Tabu confirm box set tracklisting

tabubox

A year after it was first announced, the Tabu box set will finally be released on 10 March 2014.

This is now a seven-disc set (6CD+DVD), or eight if you count the bonus seven-inch single, and features 93 tracks, some of which are on CD for the first time all “extensively re-mastered”.

The DVD contains 15 official Tabu videos and some interviews with Tabu Records founder Clarence Avant, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. The vinyl single features (Ms) Sharon Ridley’s Changin’ backed with Manfredo Fest’s Jungle Kitten.

The box comes with a 60-page booklet with notes by Soul expert Ralph Tee, and plenty of photos and an extensive Tabu Records discography.

At the time of writing this is £48 on amazon, a price which compares favourably with Demon’s £60 five-disc Belinda Carlisle Anthology, for instance. Of course, if you were canny enough to place an Amazon pre-order in June last year when this was first listed, you’d have secured your copy for just £24.99.

The Tabu Records Box Set is released on 10 March 2014.
