THE MANY FACES OF...

VA - The Many Faces of Depeche Mode [2018] (3 x CDs)

The Many Faces of Depeche Mode isn’t your typical greatest-hits compilation; it’s something cooler, deeper, and more rewarding for fans looking beyond the usual. While it might not appeal to casual listeners expecting all the classic hits, it offers an exciting mix of remixes, collaborations, and rare gems that showcase the band's wider influence.

The mastering and pressing are top-notch, making every track sound crisp and immersive. One of the standout features is the Vince Clarke Remix of Ride by Dubfire & Miss Kittin; an incredible mix that’s unavailable on vinyl anywhere else. That alone makes it worth grabbing, but there’s plenty more to love, with a solid 75% of the tracks hitting just the right vibe.

If you’re after a straightforward Depeche Mode collection, you’ll find those elsewhere. This one takes a different approach, it explores the group’s connections, influences, and the creative spaces they helped shape. It’s for fans who enjoy the unexpected, the rare, and the cool. Whether you’re a longtime devotee or just dipping into Depeche Mode’s world, this compilation offers something fresh and undeniably special. (B)

This is the last volume of proper "Hair" songs. Next week will be the last in the series, Vol. 7: Trimmed and Cut, featuring songs written for the show but not usually included in productions or soundtrack albums. But this one is a killer, featuring one of my favorite numbers, "Black Boys/White Boys" from the film soundtrack. It intercuts Central Park scenes of Ellen Foley, Laurie Beechman, Debi Dye, a very slim Nell Carter, Charlayne Woodard (both fresh from "Ain't Misbehavin") and Trudy Perkins with scenes from a draft board induction (the panel played by the Stylistics). That number is one of my favorites from the film and is well worth a watch on YouTube if you've never seen it--but if you've gotten this far in the series, I'm sure you have. The film gets a lot of criticism for being too late, too OTT, and just too much in general, but I personally love it. I think it keeps to the spirit of the musical and packs a tremendous emotional punch at the end. As with all creative endeavors, your mileage may vary.

These are more songs that I love from some lesser-known (or almost completely unknown) artists. OK, this one definitely has more artists you've heard of than Vol. 1, but these are some lesser-known SONGS from those artists (at least in America - some of these songs were big hits in other countries). This is the "mellow" compilation. I love to share great music and here's a chance to share it with all of you. I hope you find some new-to-you stuff you like.

(fun trivia (well at least trivia) : These artists represent some sons and brothers of bigger stars, leads of popular bands going solo, multiple-Tony winner, Emmy nominees and for some reason 3 Squeeze songs - see if you can figure out which is which)

Since 1978, DJ Mello Ell created a "Best of" compilation for each year, consisting of his favorite R&B and hip-hop tracks (and occasionally tracks of other genres). But sometimes, he runs out of room or discovers a new favorite after he completes his compilation! Hence, "The Rest of the Best" was born.

VA - Wattstax '72 Soul’d Out, The Complete Wattstax Collection [2023] (12 x CDs)

WATTSTAX

VA - Wattstax '72 Soul’d Out, The Complete Wattstax Collection [2023] (12 x CDs)

This monumental 12-CD box set released by Craft Recordings, captures the full sweep and soul of one of the most powerful cultural events in American music history. This comprehensive collection finally brings together the entire 1972 Wattstax concert, its associated satellite shows, and previously unreleased material, offering a deeper, more vivid picture of the event often called the "Black Woodstock."

Held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and attended by over 100,000 people, Wattstax was a celebration of Black pride, resilience, and artistry. This set showcases a staggering lineup of Stax Records legends, including Isaac Hayes, The Staple Singers, Albert King, Rufus Thomas, Carla Thomas, and William Bell, as well as gospel greats, comedians like Richard Pryor, and community leaders who lent their voices to the event's social and political message.

The collection goes beyond the iconic highlights. You'll hear full-length sets, not just snippets, from artists like The Bar-Kays, Eddie Floyd, David Porter, and The Rance Allen Group. Tracks like Luther Ingram’s “(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don’t Want to Be Right” and Little Milton’s electrifying blues performances are presented in their complete form, many for the first time. The set also includes rare speeches, interludes, and crowd ambiance, capturing the energy of the day with stunning clarity thanks to remastered audio from original tapes.

