until I bought this for a CD copy of the Wilton Place Street Band's Disco Lucy. I knew it had been Norman's theme tune for many years but didn't realise he was going to talk all over it. A huge dissapointment as far as I'm concerned !

The CD starts with Norms giving an introduction - I think it's cool. It gives the CD a personal touch which many lack nowadays. If I'm also not mistaken, he has opened with 'Disco Lucy' for years so this is keeping true to that. A nice touch I think, rather than annoying. The personal theme runs through these tracks, mostly sharing a theme of social awareness aiming toward the positive, which I respect. Nearing the end, it all gets more instrumental and gives a very different vibe to some of the earlier tracks, which are very strong in their vocal content. This release really helped to turn me onto Rare Groove, Soul and Funk from the 70's. Some of these can sound pretty naive to an extent, but this to me is the beauty of it all, you can't help but put a smile on your face due to its innocence. The best part of this CD is not the older tracks, but rather the insanely talented releases by UK artists over recent years, which Norms has also included. D'Nell, Low Budget Soul, Jon Kennedy & Karen Wilson (besides others) are making incredibly deep and heavy Soul music!!! All in all, I think this CD superb - it does go a little astray at times with the Tom Clay track - I mean, meaningful at first, but not much shelf life when most of it is actually vocal commentary! However, I own quite a few Normal Jay releases and think this the best. Worth checking out for sure! And by the way, some of the older Soul music on this compilation you are able to pick up on Amazon etc, but my personal favourites you can't. Therefore, largely true to the name with many available on 10/12" only.

As a huge fan of the 'Good Times' series I can assure all potential buyers of this compilation that it's another great set.
Norman Jay doesn't do supermarket chill out/ house, instead he gives the listener an opportunity to broaden their musical tastes by dipping into the lesser known but still instantly accesible tracks from the 'rare groove' genre.
In a nutshell, if you like proper, chilled, non commercial sets and have maybe purchased 'Back To Mine', 'Late Night Tales' or indeed any of Norm's 'Good Times' series, this will be an instant classic to your collection.

I was looking forward to hearing this, mainly for the inclusion of the Quantic mix of Nitin Sawnhey's 'Falling' - alas, I didn't know the version on Giant 45 was INSTRUMENTAL. Read more

Hugely disappointing
I always look forward to compilations from Norman or Joey and neither have failed me upto now. This begins cheesily with Norman talking over the I love Lucy theme, which sounds... Read more
