ARGO/CADET COMPILATIONS








In the early 90's, Kevin Beadle put together a series of compilations comprising of various jazz-funk grooves from the Argo & Cadet labels, so here's a couple of items relating to vols 1 & 2.
At the top is a review of both albums that was published in Straight No Chaser magazine in 1991, and under it is a chart also from SNC that shows Gilles Peterson was dipping into the first release "Off The Wall" for his live gigs and radio show.
Underneath that is a chart published in an August issue of Echoes in '91 and was compiled by James Lavelle when he was working at Honest Jon's shop in London. He had the second release "The Heatin' System" listed on his jazz chart.
The SNC review recommended buying both albums, so I did, and I have accompanied the mag items with my LP covers - both released via Charly Records.
