The most important label to me during these years.
The reactivated STRUT releases deluxe reissues of the most amazing music I've never heard before. And is behind some of the best new recordings. Including the wonderful "If You Will" with Flora Purim from 2022, which of course should have won the Grammy for Best Latin Release (if there had been justice in this world).
Some of the essential compilations:
Soul Love Now: The Black Fire Records Story 1975-1993
Oneness of JuJu: African Rhythms 1970-1982
Various Nigeria compilations

Edited 3 years agoGreat label - Quinton Scott must be proud. Wouldn't mind seeing them do more cutting edge compilations, both v/a as per artist (à la Patrice Rushen). For instance a best of Rita Lee filtering out the genuinely funky tracks from her many (often dated sounding) albums.

They produce some fantastic compilations and retrospectives. I just wish they would put the same amount of tracks on the vinyl as the CD. Always a disappointment.
