TOM MOULTON — A Tom Moulton Mix

Following on from the recent Top 40 album ‘Philadelphia International: The Re-Edits” and the Current No.21 album ‘Philadelphia International Classics: The Tom Moulton Remixes’, it gives us great pleasure to introduce Philadelphia International: The 40th Anniversary Box Set – the most complete and comprehensive study of the Philadelphia International catalogue to date.

We invited world acknowledged Philadelphia International expert Ralph Tee to return to compile his second Box Set for the label following his previous ground-breaking 14 x vinyl LP box set in 1986 (over 25 years ago) which still regularly sells for £100+ on e-bay and throughout collectors circles. This time Ralph has the added benefit of a further 25 years of experience studying the Philadelphia International operation and a lot more time to play with over twelve and a half hours of pure quality music from one of the greatest labels of all time.

Also included within the package will be a 60 page full-size booklet containing full sleeve notes and track details from Ralph Tee (Ralph is also author of the definitive “Who’s Who In Soul Music”) which will also include a number of archive photos and key album scans.

We are also proud to include within the booklet for the first time ever, a fully comprehensive complete discography of all U.S. Philadelphia International and related labels compiled by Philadelphia International expert David Grimes (aka ‘Phillydave’). An absolute must for all Philly collectors and especially Philadelphia International archivists as there has never been an officially printed full discography before.

All recordings will be fully re-mastered to the highest quality.

We will be doing a series of specially commissioned film clips of both Ralph Tee and Richard Searling interviewing Philadelphia International co-founder Kenny Gamble. This will be distributed via various social network forums, blogs and You Tube in the weeks leading up to release.

Christ!

damnnn. how much does that cost?

10 cds = totally insane, but oh so tempting.

given that this tom moulton box is the first time i've properly dived into the philly sound, i have to say this stuff just sounds so good.

of course, i've heard a few of these tracks before, and even have a couple scattered about on disco compilations/mixtapes, but to have a complete 4 hour session in one box drives home how good it is.

oh, and to top it all there is a 10 minute version of lou rawls 'you'll never find a love like mine', which is worthy of entry price alone.

xpost : the big 10 cd boxset = £40 in the uk

for completion, here is the rundown on the tom moulton set :

Following on from the massively popular Philadelphia International: The Re-Edits package, here is the 2nd release in our special Philly 40
campaign which is celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Philadelphia International Records. Welcome to the hugely anticipated Philadelphia
International Classics: The Tom Moulton Remixes .

Tom Moulton s involvement with Philadelphia International spans the entire 40 years of their existence with many of his early mixes unaccredited in the era before the 12 Disco Disc. In 1977 PIR released the ground-breaking historic original double LP Philadelphia Classics which featured 8 of Tom Moulton s greatest PIR mixes. The album has subsequently been reissued several times and is rightly hailed as a must have classic for ANY serious music lovers collection.

We have now taken all 8 tracks featured on the original Philadelphia Classics added a further 7 lost Tom Moulton mixes which have previously
never been easily available and commissioned a further 16 BRAND NEW Tom Moulton mixes on The O Jay s Back Stabbers , The Intruder s (Win, Place or Show) She s A Winner , Billy Paul The Whole Town s Talking , Robert Upchurch The Devil Made Me Do It , The Three Degree s Year Of Decision and When Will I See You Again , Archie Bell & The Drells Let s Groove and Where Will You Go When The Party s Over , Lou Rawls You ll Never Find Another Love Like Mine and See You When I Git There , People s Choice Jam Jam Jam (All Night Long) , Teddy Pendergrass I Don t Love You Anymore , The O Jay s This Time Baby , The Futures Party Time Man , Jean Carn s My Love Don t
Come Easy and The Jones Girls Nights Over Egypt .

This will be 31 true full-length Philadelphia International Classics in total delivered in a deluxe box with 4 separate CD s plus a 16 page booklet
with sleeve notes by Lloyd Bradley and containing some rare photos of Tom Moulton and Sigma Sound studios.

In short, Philadelphia International Classics: The Tom Moulton Remixes will be one 2012 s most revered releases.

