This to me is THE release of the year! To fi-nal-ly have three tracks off of "I Love My Lady" is a dream come true- and the rest of the goodies included in this box set are amazing too.
Kudos to Warner France and a big FAIL to Rhino/Warner US for letting this project slip through their fingers. At least us Europeans fully appreciate the legacy of the best and classiest funk/r'n'b band ever! 🙂
Donald Cleveland says
It looks GREAT to me~! I'm looking forward to this box. So very, very much. Thanks Phil!
RoyalScam says
Wow...looks a lot like exactly what I posted back there yesterday. (Pauses to pat himself on back)

Mike Duquette says
Oh crap! That was my mistake. Credit amended. It's been a long week, folks. 😛
RoyalScam says
Aww, I was just playin' Mike. I'm not a credit whore. It's all about the music here. Your site is my replacement for ICE's "Reissue Front"...took a long time to find one!
Will says
Have been waiting for a Chic box for years and was very pleased to find that one's coming out. Heart sank when I saw that Dmitri from Paris has remixed five of the songs on it. Why mess with perfection, this has totally soured the box for me now.
adam carrington says
disappointed i was hoping for more unreleased sides
Rick says
Apparently if sales for the box set are good, there will be a volume 2, including among other stuff an alternate mix of "Good Times".
adam carrington says
dimitri has posted some snippets of his reworks from the set on his soundcloud
