Orlando's version of \"Don't Let Go\" was released at the height of the disco era, but the song itself was already a well-worn pop standard, having been covered by numerous artists before the pop singer tried his hand at it, switching things up with a percolating disco groove. \"I never expected to rave about a Tony Orlando record,\" wrote Vince Aletti in his Record World column in June of 1978, \"but this one's really terrific... My pick for a summer refresher.\" The Jimmy Simpson mix on the original 12-inch follows the vocals with a long instrumental section that teases the various elements provided by the Muscle Shoals band (guitar, vibes, strings, and above all a sinuous synth) back in over the relentless bass and drums. Danny's edit, which he's trimmed down for its debut on 7-inch, works with this instrumental break and more than lives up to Aletti's description as an addictive warm weather jam.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrom the moody instrumental sound of \"Don't Let Go\" we move to the bright uptempo vocal track \"I Fall In Love Everyday.\" In spite of the relative obscurity of this fabulous but lesser-known cut, it comes with a sparkling pedigree. \"I Fall In Love Everyday\" was written by Jay Graydon (whose credits also include \"Turn Your Love Around\" for George Benson and \"Breakin' Away\" for Al Jarreau), produced by Motown ace Mickey Stevenson (who wrote \"Dancing In the Street\") and arranged by David Foster, who was just making the transition from session keyboardist to the superstar songwriter\/arranger he'd become. The backing track was first used for singer\/TV personality Jaye P. Morgan's version of the song a year earlier, but you certainly can't blame the team for reusing the music when the band included studio heavyweights like Harvey Mason, Lee Ritenour, Ray Parker Jr., and Kenny Loggins. Danny's creative edit fashions a clean, DJ-friendly instrumental intro where none existed on the original, and gives new life to a track that's sure to bring some sunshine to dancefloors.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs always, these unique selections from Mr. K's personal stash are cut on a loud, club-ready 7-inch pressing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Most Excellent","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41013527412892,"sku":"MXMRK 2042","price":12.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/MRK-Don_tLetGo_df2abaf2-aaf9-47ba-a25c-6ec48b336e82.jpg?v=1633024371"},{"product_id":"mr-k-edits-by-mr-k-prophecy","title":"MR K - Edits By Mr K: Prophecy","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat: 12\" Vinyl\u003cbr\u003eCatalogue No.: MXMRK2044\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 31 Jan 2022\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Soul\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor this entry in the ever-expanding series from the master Danny Krivit, we turn to two productions from the legendary Lamont Dozier. Both songs are artfully rearranged by Mr. K and appear here on 12-inch vinyl for the first time. Margie Joseph was a powerful soul singer from the deep South who in her younger days was compared favorably to Aretha Franklin. But by the time of this recording in 1976, Joseph had moved on from the Southern soul sound and was looking for something new. She found it in collaboration with Lamont Dozier (who would actually go on to produce Aretha the following year). Dozier's song \"Prophecy\" was recorded at least three times, with Betty Everett doing it in '77 and Dozier himself using it as the title track for a planned 1975 solo album that was unfortunately never released. It's Margie Joseph's energetic version that made the song a proto-disco dance floor classic however, getting heavy spins on the U.K. modern soul scene and at the Houston St. incarnation of Nicky Siano's infamous 'Gallery'. \"Prophecy\" has also long been a Danny Krivit favorite, appearing on his 2001 compilation Grassroots. Mr. K turns in a new, definitive mix of the song, complete with a never heard before acapella intro and outro section. The writing on the wall says this one is still a winner! Going back just a couple years prior to \"Prophecy\" is our flip side, \"I'm Just Being Myself.\" This time we have an even more high profile female singer who again was looking for a new sound. In the case of Dionne Warwick, she and her longtime collaborators Hal David and Burt Bacharach had split acrimoniously not long before, and her new label Warner Brothers, seeking a fresh twist for her voice, teamed her with the celebrated Holland-Dozier-Holland team. Lamont Dozier and the Holland brothers were of course responsible for numerous Motown smashes, but by the early '70s Berry Gordy had moved operations west to L.A. and H-D-H struck out on their own, choosing to remain in Detroit. \"I'm Just Being Myself\" was recorded at the team's studio there, with a cast of Motown veterans fleshing out the magnificent Holland-Dozier composition. Mr. K's edit squeezes the most out of the underlying groove, avoiding the chorus in favor of prominent percussion, dramatic strings, and soaring flute. Warwick herself doesn't make an entrance until five minutes into this epic rearrangement, cooly riding the building instrumental tension. A long-time standard in Krivit's bag, this edit makes its full length appearance on wax for the first time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracklist\u003cbr\u003eSide 1\u003cbr\u003e1. \"Prophecy\" (edit By Mr K)\u003cbr\u003eSide 2\u003cbr\u003e1. \"I'm Just Being Myself\" (edit By Mr K)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Most Excellent","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41341891510428,"sku":"MXMRK2044","price":13.