Big Boss Man - Humanize

Long awaited vinyl reissue of Big Boss Man’s 2001 album debut “Humanize”. A recordbox essential for any DJ and a clear definition of the Big Boss Man sound – a hip Hammond hybrid of 60's and 70's drenched R’n'B, Funk, Latin, Jazz, Soul and Pop. Unavailable on LP for several years, but back by popular demand fuelled by the recent release of Big Boss Man’s third album ‘Full English Beat Breakfast’. This is a brand new cut of the LP and is pressed on virgin vinyl! Since its release album tracks have featured on numerous European and US compilations, as well as the whole album being used as the soundtrack of the BAFTA nominated short film “Sweet” featuring The Mighty Boosh. Following the inclusion on the Thievery Corporation’s ‘Outernational Sound’ compilation, the band later sampled dancefloor favourite ‘Sea Groove’ in 2008 and the track was used by the Red Cross for a nationwide campaign in the USA this year. The original 7" is now valued at £25 in the official Record Collector guide – although that’s if you can find one! ‘Party 7’ was also picked up in 2006 for Nike’s worldwide World Cup ‘JOGA TV’ campaign featuring Thierry Henry and Eric Cantona. Reference Points: Rock/Pop, Boogaloo, Beat, Latin Soul, Funky 45s, Dancefloor Jazz, Hammond Grooves. Orignal Press Quotes: “Stonking debut.
