The Classic Cuts series takes seminal retro music genres and delivers slightly deeper catalogue next to the more well-known tracks in order to deliver fantastic packages of in-demand floor fillers alongside some lesser known gems.
The compilation market is full of predictable releases, so to have a series that doesn’t rely on the same old tracks could be a breath of fresh air. Available on both CD and vinyl, the range is perfect for collectors, old and new, plus bedroom and event and bar DJs who will see how carefully the track lists have been compiled.
The vast majority of the featured artists are very well known ; Elton John, Barry White, Chaka Khan, Marvin Gaye, Kool & The Gang, Marlena Shaw, Commodores, Diana Ross, The Supremes & Sylvester. But we haven’t always used the most obvious tracks meaning demand will be high, especially for the vinyl, as many of the included tracks are ones that are selling well as reissues but are expensive as one off items (Sisters Love, A Taste Of Honey, Lamont Dozier, Maze, Cameo, Don Covay & The Undisputed Truth).
The series has a breadth and depth of fantastic catalogue with each release having high end accompanying artwork to complement it.
