Records label (acronym for Sounds of Los Angeles Records) was founded in 1977 by Dick Griffey, which quickly became one of the most important disco, R\u0026amp;B, and dance music imprints of the late 1970s and 1980s. Shalamar were the label's best selling act. The \"SOLAR sound\" was a collective effort, with artists working on each other's sessions. Sylvers was the producer behind the trademark SOLAR sound: funky, progressive dance music infused with soul and disco. This excellent 2X CD compilation showcases rare 12\" mixes from many of their artists including: Dynasty, Klymaxx, the Whispers, Lakeside, Midnight Star, Calloway, Carrie Lucas, Collage and the Deele, which introduced singer\/songwriter\/producer Kenneth \"Babyface\" Edmonds \u0026amp; future music executive Antonio \"L.A.\" Reid.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Midnight Star - Midas Touch \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Carrie Lucas - Show Me Where You're Coming from \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Shalamar - There It Is \u003cbr\u003e1.4 The Whispers - No Pain No Gain \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Shalamar - Over and Over \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Dynasty - I Don't Wanna Be a Freak, But I Can't Help Myself \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Lakeside - It's All the Way Live \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Collage - Romeo Where's Juliet? \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Midnight Star - Freak-A-Zoid \u003cbr\u003e1.10 The Deele - Street Beat \u003cbr\u003e2.1 Shalamar - a Night to Remember (Us Extended Remix) \u003cbr\u003e2.2 The Whispers - Rock Steady \u003cbr\u003e2.3 Dynasty - Love in the Fast Lane \u003cbr\u003e2.4 Midnight Star - Scientific Love \u003cbr\u003e2.5 The Sylvers - Come Back Lover, Come Back \u003cbr\u003e2.6 Collage - Winners and Loser \u003cbr\u003e2.7 Carrie Lucas - Dance with You \u003cbr\u003e2.8 Eroy Hutson - Classy Lady \u003cbr\u003e2.9 Lakeside - One Minute After Midnight \u003cbr\u003e2.10 Bill Wolfer - Call Me\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Various Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32405241069639,"sku":"23173156","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/1332014.jpg?v=1747384642","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/various-artists-solar-the-ultimate-12inch-collection-various","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
