Red Astaire
12″ Single, 2003

Some might be inclined to call this “Left and Right (Red Astaire Remix)” and list the artist as D’Angelo but that doesn’t fit with the mystique and dubious legality of GAMM Records. I’m a little late to the party but GAMM Records from Sweden has been putting out all manner of quality American R&B rehashings for a few years now, of which I have caught a couple. This appears to be the first (at least it is listed as GAMM001). I’m guessing they all say “Promo Not For Sale” like this one does (like a lot of 12″s do that you’ll find…for sale in record stores) - just an attempt to cover a$$e$ when selling music that’s not cleared.

This track was covered by the Quantic Soul Orchestra with Alice Russell on vocals and released this past August by Rebtuz. A Bristol UK cover of a Swedish bootleg remix of track from a Virginia man who doesn’t seem to be able to find a way to put out records very often. I guess they’re carrying the torch for him.
