Rare Pleasure - Let Me Down Easy - 7-INCH SINGLE [7 inch Vinyl Disc]

This is the story of how a tiny tag from New Jersey changed the course of music history not once but twice. Cheri Records was established in 1974 in New Jersey and run by one Boo Frazier. Cheri's output was limited, producing a catalogue of just eleven releases between the years 1974 and 1982. On the face of it, this appears to be insubstantial output. However, if you dig a little deeper, the quality released on Cheri Records reveals an exceptional legacy of groundbreaking music.A dark horse in the world of record labels, a true unsung legend that would go on to alter the course of musical history and intersect with a remarkable array of talented artists, bands and DJs. From Rare Pleasure; Sandy Barber; Julius Brockington; Boo Frazier; Patrick Adams; Tom Moulton; Larry Levan and MF Doom Cheri Records has directly impacted their artistry in significant ways. Cheri's influence even extends into the present, with DJ icons like David Morales, Dave Lee, Danny Krivit, and Colin Curtis continuing to champion it's contributions.This compilation brings together the most compelling tracks from the Cheri Records catalogue, shedding light on the tag's extraordinary story and underscoring the idea that music, no matter how unassuming it's origins, can transcend boundaries and reshape, influence and inform music to come for future generations. This collection also represents the start of a new series here on Miles Away, a series that will delve into the labels and studios that were responsible for leaving a lasting imprint on the musical world. We've named this series 'Echoes From... ' and this compilation will be the first of many. The vinyl package comes in a gatefold sleeve with in-depth liner notes and features interviews with Colin Curtis and David Morales.Tracklisting A1. Rare Pleasure - Let Me Down EasyA2.
