Product Description
Average White Band are widely and rightly regarded as one of the best ever soul and funk bands.

Although probably best known for their global hit, the US #1 single ‘Pick Up The Pieces’, this extensive anthology delves back into their musical history, from the early sessions in 1971, right up to the most recent studio album released this millennium.

‘All The Pieces…’ features the band’s entire catalogue of recorded material on a 19CD box set, which includes all of the original studio albums (and ‘spoilers’ ‘Put It Where You Want It’ and ‘Volume VIII’) in mini-vinyl replica wallets, alternate versions and selected mixes, in this 172-track collection.

The box set includes the collectable re-packaged debut album ‘Show Your Hand’ - ‘Put It Where You Want It’ - whilst ‘Person To Person’ is packaged as a 2 disc gatefold wallet – to reflect the original 2LP set, ‘Feel No Fret’ is packaged as a gatefold release.

The bonus CDs wallet artwork has been created by the legendary John Pasche, who designed the iconic AWB logo.

AWB’s repertoire has been a source of inspiration for many R&B acts, who have sampled their material and who cite AWB’s grooves as a major influence.

The 52-page booklet includes an 11,000+ word liner note by US musicologist, Justin M. Kantor and includes recent historical recollections undertaken with Alan Gorrie and Hamish Stuart.

B.B. King - Life Of Riley DVD

Release: July 9, 2014

.

This is a no holds barred, powerful feature that explores how a black cotton picker from Mississippi turned his life around, battled against all the odds and unrelenting racism to overcome even the toughest critics. Filmed on location all over America as well as in the United Kingdom, this picture brings to life the heat and gin-soaked plantations where it all began. With the full cooperation of the BB King Museum, owners of vaults and archives so precious and immense, that several trips had to be made to America to revisit the collection and partake of its many gems. Prejudice and segregation has stained the lives of countless black person and BB 'Riley' King made sure that through his music, he never allowed it to mar his spirit. This is the essence of the story that makes an astoundingly beautiful film; extremely informative and visually captivating.

Having compiled the singles of such hit-happy artists as Gary Lewis & the Playboys and the Grass Roots, Real Gone Music now turns its attention to another quintessential ‘60s singles band, Spanky and Our Gang, with a 21-track collection that includes every unique A and B-side the band released on Mercury during their spectacular 1966-69 stint with the label! Led by Elaine “Spanky” McFarlane, Spanky and Our Gang had a folk-pop sound oft-compared to the Mamas and the Papas, but their harmonies and arrangements were, if anything, a little more sophisticated and varied, incorporating pop and jazz influences (while admittedly lacking a songwriter of the stature of John Phillips). As a result, the music of Spanky & Our Gang has aged better than many of their more self-consciously psychedelic contemporaries; there is a timeless quantity to their sound that explains why songs like “Sunday Will Never Be the Same,” “Lazy Day,” and “Like to Get to Know You” have remained fixtures on oldies radio over the years. You’ll hear all those songs and every other unique single side (include two differently-titled and mixed versions of Fred Neil’s “Everybody’s Talkin’”) in their original mono single mixes on this collection, which includes liner notes by co-producer Ed Osborne that feature fresh interviews with Spanky McFarlane, producers Jerry Ross and Bob Dorough and arranger Jimmy Wisner along with some great photos. The definitive Spanky and Our Gang single-CD retrospective!

CLASSIC MOTOWN ON BIG BREAK RECORDS


• Stephanie Mills was a native New Yorker having been born and brought up in the borough of Brooklyn. She first tasted success as a singer at the age of 9, winning the famed Apollo Theatre's amateur hour several weeks in a row, which opened the doors to Broadway as a cast member in "Maggie Flynn” and as opening act for The Isley Brothers. Mills big break came in 1975 when she landed the lead role of Dorothy in the critically acclaimed Broadway musical "The Wiz,” based on The Wizard Of Oz. Jermaine Jackson was suitably impressed and was instrumental in helping her get signed to Motown Records to record her second album after "Movin' In The Right Direction” on ABC records in 1974.


• FOR THE FIRST TIME saw Mills team up with legendary song writing, arranging and production duo Burt Bacharach and Hal David, ironically for the last time they would work on the same project together. Given the medium in which she came to prominence the classic standards of Bacharach and David were perfectly suited to Mills theatrical voice as she performs the collection with effortless ease, running the full gamut of emotions alongside the understated and beautifully orchestrated contemporary arrangements. Mills talents come to the fore on tracks such as ‘I Took My Strength From You,’ ‘No One Remembers My Name’ and the single ‘This Empty Place.’


• Alongside FOR THE FIRST TIME Mills 1982 album ‘Love Has Lifted Me,’ (recordings from later Motown sessions that were held back) appears as the bonus tracks on this release.

Actually, it's 5 as "Eaten Alive" is also included. Can't believe this is finally happening, I know BBR have tried to licence these alums but to no avail. I'm happy FTG are doing these, they did a great job on the Evelyn King albums, though their booklets are a bit meh, the sound quality and track selection is always great.

more on Donna Summer reissues...

I'm glad to see that this project is really happening I'm especially excited about the Quincy Jones produced Donna Summer CD being reissued.I wonder if I'm A Rainbow will be different from the 1996 CD? Apparently,that 1996 version was not exactly the way the 1981 album would have been released.For example,one side of the album was planned to be a suite,where the songs would all run into each other (like Donna's late-70s albums).It would be cool if they brought Giorgio Moroder on board,to truly "finish" that album and polish it up a bit.

OH SNAPPY !!!!! Yessssssssssssssssss !!!!!!!

Hope they include "Red Hot Rhythm & Blues", her swan song for RCA. I have the Japan pressing because it included 2 bonus tracks not on the U.S. version. Problem is, whoever mastered the CD turned the sound waaaaay down. Some of the tracks you can barely audible.

Have they verified that all tracks will be from master tapes? I'm still very concerned that they are going to do the same chop job they did with the Tabu Records catalog by using terrible vinyl rips as bonus tracks. I'll have to wait for feedback before I get excited about these particular reissues.

FINALLY!!! Available in August.

We are proud to announce the first CD reissue of the soundtrack to this 1985 hip hop classic. When the soundtrack was originally released, the CD was a brand new and revolutionary product. It only saw a release in Japan and has become a rather expensive collectible. We decided to remedy that with the first ever reissue of the soundtrack on CD. Also included: 2 bonus tracks from the Japanese CD.

1. Chaka Khan - (Krush Groove) Cant Stop The Street
2. LL Cool J - I Cant Live Without My Radio
3. Kurtis Blow - If I Ruled The World
4. Fat Boys - All You Can Eat
5. Debbie Harry - Feel The Spin
6. Sheila E - Holly Rock
7. Beastie Boys - Shes On It
8. Gap Band - Love Triangle
9. Force M.D's - Tender Love
10. Fat Boys, Run DMC, Kurtis Blow, and Sheila E - Krush Groovin
11. Debbie Harry - Feel The Spin Extended Mix
12. Chaka Khan - (Krush Groove) Cant Stop The Street Extened Mix
