VA [2021] - Philadelphia International Records: Dimitri From Paris Remixes [Sony] (Full Album)


If you haven't already had your fill of PIR remixes this year then yet another one was released today (10 Dec 2021). This time at the hands of Dimitri From Paris (Dimitrios Yerasimos who is actually Turkish) and all songs are from Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes and Teddy Pendergrass.

The set kicks of with  an almost 12 minute version of one of their best "The Love I Lost" which came as a surprise to me when I heard this being played on Northern Soul dance floors only a few years ago. I thought that this was a massive pop hit, and upon checking, it was #21 on UK pop chart in Feb 1974 and their second biggest US hit after "If You Don't Know Me By Now", but of course anyone under the age of 50 wouldn't remember it but surely you must have been living on the moon to have never heard this on radio at some point in your life? Anyway, if 12 minutes wasn't long enough for you there are another two versions, a super disco blend take 2 and super disco instrumental taking up a third of the 102 minute set. ... 'If You Don't Know Me By Now?' ... you will after this set!

There are also three versions of Teddy P's "The More I Get The More I Want" and  two of "You Can't Hide From Yourself" leaving space for just three of  HM & Blue Notes songs "Bad Luck", "Tell The World How I Feel About 'Cha Baby" and "Don't Leave Me This Way".
