Merry Xmas From The Jackal

 I only have three mixes by The Jackal that celebrate Xmas, and I posted one last year so there will be one for next year.

Again no track list so hopefully their is some surprises for you.

I have four unpublished mixes by The Jackal featuring the talent of Mr. Barry White, I'm hoping I get the time soon to remaster them for you.

Enjoy and please leave some positive comments.

Kathy Barnes Goes Disco 1978 & 1979 (2022 Remaster) WAV

 Kathy Barnes started her singing career in 1975 with a few singles for the MGM label before signing for Republic Records in 1976. She cut her first LP in 1976 called Someday Soon and followed this up in 1977 with an LP called Kathy Barnes Sings Gene Autry.

In 1978 she goes Disco, which was the fashion at the time with an LP called Body Talkin' which spawned three singles, all featured here.

In 1979 she did a one off single for Republic Records called Fun & Games, not sure if there was to be a second LP but it never materialised.

In 1981 she went back to her country roots with a single released on Handshake records called In The Beat Of A Heart, this was as far as I can tell the end of Kathy Barnes's musical journey.

Next time's featured artist will be Caroline Bernier.

Araxis - Space Ranger 1982/2022 Remaster

 The Araxis from 1978 is the same as the Araxis in 1982?, well no it appears not.

Araxis from 1978 is a French Production, while the 1982 gets it's origins from what little information I can find in Germany.

The Remix by Peter Frost is the Canadian connection, as this record was never released anywhere else in the world.

O.R.S. - Neonlight Children (Unreleased LP from 1981) WAV

 Scheduled for a release in 1981, it even had a catalogue number but never saw the light of day.

This is ripped from a test pressing.

No back cover art work exists to my knowledge.

NEON

Araxis - Araxis Space Ship WAV 1978/2022 Remaster

 In the world we live in now records like this could never be made.

But it was back in 1978 and this release came out of France, got a Canadian release and even the 7 Inch got released in Italy too.

SUITE

Skatt Brothers - Walk The Night (Disconet Remix)

 Hopefully this is the Skatt Brothers - Walk The Night Disconet Remix someone has requested?

Please be aware that this rip comes from a bootleg CD and the track is a vinyl rip, complete with the snap, crackle and pop you would expect from such a boot.

Jackal's In Car Mix 001 (Remastered 2022) FLAC

 I have 4 Mixes by The Jackal which he sent me in 2011 for me to play in my car. There was originally 5, but the DVD he sent me was corrupted so I only managed to get 4 of them off.

I have no track listing for this mix, you will just have to play it and enjoy what you hear.

I have tried to remaster the sound from the original files he sent me, unfortunately they are only as good as the source material.

It is now 10 years since the Jackal passed away, and not a day goes by that we don't miss his sense of humour, his wit and of course his great mixes.

Kano - The Complete Works 1980 - 1985 MP3 (320)

I created this compilation to play in my car with help from my good friend Paul Colourzone, especially with tracks 25 - 28.

Before you ask, there are no FLAC, WAV or APE files for this compilation, about 95% of the tracks can be found on the internet in WAV etc so track them down yourself.

Enjoy this on for now.
