Philadelphia International Records is the label that captured the musical magic of one truly unique city. The so-called Philie sound is a genre all of its own - string laced, orchestral disco that is supremely sumptuous and inescapably joyful. All of its best moments are captured here on this 12 track collection which is packed front to back, top to bottom with eternal classics from Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes to MFSB, The O'Jays to Teddy Pendergrass. You will already know all these tunes but having them together on one handy vinyl aint no bad thing.
