| | BBE Records proudly presents its 5th and arguably most exciting | |
| | compilation with the French dj and ambassador of disco, Dimitri | |
| | from Paris. This compilation focuses on Dimitri?s essential disco | |
| | era tracks - made in Philadelphia, that feature the core of the | |
| | rhythm section that created and defined the sound of the genre. | |
| | For this compilation Dimitri has exclusively reworked 5 tracks | |
| | from the original multitrack tapes of Gamble and Huff with a | |
| | further 4 being edited from the original 2 track stereo masters. | |
| | | |
| | It should be noted that nearly all of the disco output from | |
| | Philadelphia between 1973-1980 featured the work of the same | |
| | studio musicians known as ?The Family, MFSB (Mother, Father, | |
| | Sister, Brother), The Salsoul Orchestra, Baker - Harris -Young | |
| | Productions, The John Davis Monster Orchestra or the Montana | |
| | Sextet depending on who the recording was for. The classic line | |
| | up of musicians included Karl Chambers and Earl Young (Founder of | |
| | The Trammps and creator of the disco drum pattern which laid the | |
| | template for every dance record since) on drums; Norman Harris, | |
| | Roland Chambers, Bobby Eli (Original MFSB member), and TJ Tindall | |
| | on guitar; Winnie Wilford and Ronnie Baker on bass; Vince Montana | |
| | (vibes/arranger and founder of the Salsoul Orchestra) and Larry | |
| | Washington on percussion and Leon Huff, Thom Bell and Ron Kersey | |
| | on keyboards. Don Renaldo taking care of strings and horns | |
| | featuring soloist John Bonnie Rocco Bene on Trumpet. | |
| | Last but not least the remixers and Tom Moulton (Pioneer of the | |
| | Disco Mix, the 12 inch vinyl format, the break down sections of | |
| | records and supplier of missing masters for this compilation) who | |
| | influenced the popularity of songs with his legendary mixes. For | |
| | Salsoul Walter Gibbons was the owners choice. Honorable mentions | |
| | go to Larry Levan and Shep Pettibone for their contributions in | |
| | this field. | |
| | These guys were the bridge between the labels and the club | |
| | dancers and understood how to make a record work in a club. | |
| | | |
| | Undisputedly, as producer?s Thom Bell and Gamble and Huff's | |
| | Philadelphia soul sound evolved from the simpler arrangements of | |
| | the late 1960s into a style featuring lush strings, thumping | |
| | basslines and sliding hi-hat rhythms; Philadelphia gave birth to | |
| | and defined the brand new Disco genre. The anthemic ?The Love I | |
| | Lost? is recognised as the first commercial disco record and was | |
| | recorded at the legendary Sigma Sound Studios, Philadelphia in | |
| | 1973. Recording engineer, Joe Tarsia founded Sigma Sound in 1968 | |
| | where virtually of all the disco recordings on Gamble and Huff?s | |
| | Philadelphia International, Salsoul, Philly World, Gold Mind, | |
| | Atlantic were made, thereby maintaining the unique sound of | |
| | Philadelphia. Located at 212 N. 12th Street in Philadelphia, it | |
| | was the second studio in the USA to offer 24-track recording and | |
| | the first in the country to use console automation. David Bowie | |
| | recorded his Young Americans album at this legendary studio as | |
| | was Dusty Springfields - A Brand New Me, while Elton John's 1977 | |
| | Philadelphia sessions were in such demand recently that they | |
| | provided a hit single ('Are You Ready For Love') and CD re-issue | |
| | 3 decades after the recordings were first made. | |
| | | |
| | By 1975, Philadelphia International and the Philadelphia soul and | |
| | disco genre?s it helped define had largely eclipsed Motown and | |
| | the Motown Sound in popularity and Gamble and Huff were the | |
| | premiere producers of soul with nearly 200 gold and platinum | |
| | records to their credit. Salsoul capitalized on the success of | |
| | the sound by employing the same musicians whilst focusing on club | |
| | music predominantly. | |
| | In a recent Blues and Soul interview Kenny Gamble admits to | |
| | passing over Prince?s demo. Other acts for whom Philly | |
| | collaborations didn?t happen were Miles Davis, Bob Marley, Barry | |
| | White and Earth Wind and Fire. Time simply didn?t allow these to | |
| | happen. | |
| | | |
| | Notable acts rushed to Philadelphia to capture the sound. Ex | |
| | Motown cohorts The Jacksons and Eddie Kendricks utilized the | |
| | above classic line of musicians up to embrace the new sound and | |
| | extend their careers. Simultaneously, Salsoul Orchestra and the | |
| | John Davis Orchestra were essentially basically a moniker core | |
| | rhythm section of MFSB and recorded several disco hits outside of | |
| | the PIR umbrella. | |
| | | |
| | Now for the first time ever Gamble and Huff have given a label | |
| | access to the multi track tapes of some Philly International | |
| | platinum selling classics such as The Love I Lost, Bad Luck | |
| | featuring the vocals of the late great Teddy Pendergrass, the | |
| | first black male to release 5 consecutive platinum albums in the | |
| | United States. | |
| | | |
| | Dimitri's selection on CD1 traces the evolution of the 70?s disco | |
| | groove from the first ever disco hit record, to the rejuvenation | |
| | of the Jackson 5?s career. Interspersed with obscurities such as | |
| | Charles Mann to the magnificent Teddy Pendergrass, Philly | |
| | International?s answer to Marvin Gaye. CD2 of the compilation | |
| | pays homage to the original creators and innovators of the remix | |
| | and extended edits with reworkings exclusively by Dimitri from | |
| | Paris. | |
| | | |
| | This tribute to the creators of disco is presented on a limited | |
| | edition 10,000 copies double cd. Multiple deluxe vinyl | |
| | exclusively featuring Dimitris remixes and edits. | |
