VA [2023] - Soul'd Out: The Complete Wattstax Collection [Craft Recordings] (Album Selections)


A 12 CD box set "Soul'd Out: The Complete Wattstax Collection" is out today and is also available digitally. I don't propose to post the whole set as it consists of 130 tracks, so instead have cherry picked a selection of tracks from it.

Disc 1-11 are live recordings, the first six recorded at Wattstax on 20 Aug 1972, disc 7-11 at The Summit Club between 23 Sep and 4 Oct 1972 and the last disc consists of studio recordings, several previously unissued. The complete set is just over 12 hours (12:20) and the CD set comes with a 76 page colour booklet.

Personally I think the CD is rather pricey at £181.52 as that's almost £15.50 per disc!

DMB Feat. Mica Paris [2023] - Luv U 2nite [ESOP]


Spot the sample time! A new single out today from DMB featuring Mica Paris which has been titled "Luv U 2nite" (a nod to her "If I Luv U 2 Nite" track from her 1990 album "Contribution"). 

It has been 'mashed up' with The O'Jay's "Darlin' Darlin' Baby (Sweet, Tender, Love)" (1976). The Mica Paris song was also released as a single with a "Nellee's Club U 2 Nite Mix" which is more than likely the version used. 

An intriguing combination, but it seems to work! I've no idea who DMB is/are but they only have three tracks available, all released today. The other two appear to be original songs.

UPDATE: The song was written by Prince and Leigh 'The Flava' Taylor informs us that a Prince demo version was mistakenly pressed on one of the Mica Paris UK promos which isn't listed on Discogs ... so perhaps worth a few bob? Prince's version was released posthumously on "Blast From The Past 5.0" in 2017 (and perhaps others) now included below.
