Gerald Levert [2023] - When It’s Right The Anthology (1991-2007) [SoulMusic Records #QSMCR5211T] (Compilation)


Following recent compilations from Randy Crawford and Dionne Warwick, David Nathan's SoulMusic Records latest box set is "When It’s Right The Anthology (1991-2007)" which is a 3 CD anthology of 45 tracks covering all nine of Gerald Levert's solo albums between 1991-2007 (three albums for EastWest America (1991-1998), four for Elektra (1999-2003) and two for Atlantic (2004-2007)). He released another two with his father Eddie. 

Before, and concurrent with, his solo career he was a member of Levert with brother Sean and Marc Gordon as well as part of the supergroup "LSG" (Levert, Keith Sweat & Johnny Gill). 

The anthology takes it's name from one of his rare tracks previously available only as a bonus track on the Japanese edition his sophomore album "Groove On" (1994).

A couple of other rarities are included: a cover of Rick James & Teena Marie's deep soul classic "Fire And Desire" feat. Sherena Wynn (a cassette only single) and two remixes "Can You Handle It" and "I Wanna Be Bad".

The boxset is available to pre-order from Cherry Red now for release on 21 Jul '23.
