While previous albums have shone a spotlight quite specifically on jazz and soul, the latest iteration takes a more panoramic approach, taking in those loves, but adding in some British Mod stomp, Neo-Library music and some Ye-Ye, as Martin says in his note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMartin is of course the multi-award-winning actor famed for The Office, The Hobbit, Sherlock and The Responder, but also for his deep love of music, which brought him to us with these compilations. On this volume he has chosen well, with obscure cuts from Santana and Neo-Soul from Kadhja Bonet, and Indo-Funk from Ashal Puthli. These sit alongside jazz from Gary Burton and Buddy Rich as well as favourite Soul 45s, all topped with the wonderful stew of Traffic’s ‘Medicated Goo’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEddie founded Acid Jazz in 1988 and even before then was a well-known and successful DJ. His sides show the excitement that he still finds in discovering and playing music. Opening with the synth-led Main Theme from UK cult film The Long Good Friday, he selects beautiful soul and jazzy disco, before entering the world of Brit-Funk with cuts by Hi-Tension and Light Of The World. He brings it home via Ace’s ‘How Long’ and some Brian Auger, which sets us up for the Ye-Ye beat of Jacquelin Taieb and Jacques Dutronc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShowing our modernist roots, the album comes sharply dressed in its Dean Chalkley-photographed Unknown partnership sleeve on Double LP or CD, with notes by both Ed and Martin. The perfect end-of-year present to yourself or the one you love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Quite extraordinary” - ---- Uncut\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig Time Operator – Zoot Money’s Big Roll Band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeedle in a Haystack – The Whispers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight of Life – Santana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVibrafinger – Gary Burton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpace Shuttle – Buddy Rich\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlease Open the Door – Little Charles \u0026amp; The Sidewinders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigher Ground – Doug Carn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcession – Kadhja Bonet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunky Mule – Ike Turner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight Down Here – Asha Puthli\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Brass – Matt Berry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedicated Goo – Traffic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain Title Theme From Long Good Friday – Francis Monkman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Can’t Keep From Crying Baby Sometimes – The Deidre Wilson Tabac\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToo Late – Mandrill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWounded Woman – Sandra Wright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI’ve Got to Come In – Jean Battle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon’t You Worry Baby, the Best Is Yet to Come – Bessie Banks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon’t Walk Away – General Johnson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHi Tension – Hi Tension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime – The Light of the World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Long – Ace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRope Ladder to the Moon – Julie Tippets and Brian Auger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7th Du Matin – Jacquelin Taieb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLe Responsable – Jacques Dutronc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Acid Jazz","offers":[{"title":"Black Vinyl 2xLP","offer_id":54839372251482,"sku":"AJX2LP943","price":38.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":54839381950810,"sku":"AJXCD943","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1481\/5374\/files\/VA-martin-freeman.png?v=1790193746","url":"https:\/\/freebirdrecords.com\/products\/pre-order-23-10-26-various-artists-martin-freeman-and-eddie-piller-present-on-the-corner","provider":"Freebird Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
