Notes.
Interesting how lots of these have been picked up and put onto compilation albums after being sampled. One exception is ‘Party InMe’ – why hasn’t anyone grabbed the killer stabs in the intro? Maybe they have?
I was hoping to include ‘All Because of You’ by Leroy Hutson, but it’s not on Spotify. Stick with ‘In The Mood’ – it gets much better after the schmaltzy start.
‘The Sound of Music’ is a great antidote to the current wave of autotune awfulness. I guess the talkbox was the autotune of its day, but it still sounds great. I haven’t heard this kitchen-sink mix of this track before.
Still enjoying the various deluxe editions of Marvin Gaye albums on Spotify, so an alternate version of ‘Falling In Love Again’ is included.
Some other highlights – Linda Lewis’s vocals – Evie Sands’ vocals – DJ Day reworks Kool and the Gang’s ‘Heaven At Once‘ – a strange yodelling Louis Armstrong track – and the original ‘Three Is a Magic Number’.
