Perception Productions, the New York based label that ran from the late '60s through until 1974, was a strangely eclectic affair. Its roster stretched from a radical Afro-American poet through to the pop band King Harvest whose hit "Dancing In The Moonlight" became a massive hit for the UK band Toploader a couple of decades later. The in-between points covered jazz, funk, vocal harmony soul and proto-disco. In fact distilled down into the compilation, Best Of Perception And Today Records, the label provides us a view of Manhattan’s black music scene of the period, from the established greats to the fresh young things who would make their mark in the coming years. The two men who ran the label, President Terry Phillips and Boo Frazier burned brightly for that half a decade before almost entirely disappearing from the music scene. When Perception closed its doors in 1974 it had been producing records for nearly 5 years. It has fortunately left behind a legacy of great soul, funk and jazz which is contained within this compilation. Part 1 of 2 double vinyl compilation LPs from DJ Spinna and BBE.
