TOM MOULTON — A Tom Moulton Mix

10 cds = totally insane, but oh so tempting.

given that this tom moulton box is the first time i've properly dived into the philly sound, i have to say this stuff just sounds so good.

of course, i've heard a few of these tracks before, and even have a couple scattered about on disco compilations/mixtapes, but to have a complete 4 hour session in one box drives home how good it is.

oh, and to top it all there is a 10 minute version of lou rawls 'you'll never find a love like mine', which is worthy of entry price alone.

xpost : the big 10 cd boxset = £40 in the uk

for completion, here is the rundown on the tom moulton set :

Following on from the massively popular Philadelphia International: The Re-Edits package, here is the 2nd release in our special Philly 40
campaign which is celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Philadelphia International Records. Welcome to the hugely anticipated Philadelphia
International Classics: The Tom Moulton Remixes .

Tom Moulton s involvement with Philadelphia International spans the entire 40 years of their existence with many of his early mixes unaccredited in the era before the 12 Disco Disc. In 1977 PIR released the ground-breaking historic original double LP Philadelphia Classics which featured 8 of Tom Moulton s greatest PIR mixes. The album has subsequently been reissued several times and is rightly hailed as a must have classic for ANY serious music lovers collection.

We have now taken all 8 tracks featured on the original Philadelphia Classics added a further 7 lost Tom Moulton mixes which have previously
never been easily available and commissioned a further 16 BRAND NEW Tom Moulton mixes on The O Jay s Back Stabbers , The Intruder s (Win, Place or Show) She s A Winner , Billy Paul The Whole Town s Talking , Robert Upchurch The Devil Made Me Do It , The Three Degree s Year Of Decision and When Will I See You Again , Archie Bell & The Drells Let s Groove and Where Will You Go When The Party s Over , Lou Rawls You ll Never Find Another Love Like Mine and See You When I Git There , People s Choice Jam Jam Jam (All Night Long) , Teddy Pendergrass I Don t Love You Anymore , The O Jay s This Time Baby , The Futures Party Time Man , Jean Carn s My Love Don t
Come Easy and The Jones Girls Nights Over Egypt .

This will be 31 true full-length Philadelphia International Classics in total delivered in a deluxe box with 4 separate CD s plus a 16 page booklet
with sleeve notes by Lloyd Bradley and containing some rare photos of Tom Moulton and Sigma Sound studios.

In short, Philadelphia International Classics: The Tom Moulton Remixes will be one 2012 s most revered releases.
