about

Some gorgeous soulful boogie tracks right here!!
Philippe Lecauchois, better known in France as "Phil of Boogie Times" and Claudio Casalini, Best Record's factotum, teamed up with the intention of carrying on their identical passion, being devoted to Boogie, Funk, Soul and "Old School Disco".
There couldn't have been a better choice, combining passions and sharing ideals, than a precious gems like "What's the Deal"/"Have You for My Love" by the charming Carol Williams, at that time one of the few singers to take an interest in other creative elements of his art besides singing.
Putting back on the turntable these two magnificent pieces of the "'Lectric Lady" produced by Darryl Payne in 1983 (which made considerable noise in Europe a dozen years ago) will make the hearts of all fans and followers of true soul music made in the USA beat again.
Limited edition, carefully printed at 180 grams with a beautiful lacquered illustrated cover and personalized labels {BTBS-12001]

Love the dub mix and can’t get enough of that saxophone! The production on this is top. I’m a big fan of SA boogie and really appreciate labels like Kalita and others giving records like this the attention they deserve. Thanks for unearthing this banger! Michelle Lynn
