Description

//Late Night Tales//

£26.99 – 2xLP with Art Print plus DL Code for Unmixed Tracks and Original DJ Mix

The 10th edition of what is now a classic series of compilations was originally released 20 years ago, and hasn’t been available on vinyl for over 15 years. A blissful collection of soul, disco, jazz, rare groove, and funk, this collection is an electrifying journey through the aural influences of one of the UK’s most seminal jazz bands. Jay Kay showcases a wealth and breadth of inspiration that wouldn’t be amiss on the late-night dancefloors of the loft (or giant steps, for that matter). from the Pointer Sisters’ uplifting and soulful ‘happiness’ and jazz funk legend Johnny ‘smith’ Hammond’s ‘fantasy’ to the anthemic ‘stay free’ by Ashford & Simpson and mellifluous ‘music of the earth’ by Patrice Rushen, these two discs form a rite of passage into the creative mind of a true musical legend.
