ABOUT THIS ITEM

For the past three years the Shoes label have been sneaking out re-edited funk, soul, disco and jazz cuts for our listening pleasure. Now those 12" selections (most of which are long out of print) make it onto this double round-up CD featuring the best of the bunch. Always at the better end of the edits market, Shoes tweak, loop and extend the best bits of original tracks, highlighting the good bits. Includes versions of Bill Withers "Grandma's Hands", Bob James "Nautilus", The Chi-lites "Are You My Woman?" (the basis of Beyonce's monster hit "Crazy In Love"), The Meters "Oh Calcutta!" (looped-up on Amerie's massive "One Thing"), a whole slew of Miles Davis numbers get reggaefied, broken and funked-up and much much more besides. 22 edits in all, and all very good.
