Various Artists - Classic House Grooves: Dope Jams New York City (Gatefold 2LP) - King Street Sounds

Tapping into the rich legacy of New York house music, King Street Sounds serve up this handy package for all the spinners out there not wanting to fool around elsewhere buying the classics for sill money. With such timeless classics as "Closer" by Mood II Swing getting their moment on wax all over again, it's interesting note how much music has moved on from this era only to come back around once again. Head straight for the cool and deadly organ workout that is Gerideau's "Take A Stand" if you want innocent and pure house music from the early days.
