I'd add Chicago Trax Volume 1 - all of these are good. ("Pleasure Control", "What's Up Rocky"...)

"The House Sound Of Chicago" I think cost me about 5 euro, it's very good.

Also as a generally magnificent if very broad introduction to house/disco/dance/italo I cannot recommend Derrick Carter's Choice: Collection of Classics double CD enough. Really sent me down some paths.

i really dug the trax 20th anniv comp last year but haven't heard too many others. i need to compare the songs but i don't think there's too much crossover.

i HATE the subtitle: "experimental house". go fuck yourselves, soul jazz. if you guys were really daring you'd be putting out compilations of harry romero or jess & crabbe or jay tripwire. "experimental house" ... sheesh.

here are some good things: 1) you can't front on the sound quality. every track is LOUD and CLEAN 2) every single track is a CLASSIC.

on the other hand i still like this this compilation better. it is the first two discs of a 4cd set (vol 3 and vol 4). i got all 4cds for $3.99 apiece and you should be able to get a good deal like that too, if you do some digging.

Vahid, I'd argue with you about some of that if...I didn't agree with all of it.

huffy in that certain way that only the british can get about "black american music"

So true.

Also the "experimental" tag. I couldn't get ANY of my friends in London to listen to Arthur Russell until one of them heard the phrase "art/experimental disco"!

see, what annoyed me most about the pics wasn't that they were necessarily bad per se, it's just that all of them are things we've seen before / have been floating around the internet / are on discogs. for example, there are better pictures of green velvet on discogs!! soul jazz, of course, uses the photo at top, IN COLOR, which as you can no doubt imagine, looks unbelievably tacky with the booklets stark red/white/black color scheme.

now, i hear a lot about "soul jazz design values" but when you get down to it, what they really have is a cheerful and bold and pop-arty look. but the care doesn't extend far enough into the package ... compare soul jazz with nuphonic or strut! even harmless (underrated label!!) has more informative liner notes!

..or do ALL these tracks appear on a CD set somewhere already?

I have never heard of ANY of these. Am I a Johnny come lately hipster?

LTM does the Factory reissues.

Blood & Fire and Pressure Sounds both do roots reggae and dub. Pressure Sounds also has a sub-label which does late 80s-early 90s dancehall stuff.

Basic Replay does the Wackies reissues and also a lot of Keith Hudson stuff lately.

-I am ambivalent about Factory stuff.

-Don't actually listen to much roots reggae.

-Who are the Wackies? Who is Keith hudson?

Has there been a CD issue of this?

Because I've been asked to digitize all 12 LPs of this box set. I own a copy. So does Matos (his copy is better, vinyl quality wise, but missing LP 8.. mine has all 12, but seems to be in slightly less better shape.) who lent his a while ago.

If a CD issue of this has been made, then there's no need to proceed.

Adam, you have a nearly 100 track mp3 CD I made of this stuff! You better recognize at least some or else I'd be hurt!
