Acid Jazz, the brainchild of Eddie Piller and Giles Peterson was born in 1987 and immediately hit a chord in the UK by appealing to a cross section of serious fans from old school Jazzers, serious Jazz-Funkers, passionate Soulboys, sharp-dressed Mods, nodding Hip-Hoppers and even laid back Dreadas.

Before long the tentacles of the Acid Jazz movement were spreading throughout the world and what began as a bedroom label between two mates soon became a mecca for various tribes who had become disenfranchised from other scenes. From international breakthrough successes like the Brand New Heavies, Jamiroquai and the Totally Wired series, Acid Jazz cemented it’s image as one of the most iconic and unique UK record labels of the last 3 decades.

Harmless Records is proud to present a beautiful collectors box set featuring:-

1 x square secure box with the Acid Jazz logo in embossed silver foil * 4 x Audio CD’s + wallets * 1 x video DVD + wallet featuring an exclusive interview with Eddie Piller & Dean Rudland plus 12 vintage Acid Jazz promotional videos * 1 x 20 page booklet featuring the Acid Jazz story with unique pictures written by Dean Rudland and Eddie Piller * 1 x 52 page booklet featuring the Acid Jazz artwork throughout the last 25 years * 1 x 7” vinyl record featuring 2 unreleased original Acid Jazz recordings exclusive to the box set
