The next vault project is coming

 

[Shirley]

Oh YES PLEASE

 

[supermassive]

Finally an estate that actually wants to fucking work and make some money

 

[ManicKangaroo]

Rumours are that it's only 12" versions, b sides plus a live show from France. No vault tracks

 

[funky]

Ugh this would have been a great era for some vault music. He was churning them out at rapid pace at this point and was scrapping albums before WB even had a chance to feed back on them. There must be more to play with.

 

[Shirley]

There were only two B-sides weren't there? Girls and Boys didn't have a 12" mix and the extended version of Mountains was always a disappointment

 

[Sheena]

Have they abandoned the mega box sets? The fairly recent Around The World In A Day set was the same.

TEN YEARS TODAY

A new single was released to mark the day. Apparently this was recorded by Celine Dion?

 

[funky]

Apparently this new song is a prelude to a “never before released album”

 

[VV]

Celine Dion's version is included on her self-titled album from 1992 that also includes the hits 'If you asked me to' and 'Beauty & the beast'.

It's such an underrated album. The song 'Water from the moon' is a definite highlight!

WTF is Le Festin?

 

[funky]

not Prince that’s for sure

 

[funky]

@Ellie do we know why the NewPowerSoul album is not on streaming?

I'm currently obsessed with the single from the album, which I totally ignored at the time (don't even remember it being released).

 

[Ellie]

Don’t know. Probably a label thing. But I use YouTube Premium for music streaming myself, and it’s on that.

Always liked that album a lot.

 

[Ellie]

I see that 1-800 NEW-FUNK is not even on YouTube. Oh well, no big loss
