Discover the Rare 1980s "Boogie" Grooves of Paul Klein’s Independent Labels in a New Essential Box Set

Bridging the fiery energy of the New York club scene with the sweet, soulful rhythms of Philadelphia, this vinyl box set chronicles the remarkable 1980s journey of Canadian producer Paul Klein. Driven by a lifelong passion for American R&B, Klein traveled from Montreal to Philadelphia in 1981, teaming up with legendary MFSB session musicians, hitmaking songwriters like Allan Felder, and elite New York mixing engineers. Through his Montreal-based family of independent labels—including Street-Level, Hot Soul, Musicworks, and AM/FM Records—Klein produced an intoxicating sonic brew of heavy, bass-driven funk and "boogie" classics. Featuring highly coveted, rare-groove tracks from artists like Joe Freeman, Hipnotic, The Chestnut Brothers, and a pre-Milli Vanilli Johnny Davis, these releases earned Klein international acclaim as the purveyor of "Funk From The Great White North." Now, these timeless, highly sought-after dancefloor anthems have been carefully curated and preserved for collectors and passionate soul fans worldwide.
