Hi all,

the new double CD of under The Influence 8 arrived to me yesterday, compiled by Woody Bianchi.  It is also available on vinyl.

It has Rideout and Jay Player on CD for the first time plus other songs of interest with good sound on it too.

Jay Player has been on legit cd at least twice via Boogie Times out of France (and now out of print) and this out of Holland, very much in print:

That and the following 2 volumes of the Nighttime Lovers series are particularly strong on the modern soul content, as they are compiled by Thierry Boulanger.

Rideout also appeared on a Boogie Times comp, but these are so out of print that it's good to have them available again.

The track that caught my eye for Under the Influence 8 is this, originally on AVI Records:

 

Those Boogie Times CDs are as you say hard to get (at a decent price) and never released outside France. I had overlooked the Nightime Lovers one.
