Various Artists - Groove-Diggers presents "Rare Groove" Goes Around: Lesson 1 [P-Vine Japan]

Format: LP pressed in Japan + Obi Strip.

Groove-Diggers presents: a vinyl compilation that explores the essence of rare groove, from popular, groundbreaking tracks that everyone has heard at least once to extremely rare pieces known only to a select few.

Since its launch in 2006, the Groove-Diggers series has been unearthing high-quality records—grooves—of soul, funk, jazz, Brazilian, and Latin music, regardless of genre, nationality, or era, and has released over 100 titles to date.

This is the definitive collection, made possible only by this series, featuring selections ranging from extremely rare records known only to true connoisseurs to absolute hits that anyone has heard at some point.

This first release includes the undeniable hit "You Are the One That I Need" by Chicago funk band Southside Movement and singer Jackie Ross, a groovy soul with a tropical/Brazilian flavor, as well as the euphoric and exquisite free soul "Disco City" from Ernie Story's album "Meditation Blue," an extremely rare record that blends AOR and modern soul, miraculously reissued last year.
