Reédition de Marvin Gaye 'I want you' en
version deluxe 31/07/03

Ca avait été anonçé pour
l'année dernière et là c'est officiellement sorti le 29 juillet aux US avec des versions inédites.
Dans la foulée le Leon Ware "Musical massage" est aussi réedité. Du bonheur pour nos
oreilles... "I want you... and you want me...So why don't we...Get together...After the
dance..."

Un petit article wegofunk sur Marvin lire >>>

Pour les bilingues voici
le détail des réeditions:

The complete story of the making of Marvin Gaye's sensual
tour de force 'I Want You' is finally told in music and text with the July 29, 2003 releases of
Gaye's 2-CD 'I Want You - Deluxe Edition' and Leon Ware's 'Musical
Massage
Expanded Edition,' both from Motown/UME. A highly unusual yet fascinating
release, the two reissues are musically and thematically intertwined.

'I Want You -
Deluxe Edition' features Gaye's original #1 R&B/#4 Pop 1976 album, digitally remastered,
including the #1 R&B/#15 Pop title track and Top 20 R&B "After The Dance." Added are one
previously unreleased and two rare
single mixes, plus a second disc encompassing an
entire alternate, unreleased version of the album that includes different vocals, new and
alternate mixes from the original session reels, and three session outtakes.

Gaye's
original album, his first studio album since the smash 'Let's Get It On' (also available in a
two-CD Deluxe Edition), is a passionate love poem to Janis Hunter, his soon-to-be second wife.
The 'I Want You - Deluxe Edition'
28-page booklet comes with an emotional introductory
essay by Jan, rare family photographs and essays detailing the sessions.

'Musical
Massage - Expanded Edition' is the U.S. CD debut of the overlooked 1976 album from Ware,
the producer and writer of 'I Want You.' Considered a classic of romantic funk, 'Musical
Massage' is expanded with five rare tracks:
three previously-unreleased-anywhere and two
previously-unreleased-in-the-U.S., all from the 'I Want You' sessions. The CD booklet
includes an essay by Ware.

'I Want You' began with Ware, who had earlier written
for Ike & Tina Turner, Michael Jackson, Minnie Riperton, Quincy Jones and others, and in
1975 was working on tracks for his own album. He was also putting together a demo
for
co-writer T-Boy Ross to become a solo artist. When Motown chairman Berry Gordy
heard the songs, he felt they were better suited for Gaye, who hadn't been in the studio for
two years. Gaye so loved them that he asked Ware to produce and co-write his entire next
album.

The single mixes are the promo-only, yellow vinyl version of the title track; the
rare B-side instrumental version of "I Want You"; and the previously unreleased instrumental
version of "Feel All My Love Inside," titled "Strange
Love." Disc Two, The Sessions:
Alternate Mixes, Alternate Vocals & Outtakes, opens a window into the making of the album.
Featured is a moving acappella and rhythm mix of "I Want You," and a different lyrical version
of "I Wanna Be
Where You Are."

Ware's 'Musical Massage' was issued a few
months after I Want You and was eclipsed by the shadow of Gaye's album. But from
"Learning How To Love You" to "Instant Love" (with Riperton), "Body Heat" to "Turn out The
Light," Ware's
falsetto proves among soul's most haunting. The bonuses are five original
versions of tracks re-made by Gaye for 'I Want You,' including "Don't You Wanna Come," a
rough demo for "After The Dance."

The genius of both Gaye and Ware on 'I Want
You' has since been heard in the grooves of Prince, R. Kelly, Madonna, Mary J. Blige,
Method Man and more. 'I Want You' and 'Musical Massage' are aural sex at its
finest.

J'avais les
tuyaux de ma copine d'Osaka qui a fait la trad en Japonais du même bouquin...

Quand
à Sister Sledge si Kathy est de retour çà devrait être super bien.. si ce sont seulement les trois
autres, Debbie, Joni et Kim, on a déjà vu avant et c'est gentillet.... C'est vrai que toutes
lesparties lead étaient tenues par Kathy avant son départ pour une carrière solo qui fit long
feu...

SOUL II SOUL sort
bientôt un nouvel album (et quand on connait la qualité des productions de Jazzy B :sm2:
)

La suite là...

With the keys to six American cities and numerous Gold discs,
Jazzie B is
one of London’s biggest and most influential success stories of the late
80s
and early 90s. From their beginnings as the Jah Rico sound system
playing
community centres in London and selling Funki Dred t-shirts in Camden, the Soul II
Soul collective became an institution during the mid-80s, from
throwing rammed parties at
The Africa Centre in Covent Garden to embracing international stardom and global chart
success with classic anthems ‘Back To Life’ and ‘Keep On Movin’ – plus many other huge
selling hits over that decade.


Within the then suffocating climate of selfish super
clubbing, the
philosophy the Soul II Soul crew exuded at the Africa Centre parties came as
a much needed breath of fresh air. These parties set the benchmark for a new phase in
clubbing. The vibe was warm and the crowd were included, whatever their background: ‘a
happy face, a thumpin’ bass for a lovin’ race’. The club took the concept of the reggae sound
system and fused it with 70s soul and funk which, alongside Norman Jay’s Shake & Fingerpop
warehouse parties, became a central part of the London rare groove revival, breaking anthems
like Maceo’s ‘Cross The Track’ and The Naturals’ ‘Funky Rasta’ – both of
which are
included on this album.

Soul II Soul Recordings and Casual Records present the
definitive story of
the rise of Soul II Soul. This exclusive mix by Jazzie B covers many of
the
anthems played at the Africa Centre, as well as ‘specials’ which were
recorded for
Soul II Soul by the likes of Shabba Ranks, Horace Andy, Caron Wheeler and Junior Reed.
The album also features a bona fide police raid at the end of the mix. The full package
includes extensive sleeve notes by Lloyd Bradley, author of the ‘Bass Culture’ reggae
anthology, with a plethora of rare photos, original soul II Soul artwork by designer Derek Yates
plus flyers and memorabilia. This is an essential document of UK clubland history. Come get it
pronto.
