    No doubt this resurgence is due to their availability on vinyl for DJ use.
    Heartbeat Records has been putting out fantastic comps from the same Studio
    One masters for years...but only on CD.

    Nevertheless, I concur with Jason...those Soul Jazz comps are all brilliant.

    Heartbeat come again...check out the 2-CD TRIBUTE TO JACKIE MITTOO
    compilation for more of the same. :-)

    And for more Cedric "Im" Brooks, most essential is his album UNITED AFRICA.
    It's been released on numerous labels; my copy is on Aquarius.
