VARIOUS – Late Night Tales: Jamiroquai (2023 Reissue with Art Print) – 2LP – 180g Black Vinyl

2LP -Pressed on double 180 gram virgin vinyl. Includes 30cm art print. Including download codes for the unmixed tracks and original DJ mix in MP3 / FLAC / WAV formats.

Late Night Tales reissues the classic and hard-to-find Late Night Tales: Jamiroquai, compiled by none other than Jay Kay himself. The 10th edition of what is now a classic series of compilations was originally released 20 years ago, and hasnt been available on vinyl for over 15 years. A blissful collection of soul, disco, jazz, rare groove, and funk, this collection is an electrifying journey through the aural influences of one of the UKs most seminal jazz bands.

Jay Kay showcases a wealth and breadth of inspiration that wouldnt be amiss on the late-night dancefloors of the Loft (or Giant Steps, for that matter). From The Pointer Sisters uplifting and soulful Happiness and jazz funk legend Johnny Smith Hammonds Fantasy to the anthemic Stay Free by Ashford & Simpson and mellifluous Music Of The Earth‘ by Patrice Rushen, these two discs form a rite of passage into the creative mind of a true musical legend.
