Not strictly S.S. territory but thought it may be worth posting as there's some belters on here if you like Soul music in general and have fairly diverse tastes. The Nobles track is just brilliant plus Skip Mahoney usually hits the spot, so there's probably a few things of interest on here for S.S.ers. Harold Melvin & The Blue-Notes fans could do a lot worse then check out the two BRILLIANT mid 80's tracks on here which kinda slipped through the net but are just superlative and right up there in HM&TBN's best performances. And if you're into Modern Northern it doesn't get any better than "Let Her Feel It" by Simplicious - a pure Modern belter featuring Eugene Wilde on lead vocals. Has to be heard to be believed. Anyway, here's the spiel...........
A long, long time ago, in the late 1990's Harmless released two definitive must-have albums of great Disco music - Jumpin' Vols 1 & 2.
So, on the 15th anniversary of Harmless Records, we thought we'd knock out another one and try and fill a few gaps in the process......
We managed to track down a healthy dozen or so tunes that don't appear to be currently available on CD anywhere which is handy if you're a collector. So it was a massive relief to track down the current owners of the Philly World and Total Experience catalogues - filled a few more gaps right there for a start.
What we wanted to do was track a particular vibe over a 10 year period from circa '76-'86 whilst keeping with the ethos of the original series. In many ways this particular volume snatches numerous pieces of genius right across that time-span. We did it chronologically 'cos it just made sense. Out in 3 weeks so go buy........
