Of Italian origin, Dalida arrived in Paris in 1955, and with her dark hair, Mediterranean beauty, sincerity, and voice, she won over France. This 7-CD box set offers the complete collection of Dalida's songs from 1956 to 1962. It's an essential collection for everyone who, like us, fell under the spell of Dalida’s voice—a voice that once led Gérard-Henri Grandjean to say:“Dalida’s voice caresses, it makes you dream. It builds a world—perhaps an artificial one, but a necessary one—a world shaped like castles in Spain, of wonderfully eternal love, and fairy tales brought to life for three minutes, the length of a song.”

Right from the start Chesky Records had a sound. David Chesky set out to make “aural photographs” of each session, capturing as much of the sound of being there as the technology allowed, continually pushing it forward. Every note of every session was recorded “live,” there were no overdubs, no fixing it in the mix.

Strictly speaking, Phil Spector wasn't even a performer – he was a musician, but he very rarely released records under his name. As a producer, however – and, to a significant extent, songwriter, label owner, and session player – he influenced the course of rock & roll more than all but a handful of performers. The Wall of Sound that he perfected in the early '60s led to unlimited possibilities for arrangements and sound construction in rock and pop, and his brilliant talents imprinted the discs that he produced with an artistic vision that was much more attributable to him than to the talented performers with whom he worked.

At the start of the 60s, a new wave of gospel-influenced jazz started to emerge, with hits such as Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers' "Moanin'" and Cannonball Adderley's "Work Song" epitomizing this evolution in the genre. The terms "soul jazz" and "funky jazz" were coined as a way to describe this new sound that was making an impact in the US and also on the other sides of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

For the last 20 years London-based author and party organiser Tim Lawrence has dedicated himself to excavating the history of New York City party culture and bringing some of the most powerful aspects of that culture to London’s dance scene, from where it has ricocheted around the world. Having conducted the first set of major interviews with David Mancuso, Lawrence started to put on Loft-style Lucky Cloud Sound System parties with David and friends in London in June 2003. In early 2004 he published Love Saves the Day: A History of American Dance Music Culture, 1970-79, which tracked the influence of the Loft on the wider New York DJ, dance and disco scene. In 2009 his biography of the iconic musician Arthur Russell became the first book to map the wider downtown music scene. These beautifully written and politically insightful histories have educated, inspired and celebrated the previously overlooked foundations of contemporary dance music.
