CHIC Chic Organization '77-'79

Popis:

September sees the 40th anniversary of Atlantic Records' biggest ever selling 7” single, Le Freak by Chic, and with it the anniversary of their second album C’est Chic. Both feature in this fantastic new box set, The Chic Organization 1977 - 1979. Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards were the creative backbone of Chic and founded the band in New York City in 1976, bringing together music and fashion after being inspired by a Roxy Music concert in London. The band’s first track Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah) was picked up by Buddah Records in 1977 who, with the help of Jerry Greenberg at Atlantic Records, pressed up 1,000 promotional 12” records for radio and club play. The band signed to Atlantic shortly thereafter and in the next two year period, they came to define late 70’s Pop and Disco genres with unstoppable Chic hits including Le Freak, Good Times, I Want Your Love, Everybody Dance, My Feet Keep Dancing, Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah), and My Forbidden Lover. Following the success of their debut album, Jerry Greenberg invited Nile and Bernard to try their hand at production in 1978. The result was another all-time classic Disco album - Sister Sledge’s We Are Family, which yielded yet more of history's greatest Pop / Disco hits: He’s The Greatest Dancer, We Are Family, and Lost In Music.

6LP - 6-Disc half-speed mastered 180 gram vinyl, bringing together for the very first time Nile and Bernard’s full 70’s output, and features four albums, an exclusive bonus disc which compiles all the additional single-only 12” mixes and 7” edits. Exclusive to the vinyl box is a reissue of the Buddah Records 12” promo of Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah) which features the original mix of the track by Disco DJ Tom Savarese. The set has been remastered from the original Atlantic stereo tapes by Miles Showell at the world-famous Abbey Road Studios in London, with Miles also overseeing the half-speed mastering for the vinyl. As executive producer for the reissue, Nile Rodgers has personally overseen all elements of the audio remastering process. All original vinyl sleeve artwork is faithfully replicated. The set includes a booklet with brand new liner notes by esteemed US and UK music writers Touré and Paul Morley.
