It was always a magical moment buying the latest vinyl release and seeing the words A Tom Moulton Mix' at the bottom of the label leading to an air of anticipation. That excitement of what one was about to hear knowing that the mix would add a touch of class that would expand on what the original version would have sounded like. Tom can, quite literally, add the Philly sound to just about any track he is given to remix. His genius made him his name' Steve Handbury (extract from the sleeve notes)
Well, it's a historic occasion and when the folks at Harmless realised they were coming up to their 100th release they knew it better be something special
Already one of the most anticipated releases of the year by the disco aficionados, Philly Re-Grooved: Tom Moulton Remixes puts the world's greatest and most respected veteran mixer of all time with one of the first labels which catered to the emerging Disco sound of the early 1970's Philly Groove.
Philly Groove exploded onto the world stage with a huge brace of hits for the Delfonics then subsequently followed through with the international smash Armed And Extremely Dangerous by First Choice which well and truly ushered the Disco age into worldwide consciousness. Philly Groove followed through with a slew of beautifully recorded gems from the likes of Tapestry, Nat Turner (featuring Major Harris), Finishing Touch and further Disco smashes from First Choice, The Delfonics and the Philly Groove Orchestra (essentially M.F.S.B. under another name).
However most of Philly Groove's prestigious output was released before the 12 inch format was invented (co-incidentally by Tom Moulton himself). When the opportunity arose for Tom Moulton to go back to the original 2 masters of these early Disco gems and remix them he jumped at the opportunity. So finally we are treated to the full glory of the Philly Groove catalogue remixed for the full 12 versions by the master himself. THAT'S why it is Harmless' 100th release!
Also includes the hard-to-find We're On The Right Track by Ultra High Frequency and two fantastic bonus tracks which are blowing up on UK Radio and Club's right now the wonderful Don't Put Me Down by Finishing Touch and the utterly sensational Whatcha Gonna Do Heaven n' Hell which will be one of the soundtracks to Summer 2010! Get ready to experience a legend at work!