What truly sets Soul’d Out apart is its scope. It includes satellite concerts from Los Angeles clubs and churches, expanding the narrative of Wattstax into a week-long cultural festival. The beautifully designed packaging and a 164-page hardcover book round out the experience, offering essays, photographs, and reflections from artists, scholars, and attendees.

This is a time capsule. Wattstax '72: Soul’d Out doesn’t just revisit a historic moment; it immerses you in it, reminding us of the unifying power of soul music and the urgency of its message. If you are discovering Wattstax for the first time, this collection is nothing short of essential.

Take a journey through time, sound, and soul, these recordings aren’t just music, they’re living stories meant to move, inspire, and connect across generations. (B)

VA - Rare and Obscure 70s (A Butterboy Compilation) (4 x CDs)

RARE and OBSCURE

VA - Rare and Obscure 70s (A Butterboy Compilation) (4 x CDs)

Rare and obscure music tracks are songs that, despite their artistic merit, never gained widespread recognition or commercial success. These tracks often come from lesser-known artists, underground scenes, or forgotten albums that were released in limited quantities. They can span various genres, but all are Lost to Time. Some artists disappeared after one album or single, leaving behind hidden gems others have gained cult status gaining appreciation years later through collectors and music enthusiasts and many were impacted by limited releases only being pressed in small batches or only available in certain regions.

"Rare and Obscure 70s" is a collection that ventures beyond mainstream nostalgia to explore the forgotten sonic gems of a decade filled with innovation and artistic freedom. Spanning four distinct track lists, Rock, Folk, Pop, and Soul each presenting 32 tracks, unearths the overlooked brilliance of musicians who, despite their talent, never fully reached commercial heights. It is a celebration of creativity unfettered by industry trends, shining a light on music that remains timeless despite its obscurity.

CD1, The Rock Track list encapsulates the raw energy of the 70s underground scene, embracing heavy riffs, progressive compositions, and psychedelic landscapes. These tracks reflect the era’s spirit of rebellion, where musicians crafted intricate soundscapes driven by passion rather than mainstream approval. From blistering guitar work to experimental structures, this segment is a deep dive into the unfiltered essence of rock’s most adventurous period.

CD2, The Folk Track list is a tribute to introspective storytelling and melodic craftsmanship, capturing a range of acoustic textures and poetic lyricism. These tracks embody a warmth and sincerity that remains unparalleled, drawing from tradition while embracing the fresh perspectives of an era in cultural flux. The selection here is rich with evocative melodies and timeless narratives, offering a glimpse into the quieter yet profoundly moving corners of 70s music.

CD3, The Pop Track list challenges the notion that commercial success defines musical greatness. It features melodies and songcraft that, despite their brilliance, slipped through the cracks of widespread recognition. From dreamy harmonies and radio-friendly hooks to boundary-pushing experimentation, this section revives the vibrant and diverse spirit of pop music beyond the mainstream hits of the decade.

CD4, The Soul Track list embodies the heart and groove of the 70s, highlighting powerful vocal performances and deep emotional resonance. These songs evoke themes of love, struggle, and celebration, carried by rich instrumentation and undeniable rhythm. Whether smooth and sultry or raw and impassioned, this collection captures the essence of soul music at its most heartfelt and enduring.

Ultimately, Rare and Obscure 70s is a rediscovery, a tribute to artistry that deserves to be heard and appreciated. These artists, while not as widely known as some of the era’s headliners, have come to be celebrated as rare gems for the way they capture the spirit and innovation of 1970s. By bringing together these hidden tracks, the set challenges listeners to explore beyond the familiar and embrace the beauty found in the overlooked corners of musical history. This is a deep dive into forgotten sounds. Each song in this collection reflects the daring essence of 70s energy (B)

While every effort was made to include only tracks from the 1970s, a few slipped in from just before the decade—but they still embody the spirit and sound of the ’70s.”