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/1_83f2d1cb-2947-410e-87da-137069749090.jpg?v=1642071745"},{"product_id":"mr-k-edits-by-mr-k-magics-in-the-air","title":"MR K - Edits By Mr K: Magic's In The Air","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 12\" Vinyl\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: MXMRK2047\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 14 Mar 2022\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Disco\/Nu-Disco\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was certainly unpredictable that a legendary jazz drummer would record one of spiritual disco's most revered songs twenty-three years into his career, but that's exactly what happened when Idris Muhammad laid down the epic \"Could Heaven Ever Be Like This\" in 1977. Hailing from New Orleans, Muhammad always had more than a touch of funk to his rhythms, and by the late '70s his collaborations with master engineer Rudy Van Gelder on recordings for the CTI and Kudu labels had gelled perfectly with the reigning jazz-funk sound of the day. Arranger Dave Matthews (famously part of the James Brown stable) collaborated with lyricist and former Long Island record store clerk Tony Sarafino on writing the song, which on the original recording unfolds over a nearly 9-minute build. Appearing at the crest of the disco movement, \"Could Heaven Ever Be Like This\" was an immediate hit with David Mancuso and the attendees of his loft parties, quickly spreading to other venues and even making a small climb up the Billboard R\u0026amp;B charts. For this new issue on Most Excellent Unlimited, Danny Krivit, whose own career as a dancefloor orchestrator from the DJ booth has paralleled the timeframe of the song's existence, has replaced the original loose introduction with a mix-friendly steady groove that maintains the unstoppable pulse of the song while maintaining the cathartic mid-song break and giving the track potential for even more momentum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother percussionist is responsible for our flip side track, \"Magic's in the Air.\" Vince Montana was not only an in-house arranger and producer for Philadelphia International and other Philly soul labels, but was an accomplished vibraphone player. His talents are on display and doubly emphasized by Mr. K in this overlooked cut from Ronnie Walker, a falsetto singer who draws a rather strong comparison to the best songs of fellow Philadelphians Blue Magic with this uptempo, subtly synthy 1975 track. Never having appeared on a 12-inch, and indeed never having appeared even on a full-length album, Krivit's edit is the first extended mix of \"Magic's in the Air\" to date. Alongside \"Could Heaven Ever Be Like This,\" itself notoriously difficult to find in 12-inch form, this latest from MEU's long running series with Mr. K is a bonafide must-have for the discerning DJ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist\u003cbr\u003eSide 1\u003cbr\u003e1. \"Magic's In The Air\"\u003cbr\u003eSide 2\u003cbr\u003e1. \"Could Heaven Ever Be Like This\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Most Excellent","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41471326322844,"sku":"MXMRK2047","price":15.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/1_69c4f4ad-594f-439c-881a-5e8bda795b77.jpg?v=1645692977"},{"product_id":"mr-k-edits-by-mr-k-if-you-really-love-me","title":"MR K - Edits By Mr K: If You Really Love Me","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 12\" Vinyl\u003cbr\u003eCatalogue No.: MXMRK2046\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 23 May 2022\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Disco\/Nu-Disco\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny time the discerning ear of Danny Krivit turns to upper echelon artists like the two featured on this latest 12-inch single, you know you're in for a special treat, and that's exactly what we have here. First up is Stevie Wonder's timeless \"If You Really Love Me,\" a song written in 1970 by newlyweds Stevie and Syreeta Wright and simply glowing with the warmth and soulfulness that surrounds the happiest of unions. Krivit in conjunction with Kei and Nagi of Dazzle Drums, \u0026amp; Me \u0026amp; the Gang, utilizes the entire original song structure, in the process lifting Syreeta's soaring backup vocals to the collaborative level they deserve, while underlaying the entire affair with Dazzle Drums' trademark percussion-heavy, four on the floor thump. The result is certainly one of the finest, most respectful efforts in a field of Stevie house remixes that has seen far too many limp entries over the years.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFilling the flip side is Mr. K's much-loved take on Chaka Khan's \"I Know You, I Live You.\" Appearing in a rather murkily EQ-ed form in the early 2000's, this new issue wipes away the sonic sludge with a sparkling mastering job that reveals the full range of Mr. K's epic edit. With pieces seamlessly stitched together from the original song, the album-only reprise, and Tony Humphries' remix from the 1989 Life Is A Dance Chaka remix project, this rightfully celebrated mix can lay claim to being the definitive release of this undisputed classic. There are hardly better calls to the dancefloor than this, as partygoers at countless jams can attest.

