About this product
Most comprehensive retrospective of King and Paul King's recording career. Includes the hit albums 'Steps In Time', 'Bitter Sweet' and 'Joy' in full plus numerous bonus tracks, 12Inch mixes, B-sides, unreleased demos, and live recordings. 35 previously unreleased tracks. With sleeve notes written by Paul King, all housed in a deluxe 5CD clamshell box with individual card wallets. Step back into the electric colour and emotional pulse of the mid-80s with 'Soul On My Boots - The Collection', the definitive 5CD celebration of British pop-funk romantics King. This long-overdue anthology captures the band's recorded legacy across two hit-studded studio albums, a previously unreleased live set, a vault-clearing rarities collection, and Paul King's solo album 'Joy' - complete with related 12Inch mixes and long-lost cuts. Fronted by the charismatic, quiffed presence of Paul King, the Coventry quartet stormed the charts in 1985 with 'Love & Pride', followed by 'Won't You Hold My Hand Now' and 'Alone Without You', before crafting a more complex and introspective follow-up album, 'Bitter Sweet'. Both albums are presented here in full, bolstered by a generous run of extended mixes, alternative versions, and hard-to-find single remixes. CD3 unveils for the first time King's complete 1985 live performance at Strathclyde University-a thrilling reminder of the band's onstage energy, combining polished pop hooks with raw emotional charge. CD4 digs even deeper with 21 unreleased tracks, including demos, previously unheard songs, and an aborted single ('Baby Raven Mane'), offering a rare insight into the evolution of a band poised between pop stardom and deeper creative experimentation. The final disc gathers Paul King's 1987 solo album 'Joy', produced by Dan Hartman (James Brown, Tina Turner), now joined by a wealth of era-defining 12Inch mixes and B-sides. Tracks like 'I Know', 'Follo

In the late 1960s, the American trumpet player and free jazz pioneer Don Cherry (1936-1995) and the Swedish visual artist and designer Moki Cherry (1943-2009) began a collaboration that imagined an alternative space for creative music, most succinctly expressed in Moki's aphorism Inchthe stage is home and home is a stage.Inch By 1972, they had given name to a concept that united Don's music, Moki's art, and their family life in rural Tagårp, Sweden into one holistic entity Organic Music Theatre. Captured here is the historic first Organic Music Theatre performance from the 1972 Festival de jazz de Chateauvallon in the South of France, mastered from tapes recorded during it's original live broadcast on public TV. A life-affirming, multicultural patchwork of borrowed tunes suffused with the hallowed aura of Don's extensive global travels, the performance documents the moment he publicly jettisoned his identity as a jazz musician, and represents the start of his communal InchmysticalInch period, later crystallized in recordings such as Organic Music Society, Relativity Suite, Brown Rice, and the soundtrack for Alejandro Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain.The musicians in Don Cherry's New Researches, hailing from Brazil, Sweden, France, and the US, converged on Chateauvallon from all over Europe. The five-person band-Don and Moki Cherry, Christer Bothén, Gérard InchDoudouInch Gouirand, and Naná Vasconcelos- performed in an outdoor amphitheater and were joined onstage by a dozen adults and children, including Swedish friends who tagged along for the trip and Det Lilla Circus (The Little Circus), a Danish puppet troupe based in Christiania, Copenhagen. The was lined with Moki's carpets and her handmade, brightly colored tapestries, depicting Indian scales and bearing the words Organic Music Theatre, dressed the stage.

By the 1950s, Roy Acuff's crown was slipping. He wasn't the star that he had been, but he was still making great records as this collection of ultra-rare sides cut between 1953 and 1958 for Capitol, Decca and MGM shows. Roy was adapting to the changing face of country music, but still making music that was true to his original vision. He re-made some of his biggest hits, including Great Speckled Bird, Lonely Mound Of Clay, Wreck on The Highway, and Precious Jewel. He also recorded some surprisingly good new songs including Goodbye Mister Brown (with Kitty Wells) and I Closed My Heart's Door, which was as powerful a performance as any he ever made.
