Tom Moulton '' A Tom Moulton Mix
The record isn'''t a mix, it'''s the songs themselves that have been mixed by this legendary, um, fashion model, the guy credited with popularizing the remix, if not inventing it himself. There are well-known tracks, like ''"More, More, More,''" and historically important tracks, like ''"Love Is the Message.''" But get this record for the gritty soul like ''"I'''ll Be Holding On,''" and the brilliantly executed ''"La Vie En Rose,''" definitely one of my favorite tracks of the 70s. If you have an open mind for real disco, not the crap people jump around to at middle-school dances, this is a great primer, and an upbeat way to start any day/party.

Does Soul Jazz put anything out that's not good?

[...] Though it is not technically a “reissue” and more of a comp, it would be hard to talk about reissued music in 2006 and not talk about the spectacular Soul Jazz label. With releases that ranged from their great Tropicalia comp to their much-needed Tom Moulton Mix selections and almost literally everything in between, they are quickly becoming one of the most important labels around. This record was one of the greats, collecting the most notable cuts from one of the best groups to come out of Studio One in Jamaica. This is rocksteady, reggae before reggae, and it’s dirty, happy, and fun music. Thank you Soul Jazz. [...]
