{"product_id":"london-street-soul","title":"London Street Soul 1998-2009: 21 Years of Acid Jazz Records","description":"\u003ch5\u003eMore Info\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaul Weller, The Brand New Heavies, Leftfield, The JTQ, Mica Paris, The Young Disciples, Alison Limerick, Max Beesley, Moloko and members of Jamiroquai are just some of the artists that turn up on this celebration of the 21st Birthday of one of the most influential independent labels of the 1990s and beyond. \"London Street Soul\" is a look at the heavily soul influenced output of Ed Piller and Gilles Peterson's creation. Once Peterson left in 1989 Piller's modernist vision embraced a gritty mix of soul, beats and retro influences learned in clubs such as Talking Loud at Dingwalls, but that at its height not only encompassed world-wide hits, but also ownership of London's Blue Note nightclub - declared by Time Out in 2000 to be the club of the Millennium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe music on this compilation tells the story of the label from its earliest hits such as the beat-laden `I'm The One' by D Influence and the Brand New Heavies' `Never Stop' - here in the chart-bothering David Morales 7\" mix - through to its recent top 40 hit by Andy Lewis and Paul Weller and on into this year's great hope Twisted Tongue. Along the way we come across the very first production by Leftfied, Sandals' `Profound Gas' which is presented as a previously unreleased 7\" mix. Also here are a largely forgotten performance by Brit-soul diva Mica Paris in a wonderful duet with Mr Exe and most of the Young Disciple hooked up Max Beesley in the Subteranneans. Cloud Nine were Mark Brydon's project immediately before the chart-topping Moloko, that fell apart when a sampling problem drove them apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe great Acid Jazz acts are all here, The JTQ with Alison Limerick on the modern soul classic `Love Will Keep Us Together', Mother Earth with a Brendan Lynch radio mix of `Jesse', and there are also several lesser-known gems that shine through such as the wonderful `Lovesick' by the Nightrains, the jazzy soul of Pure Wildness and the Sun Ra space soul of the Emperor's New Clothes. Also worth noting is the folk-funk on Jinrai who marked the start of a rebirth of the label in 2001.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe booklet is packed full of rare photographs from the label's archive and an in-depth interview with Ed Piller, as he talks through the tracks on the album. It is the first of a three volume series that will follow with \"London Street Beats\" and culminate with `London Street Jazz'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01 Are You Trying To Be Lonely - Andy Lewis \u0026amp; Paul Weller\u003cbr\u003e02 Lovesick - Night Trains feat Marcia Johnson\u003cbr\u003e03 Love Will Keep Us Together (radio mix) - The James Taylor Quartet feat Alison Limerick\u003cbr\u003e04 Never Stop (7\" single mix) - The Brand New Heavies feat N'Dea Davenport\u003cbr\u003e05 Peace \u0026amp; Love - Cloud Nine feat Janette Sewell\u003cbr\u003e06  I'm The One - D-Influence\u003cbr\u003e07 Watch My Garden Grow - The Humble Souls\u003cbr\u003e08 Taurus Woman - The Subterraneans feat Mardou Fox \u0026amp; Jonzi\u003cbr\u003e09 Couldn't Take The Missing You - Jessica Lauren\u003cbr\u003e10 Tears Inside - The Emperor's New Clothes\u003cbr\u003e11 Jesse (Brendan Lynch Radio Mix) - Mother Earth\u003cbr\u003e12 Mindbeam   - Twisted Tongue\u003cbr\u003e13 Ain't No Use - Pure Wildness\u003cbr\u003e14 One Million Smiles - Mr Exe feat Mica Paris\u003cbr\u003e15 Conscience - Double Vision\u003cbr\u003e16 Someplace Else - Jinrai\u003cbr\u003e17 A Profound Gas - Sandals\u003cbr\u003e18 Everybody Knows - Akimbo\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ace","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":51695559541053,"sku":"CDBGPD200","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0096\/1884\/9839\/files\/71g-oMx1GzL._AC_SX425.jpg?v=1778519604","url":"https:\/\/sisterray.co.uk\/products\/london-street-soul","provider":"Sister Ray","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
