The James Taylor Quartet - 'Mission Impossible' (Red Vinyl LP) Robert French*Pre Order Releases 19 January, 2024* To mark the 35th Anniversary of Acid Jazz, we have been reissuing seminal records from our catalogue on colour vinyl. The final instalment and the second James Taylor Quartet release in the series is this this version of Mission Impossible is pressed on a fitting red vinyl. The original release track listing showcases JTQs sixties soundtrack odyssey driving organ instrumentals from the beginnings of Acid Jazz,

he was still there for the band as they became an Acid Jazz act in 2013

The record further takes in the club sounds of the original acid jazz scene in the early ‘90s

the 1994 classic People Tree had been hailed

label-heads Eddie Piller and Dean Rudland return with a second vinyl outing – ‘We’ve Got A Funky Beat’

Sandy Denny

on ‘Anything’

two-step soul – mixed with a London warehouse party vibe

the whole scene was being fuelled by a small number of clubs

no matter what time it is

and reluctance to dwell on a song for too long

so it features on the B-side - a DJ-friendly cut that will feel right at home in many 7” boxes

but their spirit firmly resides in this classic debut album