For the latest in our long-running exploration of Mr. K's edit crates comes this pair of underground hits that rocked the legendary Roxy in early '80s New York City. As a resident DJ, Danny Krivit saw it all unfold in real time. \"A lot of the hip hop played at Roxy's Friday night dance party was cutting edge for the dance scene,\" he recalls. Although hugely influential on new dance music being made, the hip hop records coming out were rarely in the groove enough for roller skating - the rest of the week, when Roxy's dance floor was turned over to the skaters, the music had to have the correct tempo and groove to keep the wheels turning. \"These two songs were an unusual exception in that they were strong for both Roxy's Friday night dance party and Roxy's roller skating crowd,\" Krivit explains. Orange Krush were an essential part of the early hip hop scene, but are rarely acknowledged, probably because they only released this one single under their own name. Led by veteran Larry Smith, they performed all the music on the early Run-DMC albums, and were managed by Russell Simmons before he founded Def Jam. For this recording the group also brought in Maureen Reid, a session singer who had done backup vocals for Fatback Band. Predating Janet Jackson by half a decade, she sizzles with a delicious dressing down of a would-be Romeo: \"I don't want to hear that you think I'm fine... I got eyes and I'd like to see \/ what it is you're gonna do for me!\" Mr. K's edit preserves the signature drum intro and finally makes this very hard to find single more widely available on 7-inch.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMalcolm McLaren was a true impresario, a shrewd recognizer and organizer of talent whose own abilities, however, stopped at that point. As such, he relied on an entourage of musicians and energetic performers to bring his visions to life. In WHBI's World's Famous Supreme Team, a pair of radio hosts with an easy flow on the mic, he found a ready connection to the nascent hip hop scene in NYC. Now he just needed musicians to back them up, but not just any musicians... It had to be cutting edge. Enter the Art of Noise, a British band dedicated to exploring the latest technological innovations in music making. \"World's Famous\" is what happened when the two came together under McLaren's direction. Music that veers from highly musical, jazzy improv to block-rocking sampled drums and scratches is overlaid with the practiced patter of Sedivine and Just Allah, the eponymous Supreme Team themselves. Ditching the far too short album version that McLaren first released in 1983, Mr. K's edit is an extended take that adds a couple iconic vocal drops from other McLaren singles and allows plenty of room for Anne Dudley's suave piano solo (\"Anne, bring in the organ!\") and the groove, a perfect pulse for skating.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs usual, these cuts are virtually unfindable in their original 7-inch form and have been carefully remastered and edited for maximum utility and club-friendly sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist\u003cbr\u003eSide 1\u003cbr\u003e1. \"Action\"\u003cbr\u003eSide 2\u003cbr\u003e1. \"World Famous\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Most Excellent","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41622638788764,"sku":"MXMRK2048","price":13.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/1_93b2810b-8626-4637-bc7d-bacfbc9f8cca.jpg?v=1651778024"},{"product_id":"mr-k-edits-by-mr-k-it-should-have-been-me","title":"MR K - Edits By Mr K: It Should Have Been Me","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 7\" Vinyl\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: MXMRK2049\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 27 Jun 2022\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Soul\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMr K (Danny Krivit) is back once again with another vital selection of his edits kicking off with the title track 'It Should Have Been Me' a lazy and heart wrenching soul jam with deep cut bass, guttural female vocals that are as raw as you can imagine and some lush strings.
