Daptone Gold Vol. II - CD

Various: Daptone Gold Vol. II version on CD in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in USA in publishing company Daptone Records on 18. September 2015.

"Daptone Gold II" is a new collection of hits, favorites and exclusive tracks from Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, Charles Bradley, Antibalas, Budos Band and many more! Six years after the release of the highly acclaimed greatest hits and rarities collection "Daptone Gold", Daptone releases "Daptone Gold Vol. 2". While the original album highlighted Daptone's unique mission, "Daptone Gold Vol. 2" shows just how far Daptone has come. The collection is filled with favorites from the past six years and singles that sold out in advance or were previously only available as a 45. The release is also the result of Dapton's Super Soul Revue last year. The concert series, which featured all Dapton artists performing together, culminated in three sold-out shows at the world-famous Apollo Theater in Harlem. The new double album keeps fans of the Brooklyn-based label in suspense. A label that has become a major reference point for new soul music and a model for independent labels around the world. Featuring some of the most popular tracks ever released by Daptone. For example: Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings - "Better Things" (from 2010's "I Learned The Hard Way"), "Inspiration Information" (a cover of Shuggie Otis' "Soul Time") and "Retreat!" from their latest album "Give The People What They Want". In addition, there are other favorites such as: Naomi Shelton & The Gospel Queens' 2014 track "Sinner"; Charles Bradley's "Strictly Reserved For You" and "Heartaches & Pain"; "Hot Shot" by 2015 newcomers Saun & Starr; "Dirty Money" by Afrobeat group Antibalas and "Got To Get Back To My Baby" by The Sugarman 3, among many others. Also, songs that were previously only available as 45s, such as "Luv Jones," a duet by Charles Bradley and LaRose Jackson; "Little Boys With Shiny Toys" by Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings; and "Out Of The Wilderness" by The Como Mamas. Previously unreleased tracks include the instrumental "Thunderclap" by The Dap-Kings and "You Got To Move" by Naomi Shelton & The Gospel Queens. The CD comes in a deluxe digipack wrapped in silver metallic foil. Review: "Even Daptone fans who already own one or two CDs from the label will enjoy the unreleased singles like the duet "Luv Jones" by Charles Bradley and LaRose Jackson, "Little Boys With Shiny Toys" by Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings and "Out Of The Wilderness" by The Como Mamas."
