The Philadelphia Story 1971 - 1986 - 15 Years of Philly Classics Vol. 11 Part Party !

Eleventh volume of this great Philly collection. Let's go Disco! Because that is what you will find on this volume: early 'disco' hits when disco was not even disco yet, just a name for the place you went to dance. These are those soul hits from that period where disco was actually born. Like that weird song from Frantique 'Strut Your Funky Stuff', 'Aint No Stopping Us Now' by McFadden & Whitehead and of course (and my choice) 'Let's Clean Up the Ghetto' from Philadelphia All Stars!

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.
