In those clubs funky jazz, latin boogaloo and 70s soul soundracks competed for time on the dance floor with import records from New York, and the latest sounds coming out of bedrooms and makeshift basement studios that created contemporary sounds out of the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcid Jazz’s Eddie Piller and Dean Rudland have put together this compilation of the sort of sounds that we were playing at the time.

They range from The Ballistic Brother anthem ‘Blacker’ to the jazz house of A-Zel – a Roger Sanchez mix that still sounds fresh today. We have the Humble Soul’s instrumental version of ‘Beads Things And Flowers’ which at the time was only available as a DJ special on Acetate.

A New Collection From Acid Jazz (LP \/ CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe are excited to announce the return of the iconic Totally Wired series with a brand new collection on LP and CD. The first 50 orders will include a special art print of the artwork. We are also doing a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.acidjazz.co.uk\/product\/totally-wired-t-shirt\/\"\u003elimited edition T-shirt\u003c\/a\u003e to celebrate this milestone!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1988 Acid Jazz released its first compilation album ‘Totally Wired: A Collection From Acid Jazz Records’. Compiled by Eddie Piller and Gilles Peterson it collated 11 tracks that summed up the early days of our scene, mixing new label signings, cool new records being played in our clubs and a couple of oldies. It sold well to the then small scene and set the template for a series, that in the wake of the international success of The Brand New Heavies, Jamiroquai, The James Taylor Quartet and others exploded. By the time that Volume 5 appeared, we were selling tens of thousands of copies, with major label artists vying for inclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy that point ‘Totally Wired’ was a phenomenon, that sign-posted changes in both the directions of new music, but of the oldies that were played on the scene. It gave DJs new tunes to play and soundtracked 1000s of Cafés and bars the world over in the age of the CD. It was largely retired at the end of the 90s and as times changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the years we have been asked to return to the scene of the crime, but it has never quite felt right, until now. With vinyl back, and the need for easy to digest compilations becoming neccessary in the chaos of streaming’s ‘I can listen to anything I want, but can’t think what that might be’ is evident, but also we are feeling excited about where Acid Jazz is right now. New artists on the label are making great records, Matt Berry has a Top thirty album, and The Brand New Heavies are headlining the Royal Albert Hall. It’s easy to make an exciting album when that is happening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo we are releasing “Totally Wired: A New Collection From Acid Jazz” and treating it like the important milestone that it is. From the Acid Jazz sid we have new and exclusive recordings by Matt Berry, Chris Bangs and new signings Earth-o-Naut and Quiet Fire, there is also a recent white label only 45 cut by the Soul Revivers – released ahead of their new album due this Autumn and featuring Kokoroko’s Shiela Maurice-Grey and Anoushka Nanguy. For the oldies we have dug deep into our own archives to bring you the Acid Jazz Orchestra’s version of Corduroy’s ‘Something In My Eye’ and The Brand New Heavies astounding funk take of Aretha Franklin’s ‘Rock Steady’. These are all joined by recent scene records by Carmy Love – one of the greatest voices in the UK – The Romero Brothers, and BDQ, carrying the series onwards at last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomething In My Eye – The Acid Jazz Orchestra featuring Sherine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSamba De Flora (original full length version) – Romero Bros.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTambores Da Vida (Drums Of Life) – Chris Bangs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoconut Rock – Soul Revivers featuring Sheila Maurice-Grey and Anoushka\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRocksteady – Brand New Heavies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrucifix Lane – Matt Berry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThinkin’ About You – Carmy Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeggin’ – BDQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is Day One – Earth-o-Naut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThat’s About The Time (I Fell In Love With You) – Quiet Fire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"acid jazz","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":52280256168273,"sku":"AJXLP850","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":52280256201041,"sku":"AJXCD850","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0971\/5302\/4337\/files\/TotallyWiredPackshot-scaled.jpg?v=1762347591"},{"product_id":"spring-revisited","title":"Spring Revisited (2LP\/CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen we launched Spring Revisited in March, an incredible collaboration between Acid Jazz, Ace Records and Cosmos Music, we could only dream of the reaction it would receive. We started off with Dmitri From Paris’ mix of Millie Jackson’s ‘We Got To Hit It Off’, gaining universal acclaim from DJs, a Number 1 in the UK 12” singles chart, and the ‘Record of 2025’ at ‘We Out There’ festival: a veritable summer anthem. It sold out on both 12” and 7” vinyl, so it is only right that it opens up the Spring Revisited album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut the series is so much more than that. The mixes that followed from the likes of Kenny Dope, Dave Lee, Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy, Joaquin ‘Joe’ Claussell, DJ Spinna, Opolopo, show how much the music of Spring means to such this dancefloor royalty. Claussell’s reworking of The Fatback Band’s ‘Snake’ gave us another 12” Number 1, and all in the week that the group played a triumphant show at London’s KOKO.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eMore info\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the major soul labels of the 1970s, Spring Records was formed in the late 1960s by Bill Spitalsky and Roy and Julie Rifkind. A hothouse for some of the most essential soul music of the era, the likes of Millie Jackson, Joe Simon and The Fatback Band made their best-known songs and greatest chart hits for Spring. Tracks include Fatback’s ‘(Are You Ready) Do The Bus Stop’, Joe Simon’s powerful, Gamble and Huff-penned ‘Drowning In The Sea Of Love’, and Millie Jackson’s scorchingly confessional ‘If Loving You Is Wrong (I Don’t Wanna Be Right)’. Spring (with its subsidiaries Posse and Event) not only produced the big 1970s soul hits, they also gave us the minor hits and little gems that make soul music so interesting and rewarding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aim of the album is to gather together as many of the mixes as possible into a beautifully designed and presented collection. It is mastered impeccably to play at home, but also in a club as well – just in case you missed the twelve inch singles! With this in mind, the record is presented as a Double-LP package, housed in a beautiful all-green sleeve, echoing the ‘record pool’ stylings of the vinyl singles. It is pressed on colour vinyl (in the characteristic Spring theme of green and white), with sleeve-notes by Frank Tope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTracklisting\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1.
