The songs on this new Teddy Pendergrass compilation hardly need any
introduction. The CD Version of "John Morales Presents Teddy Pendergrass, The Voice, Remixed With Philly Love" consists of seven tracks when he was with Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes and eleven solo tracks.
This is what the label, BBE, writes about John Morales' remix
treatment:
"The masterful, revealing remix work of John Morales affords these
classic songs improved clarity, allowing each individual player more
space to be heard and modernising the recordings without ever losing
sight of the original spirit. The virtuoso quality of the songwriting,
production, arrangements and performances shine forth anew, and so do
some of the music’s subtler qualities and nuanced, sometimes
conflicted, subtexts that might have been overlooked in the most
conventional view of Pendergrass in his prime."
The compilation will be available on 3 x vinyl (£35) or 2 x CD (£20) on
25 Feb 2022 and is available to pre-order from
