bbe Records have just launched three truly spectacular compilations that real soul fans should check out pronto. First up there’s ‘Lost And Found’ – a big 28 tracker with the first 15 cuts chosen by KEB DARGE and the rest by PAUL WELLER. The selections are soulfully eclectic and featured artists include THE TEMPOS, BIG MAMA THORNTON, TAMMI TERRELL and MARGIE JOSEPH. There’s also THE RADIANTS, THE DELLS and MAJOR LANCE …’nuff said. The second bbe set is down to DJ SPINNA. ‘The Boogie Back’ is a tribute to the great soulful dance music of the 80s and features SOUTH BRONX, FOXY, MTUME, WAR and more … and you can enjoy it mixed or unmixed. The same applies to the label’s third compilation – ‘Disco Love’. Here the picker and mixer is AL KENT (no not THAT one) and his particular focus is the 70s… and though things like CROSSTOWN TRAFFIC’S ‘Love Your Family’ aren’t specifically disco, they are meant to make you dance! Full reviews on all three sets on www.soulandjazzandfunk.com very soon. For more info go to www.bbemusic.com