... of the 4CD set (which is great), not the 10

thanks, listening now!

god, this is really great. no way to stay in a semi-bad mood while this is playing, that's for sure.

indeed :-)

http://soundcloud.com/strut/bang-the-party-bang-bang/s-77Fw0

this 4 cd set is by far the best thing i have heard this year ....

so so so so so so so good

so so so so so so so so so good.

whenever one of these versions hit the playlist i go to the machine and go .. 'oooh of course .. '

such a great compilation/boxset ..

Yeah, probably the best disco compilation of them all. (Alongside the the first two or three "Grand 12-Inches" comps.) Basically the only flaw (if you can call it a flaw) that for obvious reasons it only has Moulton's Philly International remixes. Would love to see a career-spanning, multi-label comp of his mixes one day, but I guess licensing issues would make it impossible?

well, this set was a pure philly deal ..
but yes, a career defining set would be amazing ..
whether possible is another question.
but damn .. how awesome would such a thing be !

are you guys talking about the one with tracklist in the OP? this one is more complete http://www.discogs.com/Tom-Moulton-Philadelphia-International-Classics-The-Tom-Moulton-Remixes/release/3498587

and coincidentally i've been listening to it all day

@flopson : thats the one that i have.

tis 4 cds of pure perfection.

has convinced many of my friends as to the brilliance of disco.

i mean 10 minutes of philly vs lou rawls !

time to melt in the sheer velvetness of the groove.

Yeah, the 4 CD is what I was talking about too.

it's the best thing ever

glad to see we agree.

If you like to hear some of Moulton's pre-PI mixes, this comp was reissued on CD a few years ago, it's pretty awesome too. "Make Me Believe in You" (originally a Curtis Mayfield production) is woderfully gritty and ballsy, and "We're on the Right Track" is one of the most beautiful tracks he ever remixed.

yeah those two patti jo tracks are something else

oooh . not seen that around tuomas.

i need that.

ta for the pointer.

just bought that boxset the other day, (the moulton, philly intl one), it is fab. Great liner notes, too, moulton seems like such a rad dude in every interview i've read (like 2)

agreed.
there is a current thread re bands and books in a few years.
i would love to read toms take on the disco era.
though i am concerned he is a little too nerd-esque re editing tapes etc, given the perfection of his mixes.
surely he had to be a full on part of the studio 54/disco excess experience ?

it's so mindblowing reading/thinking about the first 12" records and improvements in audio tech in the 70s, i mean, holy shit, dancers must have been practically hallucinating hearing music sound so good in a big space for the first time.

Funny I didn't revive this earlier. Anyway, Moulton's been putting up unreleased mixes on Bandcamp. No details per se -- new? old? stuff he did for fun? -- and you gotta wonder about the exact rights issues but nonetheless:

Very imformative thread, thanks! A couple mentions on Rolling Reissues 2020:
From the writers of 'Last Night A DJ Saved My Life', Bill Brewster & Frank Broughton have come up trumps again with this fabulous book 'The Record Players'!!!

Leading dance music writers Brewster and Broughton detail the visionary DJs who dramatically changed the course of music: from the very first nightclub DJs, to the founders of entire genres, including northern soul, hip hop, disco, techno, drum’n’bass and beyond.

These are the obsessives, the playboys, the musical eccentrics who founded the craft of DJing, developed amazing techniques for performing with recorded music, and revolutionised the way music is conceived, created and enjoyed. They gave us new ways to have the times of our lives and forged a worldwide industry of nightlife and dance music. From unsung pioneers to overheated superstars, all the biggest DJ names are here!

Includes Tom Moulton, Francois Kevorkian, Louie Vega, Marshall Jefferson, John Peel, David Mancuso, Alfredo, Shut Up & Dance, Danielle Badelli and lots, lots more!!!!!

Also just listened to...soundtrack to Tim Lawrence's book, Love Saves The Day: A History of American Dance Culture, 1970-1979, and it's a trip, as expected..."Above And Beyond" is certainly the most sensitive Edgar Winter track I've heard: voices and synths guided through sunset-tinged blue skies by Tom Moulton's production.

― dow, Thursday, July 30, 2020 Descriptions off the cuff, on the fly! Of course.

Yeah the Tim Lawrence book 'soundtracks' on Bandcamp are truly great.
