“I genuinely play every track on this album — pure Roy Ayers magic.”
Why I Stock This Record
This is a Soul, Funk, Jazz & Disco classic from Roy Ayers. It features two standout tracks for me — “Sugar” and “Green & Gold” — but honestly, I genuinely play every track on this release, whether I’m listening at home or performing out.
The whole compilation is full of that warm, rich, and soulful Roy Ayers sound from the late 70s / early 80s period. It’s got incredible musicianship, beautiful grooves, and that unmistakable feel that makes his music so special.
If you’re a serious vinyl collector or DJ who appreciates high-quality soul, funk, jazz and disco, this BBE release is a must-have for the crate. Clean copy and plays strong every time.
Review
The legendary Roy Ayers has a wealth of great material to his name but Virgin Ubiquity: Unreleased Recordings 1976-1981 might just be the cream of the crop. It's packed with gold that fuses soul and funk, jazz and disco into a load of killer cuts that never got their own release. There are husky vocal tracks featuring Merry Clayton on "Oh What A Lonely Feeling," "I Really Love You" and "What's the T?", sensual soul stirrers from Carla Vaughn such as "Mystic Voyage" and "Together Forever" and of course liquid synths and rhythm sections underpinning each of the tracks.
