One of the major soul labels of the 1970s, Spring Records was formed in the late 1960s by Bill Spitalsky and Roy and Julie Rifkind. A hothouse for some of the most essential soul music of the era, the likes of Millie Jackson, Joe Simon and The Fatback Band made their best-known songs and greatest chart hits for Spring. This compilation showcases some of mighty releases on this iconic label by giving them the remix treatment from heavy hitters such as Dimitri from Paris, , , , and more. It is mastered impeccably to play at home, but also in a club as well and is presented as a Double-LP package and pressed on colour vinyl.
Released: October 2025 Label: Acid Jazz Records
