Sorry guys if this has been discussed before but it was only today that I ripped the cellophane from the box of 4 CD's that Harmless Records have released over here in the UK.
I think I've been looking forward to this more than anything else so far this year with a couple of exceptions.
So far I've not been dissapointed at all [[not that I ever expected to be so) staying faithful to the original master Mr Moulton has injected a whole new life into tracks that have become part of my life in their original form and in some cases has recscued them from being in the 'over familar' bracket.
The O'Jays - Backstabbers is just kickin' and the Intruders, Win Place Or Show just magical.
Using only original elements Tom has produced one of the most crucial and influential remix packages EVER and if you are reading this Tom stand up and take a well deserved bow.
These new mixes are breathing new life into material that was already up there amongst the best recordings ever and this will appeal to those of us who have come to love both TSOP and Tom's work.
I've said it before but that doesn't mean I'm not going to say it again - it's time for a similar box set from Tom on all my favourite Motown tracks - what I'd give to see and hear that.
Oh PLEASE those strings on Love Train are amazing........and This Time Baby says it all THIS TIME BABY they have got it RIGHT.
