New fully remastered re-release of Soul Jazz Records’ ‘The World of Arthur Russell’, the seminal collection of Arthur Russell’s essential music back in print on awesome limited-edition heavy deluxe triple vinyl and deluxe CD edition.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This album brings together some of Russell’s best-loved and most accessible works including his wide-ranging music both solo and in groups including Dinosaur L (the essential ‘Go Bang’), Loose Joints (the equally classic ‘Is It All Over My Face’) as well as rarities such as the 7” only ‘Pop Your Funk’, Indian Ocean’s ‘Schoolbell/Treehouse’, Lola’s ‘Wax The Van’ and more.

“Arthur Russell fused the avant-garde with disco and sounds like nothing else on earth.” The GUARDIAN

“Russell is the great enigma of the New York music scene” THE WIRE

“Simply one of the best compilations of this or any year.” RECORD COLLECTOR

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arthur Russell’s music effortlessly crossed musical boundaries making it timeless. His dance music credentials are faultless and this collection features mixes from Larry Levan, Françcois Kervorkian and Walter Gibbons. Similarly, his song-writing, musicality and performance skills are equally cherished as composer Philip Glass wrote, ‘this was a guy who could sit down with a cello and sing with it in a way that no one on earth has ever done before or will do again.’

When Soul Jazz Records’ The World of Arthur Russell first came out in 2003, Russell’s music had slipped into near obscurity. Nearly 18 years later there are over a dozen releases of his music, reissues of his original albums and more. ‘The World of Arthur Russell’ is the classic first collection of his work available once more.

This is one of Desmond Dekker's best tunes from the late 60s originally on a b-side!! Highly recommended

Essential rare groove masterpiece!

E-S-S-E-N-T-I-A-L deep jazz from 1970s Ethiopia! Mulatu is a cult figure for fans of both 1970s indy deep jazz (think Strata East) and African music - his records are highly prized among collectors and break fiends so it's a real joy to have these lovely reissues! This is super-deep space jazz of the highest order!

Highly recommended!

Classic jazz funk album written and produced by the magnificent Mizell brothers! Includes 'Lansana's Priestess'.

C-l-a-s-s-i-c hip-hop album from '94! Nas' debut and not many people would argue - it is his best! Every tune is a hit, but just to remind you of the gems "One Love", "The World Is Yours", "Halftime", and "N.Y State Of Mind". ONE OF THE BEST HIP-HOP ALBUMS EVER MADE!

Seminal 1973 Latin jazz fusion album.

A deceptively great album! Cal Tjader's joint project with Brazilian guitarist Charlie Byrd produced some great forward thinking music including this brilliant version of Airto Moreira's 'Tombo in 7/4' - a Brazilian fusion classic!

Essential Ike Turner! Funk filled LP!

Includes the deep jazz dance Dingwalls classic "You've Got To Have Freedom", a Gilles Peterson favourite and one of the biggest tunes of the day - highly recommended !

Classic collaboration between Madlib & MF Doom. Essential!

This has to be the greatest rare groove album ever: it's brimming with classic tracks such as the 2 step perfection of Heart's Desire, Holding You Loving You, and Never Miss a Thing, and the uplifting disco boogie of Let Your Concience Be Your Guide! What can I tell you? It's a corker! Very highly recommended! You need this album!

Probably the best J.B's album in the world ! Full of great tracks.
Every track on this album is a funk classic - 'Pass the Peas', 'Gimme Some More' 'Hot Pants Road', 'The Grunt', 'Escapism', 'These Are the JBs'. Sublime and 100% essential.

The Holy Grail of modern soul!  Share in the secret and find out why this album is so highly regarded!

Very highly recommended!

The third and final part of Mike Ladd's epic Infesticons concept trilogy, “Bedford Park” sees the remnants of the Infesticons' marching band emerge from a bunker to find out that not only is the war with the Majesticons over, but no one can even remember who either side are. With various guests including Saul Williams, Creature, Juice Aleem and Seraphim (of No Surrender), Ladd fashions a ragged punk-blues noise for this strange, beautiful and funny coda, a sound which has already been described as “Dinosaur Jr by Black people.”

Classic album from jazz harpist Dorothy Ashby, originally released in 1970 on the Cadet label, and produced by Richard Evans! Her funkiest album by far, featuring "The Moving Finger"!

Includes the rare-groove fave "Am I The Same Girl" and the great "Just Ain't No Love"!

Awesome, heavy, heavy bass line hypnotic funk groove like Can, ESSENTIAL for any dancefloor.
