Description
The 24 tracks showcased here are a gorgeous mix of stone classics and lesser-known 80’s R&B/funk titles pulled from obscure album releases and rare 12" singles. Many cuts make their first appearance on CD. PTG Records presents unpretentious fun grooves from Alphonse Mouzon, B.T. Express, Full Force, Leprechaun, Afterbach and Young & Compan0079. The material verges on disco but still keeps things soulful. Discover more dancefloor-ready stormers by Jerry Knight, Aurra, Carl Carlton, Chew, Alvin Fields and Amuzement Park. Memphis band Chocolate Milk liberates some harder Southern funk energy on the classic "Who’s Getting It Now", off their album Friction. (soon to be released on PTG Records).80’s Soul Classics Volume 2 also digs up rare 80’s bits from The Reddings, Cashmere, Gene Dunlap, Jr. Tucker, Plush and Skool Boyz. To top it all PTG Records reunited a couple of mellow swingers featuring the distinctive hallmarks of mid-80’s R&B sophistication. Lillo Thomas "Your Love’s Got A Hold On Me", The Controllers "Got A Thang" and Paul Laurence "Strung Out" are all premium HUSH products. The jazzier cut "Day By Day" proves that when Shakatak teams up with singer Al Jarreau, nothing can go wrong. Not to be missed either on this compilation is Aurra’s "Live and let live" fine contemporary R&B on the Salsoul Records label and Leprechaun "Loc-it-up" never seen on a compilation before..
