    The Best of Perception & Today Records Complied by DJ Spinna & BBE Soundsystem

    BBE

    Perception Productions, a New York based label that ran from the late 60s through until 1974, was a strangely eclectic affair. When Perception closed its doors in 1974 it had been producing records for nearly 5 years. It’s left behind a legacy of great soul, funk and jazz which is contained within this compilation.
