.K. funk/rock outfit Jamiroquai has chosen the tracks for the latest edition of Ultra Records' "Late Night Tales" series. Due Nov. 4, the 15-track disc features vintage soul and R&B cuts from the Pointer Sisters ("Happiness"), the Commodores ("Girl, I Think the World About You"), Leon Ware ("What's Your Name") and Marvin Gaye ("Here, My Dear"), among others.

Also included are tracks by Johnny Hammond, Ashford & Simpson, Sister Sledge, Ramsey Lewis and Jose Feliciano. Previous entries in the "Late Night Tales" series include mixes by Groove Armada, Zero 7 and Sly & Robbie.

In other news, Epic will release the Jamiroquai concert DVD "Live in Verona" Nov. 10 internationally (a spokesperson says the DVD will not be issued in North America). It chronicles a June 2002 show in support of the Jay Kay-led group's latest studio album, "A Funk Odyssey," featuring such favorites as "Cosmic Girl," "Virtual Insanity," "Canned Heat" and "Deeper Underground." Soul vocalist Beverly Knight guests on "Main Vein" and "Love Foolosophy."

Bonus features include multi-angle viewing options and backstage footage.

Here is the track list for "Late Night Tales":

"Happiness," Pointer Sisters
"Girl I Think the World About You," the Commodores
"Once You Get Started," Rufus featuring Chaka Khan
"Fantasy," Johnny Hammond
"Whisper Zone," Ramsey Lewis
"What's Your Name," Leon Ware
"Stay Free," Ashford & Simpson
"Tonight's the Night (Good Time," Kleeer
"Pretty Baby," Sister Sledge
"California Dreamin'," Jose Feliciano
"Here's to You," Skyy
"Rainin' Through My Sunshine," the Real Thing
"Here, My Dear," Marvin Gaye
"Music of the Earth," Patrice Rushen

Does this mean I will have to order the DVD as an import? The "Late Nite Tales" compilation looks interesting.I assume that Jay Kay picked his own favorite songs for this CD?

The Live in Verona gig will be shown on the TRIO channel Oct.26th:
