"From 1958 to 1993, Thomas and Louise Boddie’s industrious Boddie Recording Company issued nearly 300 albums and 45s, recorded 10,000 hours of tape, and remained in operation longer than any other studio, pressing plant, or label group in the history of Cleveland. Long forgotten even by the standards of the chronically overlooked northeastern Ohio music scene, Boddie was a fusion of its owner’s engineering genius and his limited economic means ; its DIY recording studio housed in a humble barn, churned night and day to capture the sounds emanating from Cleveland’s east side neighborhoods. The 58 tracks on these three CDs (or 65 track 5LP) represent the best of the Boddies’ in-house Soul Kitchen, Luau, and Bounty labels, which released an unspoiled treasure trove of kitchen-sink eccentric soul, fuzzbox funk, shoestring doo-wop, and haunted, eerily hook-laden spirituals. Enclosed inside is a mountain of office-styled ephemera: two massive booklets brimming with detail on the Boddies and their artists; extensive notes and scores of unpublished photos ; a complete detailed discography folio ; reproduced fliers ; and a Boddie greeting card—all rendered with the handcrafted charm that was the Boddie hallmark. Call it a self-contained record industry crammed into one box."

Une vrai merveille ce coffret... Que j'ai recu en version CD juste après noël avec une sympathique dédicace (en francais...) des 3 créateurs du label de Chicago...
En bonus un 4ème CD (limité aux 500 premiers exemplaires du coffret)
Le packaging est comme toujours de haute volée et le tracklisting gargantuesque !...
Ma préférence va au 1er CD consacré aux enregistrements du label Soul Kitchen , de loin le plus Soul Funk du Coffret.
J'imagine que la version 5 LP doit être aussi somptueuse !...
Vite cassez votre tirelire pour nos amis de Numéro Group ...

good vibes a écrit :en bonus un 4ème CD (limité aux 500 premiers exemplaires du coffret)

Sais-tu si le 4ème CD regroupe les 7 titres supplémentaires que l'on retrouve avec le format LP ?

Top la dédicace en français : tu dois avoir une de ces collections de signatures.

Ce qui est bien avec Numero Group, c'est que désormais ils connaissent mon penchant fétichiste pour le disque personnalisé, c'est à dire que systématiquement lorsque que je commande chez eux leur nouveautés ils me les dédicacent sans que j'ai besoin de demander... (bah ! je pense qu'ils doivent aussi prendre plaisir a être reconnus pour leur travail de défricheur sonore...)
Pour le tracklisting du CD bonus il faut que je vérifie...
