Description
This new edition of Soul Jazz Records The World Of Arthur Russell, the seminal collection of Arthur Russells essential music, is released on heavy deluxe triple vinyl and deluxe tip-on Japanese style CD edition.
This album brings together some of Russells best-loved and most accessible works including his wide-ranging music, both solo and in groups, including Dinosaur L (the essential Go Bang), Loose Joints (the equally classic Is It All Over My Face) as well as rarities such as the 7 only Pop Your Funk, Indian Oceans Schoolbell / Treehouse, Lolas Wax The Van and more.
Arthur Russells music effortlessly crossed musical boundaries making it timeless. His dance music credentials are faultless and this collection features mixes from Larry Levan, Françcois Kevorkian and Walter Gibbons. Similarly, his songwriting, musicality and performance skills are equally cherished, as composer Philip Glass wrote, this was a guy who could sit down with a cello and sing with it in a way that no one on earth has ever done before or will do again.
When Soul Jazz Records The World Of Arthur Russell first came out in 2003, Russells music had slipped into near obscurity. Nearly 15 years later there are over a dozen releases of his music, reissues of his original albums and more. The World Of Arthur Russell is the classic first collection of his work available once more.
Arthur Russell fused the avant-garde with disco and sounds like nothing else on earth. The Guardian
Russell is the great enigma of the New York music scene The Wire ? Simply one of the best compilations of this or any year. Record Collector
