We are now in 1981 and The Floaters have had to move label again, now on Fee Detroit/WP Records.

The Floaters - Float Into The Future 1979/2012 CD FLAC

I should have posted this yesterday but I was busy on my private blog so I forgot, will you ever forgive me?

This is the third album by The Floaters, released on MCA Records after ABC Records was shut down.

Only the one single was released from this one and it was called 'Levitation' with 'The Best Of My Love' as the B side.

This is the 2012 CD release from PTG/Vinyl Masterpiece and as usual from this company it is a Vinyl rip.

The album got a further reissue in 2022 in Japan, was master tapes used for that release?

The Jackal Remastered Volume 7

 

Well here it is, the final Volume of The Jackal Remastered.

There will not be a Volume 8 as The Jackal died in 2012 and this is all I have.

Once the links die on these Jackal Comps that will be it, they will never be uploaded again.

I have two Soul Mixes by The Jackal which have never been posted, these will be available sometime later this year.

So send out much belated love to the man who was The Jackal.
