art, religion, politics and culture for the 21st century.

The 35th anniversary Eye in the Sky collector’s box set includes 3 CDs (CD1: Original Album Expanded + bonus tracks, CD2: Eric Woolfson’s Songwriting Diaries, CD3: Previously Unreleased Bonus Material and Disc 4: 5.1 Surround Sound and Stereo HD version of the original album on Blu-ray). Also included are 2 vinyl LPs ( the original album newly struck at half speed on four sides at 45rpm at Abbey Road Studios by Miles Showell), a flexi-disc replica of an original 1982 promo, a 60-page hardback book featuring newly-written essays, previously unreleased images recently discovered in Eric Woolfson’s personal archive and new interviews with many of the musicians who recorded the tracks on the album, an Eye in the Sky 1982 replica poster and postcard, a gold-foil Eye of Horus stamp on the front of the box and more.
All of the newly discovered bonus material on Eye in the Sky has been lovingly and painstakingly restored to produce the best possible state-of-the-art listening experience for longtime fans and newcomers to the album.

“The songwriting diary disc is a very special element of this package”, says Sally Woolfson. “This shows Eric’s private moments of creativity captured on tape as songwriting memos to himself. As he didn’t read or write annotated music, this was how he developed the songs he wrote. They give a wonderful fly on the wall insight into the creative process where you can literally hear the song evolve as the ideas come out of his head.
These are very precious to the family and it was extremely difficult to pick out the tracks to include in this box set from the hours and hours of material we had for this album alone. We’ve tried to illustrate the creative progression where a number of tracks for the same song have been included. We hope the fans will enjoy this rare insight into the birth of the songs from the ‘Eye in the Sky’ album.” Eclectic and visionary, Eye in the Sky covers a variety of musical and thematic bases and–alongside I Robot and The Turn of a Friendly Card–is one of the APP’s platinum-selling albums.

Alan Parsons adds, “It was a wonderful experience to hear all the multitrack tape tracks from Eye In The Sky again – and for the first time in nearly 35 years, in their raw unmixed form. Hearing the various elements, performances, and moments of magic that were selected for the the final mixes of the songs was an amazing experience.
Of course not everything we recorded back then is heard on the final mixes, but the included bonus tracks in the box set give an interesting insight into was not used on the final mixes. Audiophiles will be pleased to know that there is a brand new 5.1 Surround Sound mix, which I am extremely pleased with incidentally, and also a Hi Def stereo version taken from the original analog stereo master tape which was recorded simultaneously alongside the digital mix”.

Eye in the Sky introduced the world to a pair of the APP’s biggest hits and most durable tracks: the album’s title song, with lead vocals from Eric Woolfson, and the album’s throbbing “Sirius,” a powerful stadium anthem familiar to fans of the Chicago Bulls and attendees of major college and professional sporting events throughout North America.

Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Welcome to the Pleasuredome (25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) (2017)


*** Digipack
Welcome To The Pleasuredome was one of the biggest British LPs of the 1980s. It features Frankie’s four biggest hits: Relax, Two Tribes, The Power of Love and, of course, Welcome to the Pleasuredome.

Very few labels score three number one singles in their first year of business. But then very few labels sign bands like Frankie Goes To Hollywood. From obscurity to infamy and back again in less than five years, Frankie Goes To Hollywood defined the early era of ZTT and – for many – 80s music in general. Their first three singles all hit number one (a record in itself) and each tackled a taboo head on: sex, war, religion.

The band had formed from shards of Liverpool’s explosive new wave scene. Holly Johnson (lead vocals) was ex-Big In Japan. Paul Rutherford (vocals and “I came to dance”) was ex-Pink Military. Mark O’Toole (bass), Ped Gill (drums) and Brian Nash (guitar) were “the hammer that knocked the nail in.” In a story that’s been told 1, 000 times, Trevor Horn kicked back one night during another frustratingly lengthy session on Yes’ 90125 and saw Frankie performing a rough and ready, sexed-up Relax (In Heaven Everything Is Fine) on Channel 4’s The Tube. ZTT was but a twinkle in his eye – and all the major labels had already turned Frankie down – but when Trevor saw the band he wanted to make them ZTT’s first signing, and he wanted to make them massive.

25 years on, the definitive edition of an 80s masterpiece. Includes the original double album remastered, plus classic B-sides, Trevor Horn’s epic 12" remixes of Relax and The Power Of Love, and archive interviews. CD2 also features previously-unheard studio demos of War, Two Tribes and Welcome To The Pleasuredome, an early, 11 minute version of Ballad Of 32 and a completely unreleased song from the end of the Pleasuredome era, Watusi Love Juicy. Beautifully expanded artwork includes previously-unseen photos, paintings and new liner notes.

"It may surprise some listeners how little this silver anniversary edition has dated, but though contrived playlist scandals and oversized slogan T-shirts inevitably become tiresome, there’s no sell-by date on sonic adventure or creative chutzpah. Frankie never managed to repeat the trick, of course, but for one glorious hour-and-a-bit, 25 years ago, they were arguably the best band in the land." (Terry Staunton, RECORD COLLECTOR)

"It was over really for Frankie Goes to Hollywood the moment Welcome to the Pleasuredome came out. The hype couldn’t be maintained and although there was a sell-out tour and further chart hits ahead, it was never the same.

Carole King - Breaking Up Is Hard To Do (2017)

For reasons best known to the gray marketers in Europe, a series of releases of unauthorized Carole King material has been turning up on small labels, and here is another one.
The material is an odd combination of early-'60s recordings by King and some of her best-known work from the early '70s. In this case, the album leads off with King versions of the 1962 hits "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do" (written by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield and turned into a hit by Sedaka) and "Crying in the Rain" (written by King and Greenfield and turned into a hit by the Everly Brothers). These are apparently demos or recordings not issued at the time.
The rest of the disc consists of seven tracks from King's 1971 album, Music, and five from her 1974 album, Wrap Around Joy, presented in subpar fidelity. Perhaps the people licensing these recordings are claiming they are demos and therefore not pirated from Ode Records (now controlled by Sony). But they are not demos in the usually accepted sense. They are the original tracks as they appeared on the legitimate records, except that the sound is inferior. Maybe they are early, discarded mixes of the tracks, or otherwise unfinished. Who knows? The album contains no annotations to explain the contents.
In any case, there is little reason for a King fan to shell out money for this questionable release. (Note that the counterfeiters couldn't even get the titles right. "It's Gonna Take Time" is really "It's Going to Take Some Time," and "Change in Mind, Change in Heart" is really "Change in Mind, Change of Heart," both songs from Music.)

Christopher Cross - Take Me As I Am - 2017

“Take Me As I Am” is a unique offering from Christopher Cross, a hybrid of sorts – the songs are instrumentals with choruses to create the lyrical landscape.

This is not quite a “guitar” album, but it leaves the listener with no question about his expertise on the subject. Two very special songs are “Roberta,” dedicated to Christopher’s mentor, Joni Mitchell, and “Truth” with a lyric by Rob Meurer, one of the last songs Rob wrote before his tragic passing.
This song is sung as a duet with Gigi Worth, a name that will be familiar to Christopher’s fans. Gigi and Rob were also very close, which makes her performance on this track all the more meaningful.
The album closes with a song in memory of Rob called “Alvah,” (Rob’s middle name), which features beautiful string arrangements by Chris Walden. In Christopher’s words, “It was a blessing to work with all these talented folks in the making of this album which holds so many bittersweet emotions for me. I didn’t expect to make another one, but, as Rob reminded me once, it’s what we do.” Enjoy!
