Details: The S.O.L.A.R. 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&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 & future music executive Antonio "L.A." Reid.
