Salsoul strutted through many shades during its lengthy tenure but its early 80s funk boogie output was especially vital. Proof, if needed, can be found right here on this brand new fully remastered collection. Ranging from the deep spacey disco chugs of Larry Levan's epic take on Skyy's "First Time Around" and breath taking oomph of Leroy Burgess's "Heavenly" to much dreamier jams such as Surface's romantic dancefloor ballad "Falling In Love" and the poppier sing along of Aurra's "Checking You Out", this is Salsoul at its most direct and funkiest. With edits from Kevorkian, Pettibone and Levan, this marks some seriously important waymarks from disco to house.
