The Philadelphia Story 1971 - 1986 - 15 Years of Philly Classics Vol. 4 The Philly Hits Keep Comin'

More great hits on this fourth volume out of 14 Vinyl records. Remember 'Used to Be My Girl'? That were the O'Jays again, they had countless hits. Teddy Pendergrass now hits the scene, while Lou Rawls keeps hitting the charts with songs like 'See You When I get There'.

One song back then really did catch the ear being different. Let'em in by Billy Paul (made famous in Europe by Paul McCartney). To refresh your memory, see down belowwwwww.

The label Streetsounds was an offshoot from the Streetwave label owned by producer and promoter Morgan Khan, specializing in 1980's urban and dance music. The signature of the label was compiling full length dance tracks, licensed from the US, mostly black club and urban dance music.

The idea was to quickly react to the scene and the trends and of course to make money that way, releasing US compilations in Europe. Despite a lot of people in Europe were into alternative styles, the label did help to promote urban electronic dance music.

The Philadelphia story is one of the most notable compilations: a 14 vinyl box set filled with full length tracks, soul mostly, but when the music changes into the 80's soul-funk and soul-disco starts to mix in.

Streetsounds also released jazz-funk, house and high-energy compilations. They went of the market in 1988 but the label was revived by Khan some years later, mostly reissuing back-catalogue material. Starting 2009 they now release NU-electro compilations.
