VA - The New York Sound: From The East Coast To The Future (2006)

Seminal club tracks from the New York underground at the end of the 70s - a host of killer singles from the Spring, Vanguard, and Posse labels - all in a fantastic blend of boogie, disco, electro, and soul! The work here is easily some of the most sophisticated to come out of the east coast club scene at the time - a real return to indie genius after disco broke heavily in the mainstream, almost a reinvention of the groove with a host of new elements! Some of these tunes will be familiar, but they're presented here in their full extended versions next to others that have been un-reissued for years - making the set an essential batch of tunes that really gets at the best sound of New York from these years!
