People's Pleasure "Do You Hear Me Talking to You?" CD

*Commentary: Shin Nagatomo *Paper jacket *First CD release worldwide *Bonus tracks included

Since its launch in 2006, the Groove-Diggers series has been unearthing (digging) high-quality records (grooves) from soul, funk, jazz, Brazilian, and Latin music, regardless of genre, nationality, or era, and has released over 80 titles so far. The ultimate reissue from this series, which has been practicing modern rare groove, and a compilation that shows the culmination of the series, are being released at the same time!

"The main track on this album, "World Full Of People," is neither soul nor funk, but it's both soul and funk. It's the kind of crossover sound I'm always looking for, and it satisfied my desire. I still remember the indescribable pleasure I felt when I first encountered this song." -RYUHEI THE MAN

"Ultimate" is the word that best describes this album! This is a rare and perfect album that rivals the Mighty Riders' "Help Us Spread The Message"! The last bastion at the top of the rare groove and soul scene, People's Pleasure's "Do You Hear Me Talking To You?" is finally being officially reissued worldwide for the first time!

The original version is an astonishing 300,000 yen! "World Full Of People", which was also released as a 7-inch single under the name Everyday People, is a killer tune that was also included on groove master Ryuhei the Man's mix CD "A Message From The Man"! What's more, this complete edition includes a 7-inch version of "I'd Like To Stay", which was also released under the name Everyday People, as a bonus track!

Starting with the dynamic groovy soul "Do You Hear Me Talking To You?", the crossover funky soul "World Full Of People" that is also popular among DJs, and the superb medium soul number "Dreaming Our Live Away", this is a miracle album that shines brilliantly wherever you place the needle! It is always a top wanted album for both soul and rare groove collectors, but it is rarely put up for auction on auction sites, making it the best album in terms of both content and rarity!
