repress - 7 inch black vinyl with a manilla sleeve...
the cosmologist continues their trip around the musical universe, focusing on the records that were formative personal influences. this one is a detour away from the clubs and casts the spotlight on the modern soul world, with these new versions kept sympathetic to that era, but in a way that will still work up a sweat on today s soulful floors.

audiophile re-mastering by ray staff at air mastering, lyndhurst hall, london. pressing on 180 gram vinyl.
the best r&b songwriter and soul singer that most people have never heard of, sam dees has written songs for countless artists, including gladys knight, aretha franklin, whitney houston, george benson, the temptations, teddy pendergrass, millie jackson, jackie wilson, the manhattans, regina belle, kc & the sunshine band, willie clayton, and many others. he’s also a pretty fine singer, having recorded for the chess, atlantic, polydor, and sss labels, and he had a nice string of his own hits in the 1970s.
his 1975 atlantic album “the show must go on” has long been regarded by southern soul aficionados as one of the best of the genre. sounding a bit like a deeper-voiced curtis mayfield (in both style and theme), dees sings with assurance, wisdom, passion, and a whole lot of soul here. songs like “child of the streets”, “troubled child”, & “what’s it gonna be”, share mayfield’s commitment to social commentary, and dees knows his way around a love song, too.

70s soul

beyond the mainstream soul - sad and melancholic songs from the south, compiled by jonathan fischer.

exzellente werkschau der bossa nova-phase von stan getz, einem der größten saxofonisten des jazz. während er mit kompositionen wie -early autumn- (1948) und -long island sound- (1949) zu einem aushängeschild des cool jazz wurde, liess er sich anfang der 1960er jahre vom bossa nova inspirieren, nahm spirit und rhythmus dieser ausserweltlichen neuen musik auf und erschuf seine eigene, sehr elegante prägung, die einen massgeblichen einfluss auf weitere musikergenerationen haben sollte.
