Out Monday "Mellow Mellow" comp from Harmless, the final one of the 15th Anniversary releases
Not particularly Northern by any means, but some of you may be into some of these so no harm in posting 'em I guess.
After 4 new Disco Discharges and Trax Re-Edited, Harmless gets back to some Soul again with the final 2 of our 15th anniversary releases which celebrate another two of the label's most popular series from the previous 15 years both compiled by the good Dean Rudland......
Just as an otherwise ferocious Winter draws to end and the first flowers of Spring begin to blossom, lo and behold what could be better then another special edition of another one of Harmless's flagship series, so welcome to "Mellow Mellow" - 15th Anniversary Crystal Edition.
As with the original albums in this flagship series, we present a veritable cornucopia of Mellow Soul delights designed to be played as you're relaxing in the Sun, preferably on a beach or in long field of tall grass. As with "The Breaks" (also released this month) we've utilised the services of compiler extraordinaire Dean Rudland to scour the vaults of various catalogues like Curtom, Philadelphia International, Kelli-Arts, Invictus, Columbia, Epic, Hi, Brunswick, Fantasy, Philly World, Sleeping Bag and Spring to bring you 2 CD's worth of simply delectable music compiled with love and expertise by one of the most knowledgeable Soul Music experts in the world.
Naturally there are a host of tracks which have either NEVER been available on CD before or which are currently unavailable on compilations like Jae Mason's "Cloud Of Sunshine", Maryann Farra & Satin Soul's "Living In The Footsteps Of Another Girl", Side Effect's "Spend It On Love", Anthony White's "I'm So Much In Love With You", MFSB feat Carla Benson's "Tell Me Why" and Millie Jackson and Isaac Hayes' "Soft Lights, Sweet Music & You". Also it gives us great pleasure to finally unearth Eugene Wilde's superlative UK and US smash "Gotta Get You Home With Me Tonight" which has long been unavailable on CD and is always in demand.
As per usual, Harmless will be doing a full-on major Press, Promotion and Radio campaign targeting a much larger range of media then other Harmless releasesas we think"Mellow Mellow" has the potential to reach a much wider audience then most Harmless releases.
So ease yourself into what will undoubtedly be a beautiful Spring this year and make "Mellow Mellow" the soundtrack for the Summer! You know it makes sense!
