A lovely overview of the second phase of Philip's career, as engineer and producer at his own studio, HC&F.
These ten tracks comprise favourites from his production catalogue, spanning the mid '80s when the studio really got going, right up until 1996 and his last set of proper productions. The album holds a mix of well known classics like the Garnett Silk, lesser known album only cuts like the Frankie Paul, NY dancehall 12" staples like the Scion Success or Shelene, as well as some lesser known gems.
This album also contains two previously unreleased cuts - a wicked mid '80s Tony Tuff, and the wild vocoder laden 1985 theme song for Philip's "Get Smart" radio show, which ran for many many years on New York University's WNYU radio station.
Tracks:
1. Philip Smart - Get Smart Theme
2. Sammy Levi - Come Off the Road
3. Lilly Melody - Promotion & Stripe
4. Scion Success - Cry Fi Mi Girl
5. Tom and Jerry Horns - Autumn Leaves
6. Tony Tuff - Hit and Run
7. Garnett Silk - Retreat Wicked Man
8. Shelene - Where Does it Go From Here
9. Frankie Paul - Plastic Smile
