I sat on this mix, recorded in 2001, because started wonder if f/x like flanger needed to be used on non-electronic music.
I played this one afternoon while a mate from Manchester was in the house, a proper music head who is into the deep soul, funk, & jazz and he said he didn't mind it.
Mind you that was a year ago but after finding this set and giving it another run at high volume on a sparkling day in NYC, I've decided to share.
100% vinyl.
