VA - City Lounge, The Vintage Edition [2008] (4 x CD's)

"City Lounge, The Vintage Edition" is a 4 x CD compilation series released by French independent music distributor Wagram.  After four successful volumes, the City Lounge series is back ... for a very special edition! The Vintage Edition pays a heartfelt tribute to artists who have inspired and shaped lounge music from the 60's. For over 40 years, Lounge has become a phenomenon, mixing Easy Listening, Jazz, Soul, Pop with a touch of Funk and Blues. This edition of City Lounge concentrates on the original sources of Lounge Music, devoting its attention to its most famous ambassadors such as Nina Simone, Al Green, James Brown, and Ennio Morricone. All the music in this set of boxes, when it was first born, none of them were called sofa music, and none of them would be defined as Lounge, but now it sounds like these old-fashioned goods are actually like that of Lounge. Relax, what does this mean? Lounge, it is not just a Music Style, it is also a Mood Attitude. (Amazon)

This box set contains a heap of rare singles that have only been reissued in limited runs on the excellent Jazzman label! Even if you throw out the rest, this batch is worth it for these cuts alone, easily. Great, great, great!
