Customer Reviews
Quality
GP picks some winners here. Darondo's "Didn't I" is worth the price of admission alone. The previously undiscovered version Baaska & Scavelli's elusive "Get Off The Ground" (AKA The Bottom End), a mythical track on the jazz dance scene really is the icing on the cake.
Don't listen to that guy below!
Ignore the previous reviewers comments, this is a strong set of rare soul/funk/jazz tracks - the type that Peterson seems to compile with relative ease. I have MANY of these types of compilations and this collection is a solid one with no filler.
Any of these tracks could have come from Peterson's golden era when he presented on Sunday Nights for Kiss FM. Heads that dug his 'Vibrazone' will find plenty to enjoy here.
Brownswood Bollocks
Peterson has great taste in music that is a given - I have danced my ass off at Dingwalls on many a sunday and collected tracks just beacuse he played them. This particular collection is a very ordinary assembly of soulful (yet somehow unexceptional) records that are familiar simply because they 'fit' the 'aural' profile of the Giles Peterson sound.
This is just Marketing.
The Marva Josie track is so undeserving of being played through you have wonder with the sheer number of releases from this label if the cellar is running out of undiscovered gems?
