withnail and i remix album
Various - Withnail & I Remix Album
(CD) 2006

a project directed by Alan Gubby (Jung Collective)
"For years I had thought about remixing music & dialogue from Bruce Robinson's comic masterpiece, 'Withnail & I'. In 2001 I finally embarked on the project and have since developed a number of remixes by myself and several UK producers. I obtained permission from EMI in 2002 to reinterpret the lovely acoustic theme Marwood Walks (when Marwood leaves Monty's cottage to explore the lake district for the first time). I have also collaborated with several UK producers (inc. Jung Collective - Nanny Tango / Paul Murphy - Afro Art / Jon Kennedy - Grand Central and others) to produce ambient, jazz, dance and electronic versions of the music and new tracks including dialogue from this classic film. David Dundas (co-composer of the original film score) introduced me to his nephew Rob Kettlewell, in 2003. Rob is now helping us negotiate all neccessary rights for a tribute / remix album to be released in 2006. This should co-incide with a 20th anniversary relaunch of this timeless cult classic on DVD, video and possibly in cinemas. (...) Several mixes are complete & ready to go but the powers that be are insisting we wait until 2006."

Tracklisting includes :
Marwood Walks theme (Jung Collective Percussion Rehash)
Marwood Walks theme (Jung collective Chilled Rehash)
Marwood Walks theme (Buff Plaza Electro Melody Mix)
Marwood Walks theme (Eulogize Trans-European Mix)
Marwood Walks theme (Jon Kennedy Remix)

Hi! We are urgently trying to contact David Dundas or his representation regarding the licensing of the song "Withnail's Theme". We are hoping you might be able to help since we assume that you have done the same regarding your remixes. If you have any info. you could pass along, we would be ever so SO grateful!!!!

Thanks so much,
Andrea

(CD/2LP) Numero Group NUM039, 2012-01-23

Esteemed Chicago-based reissue label Numero Group has been raising the bar of the soul/funk/blues/rare groove compilation standards ever since 2004 and their first Eccentric Soul collection. They even managed to get 2 albums in our 10 Reissues Of Old Stuff That's Been So Cool To (Re)Discover in 2011 selection. Their latest release, Eccentric Soul: The Nickel & Penny Labels is the brainchild of Richard Pegue, a Chicago DJ/producer/writer/arranger of soul records in the 60s and the 70s, and might suffer from the comparison with previous volumes in the label's flagship series - for example the Boddie Recording Co. boxset from last october... But don't let the tracklisting fool you, this new compilation is a new fabulous one, with most of its best tracks to be found in the second half of the CD! Special flavors are indeed to be found in The Halleluiah Chorus' soulful gem I've Got to Find A Way, South Shore Commision's James-Brown-meets-The Jackson-5-on-The-Blues-Brothers-set You Got Me Hummin', Brothers & Sisters's psychedelick shack Don't Let 'Em Tell You or Joyce Williams' flute-heavy The First Thing I Do In The Morning, just to name a few. We couldn't resist playing the two latter one in our january Bag of Goodies mix recorded last weekend which you should be able to download in the coming days...

Square Records - Nirobi Edits - out on Square Records

(limited 12 inch) Square Records SQRC104, 2011-11-16

Summer 2012, Square Records were right there on spot at the start of the current re-edits craze, with amazing reworks from Onur Engin. The latest edition of their highly collectable 12 inches has arrived at the end of last year and as usual it's a 1000 copies worldwide, no re-press and no digital release affair, on which we advise to jump on before it's too late. This time Robert Luis aka Nirobi, A&R and co-founder of Tru Thoughts Recordings and a world-renowned DJ is the guest of honor, with 4 new edits of choice and their augmented dancefloor boogieness. You might be surprised, but even though there's fantastic re-edits from Soho, St Tropez or Paul McCartney in there, for us the revered treasure of the lot is the Mick Hucknall one (yep, the singer from Simply Red!), whose Farther Up The Road originally found on his 2008 Tribute to Bobby (a tribute to the blues musician Bobby "Blue" Bland), should turn all soulful dancefloors upside down, each time, guaranteed! We'll be playing this gem in the upcoming Bag of Goodies mix we've cooked for you last weekend...
