V/A - Philadelphia International Classics - The Tom Moulton Remixes: Part 2 [Philadelphia International Records]

Format: 2x12" in printed sleeve.
CAT: PIR2019002

The legendary alliance between New York disco godfather Tom Moulton and Philadelphia International Records has been widely documented. A truly explosive collaboration that resulted in countless classics for both the dancefloor and discerning listeners. Moulton seemed to be completely in tune with the label's sound and the direction it should take. Luckily, for over 30 years now, we have been enjoying the fruits of that labor, with many of these PIR classics rooted in the modern listener's mind as fundamental pillars of house music.

Another stellar volume that is an essential purchase for any disco lover. It includes a host of legends from the golden age of Philly sound and beyond: Archie Bell & The Drells, People's Choice, Lou Rawls, and Teddy Pendergrass, all expertly shaped by Tom Moulton's exceptional ear in this special PIR reissue in double 12" format, bringing together some of these artists' most iconic tracks in their full, unedited versions, in all their disco glory. The selection on this EP is top-notch, impeccable. One could even say that these are the definitive versions of these anthems. Pure disco gold, absolutely essential. Anyone with the slightest interest in disco needs this vinyl in their collection: the 2012 edition of this EP is highly coveted among connoisseurs and can fetch high prices on the second-hand market, so it was undoubtedly time for a reissue.

These tracks are fully licensed and reissued in collaboration with Tom Moulton, PIR, and all relevant rights holders. Remastered from the original sources to the highest standards and pressed on top-quality vinyl, courtesy of Above Board Distribution for 2019.
