180 gram audiophile vinyl / 2018 COMPILATION, CONTAINING A SELECTION OF THEIR BEST SONGS AND (NEW) MIXES / INCLUDES A PRINTED INNERSLEEVE / FEAT. 'PABLO'S BLUES' (WITH ROBERT JOHNSON) & 'YOU'RE MY MEDICINE' (WITH MARVIN GAYE).First pressing of 1.000 individually numbered copies on transparent vinyl. In the period before their breakthrough with 'Sex 'n' Jazz, three international albums by Gare du Nord appeared to be cherished by the many fans of the first hour. The debut album '(In Search Of) Excellounge' with the European hit 'Pablo's Blues' appeared in the slipstream of St Germain's Tourist and became a classic in the genre. Successor 'Kind Of Cool' contained (in addition to the title song in the best Miles Davis tradition) the film hit 'Sold My Soul'. The successful Club Gare Du Nord had a remarkable contribution by trumpet player Erik Truffaz in the classic 'We Still Grow' and the catchy Becker / Fagen adaptation 'Go Back, Jack'. Although the three albums reached the gold status, they weren't available for ten years. The reason for this lay in the fact that producers Barend Fransen and Ferdi Lancee wanted to keep the analog sound of the tracks for a reissue on vinyl. Now the time has come: 'Fresh From The Can' contains an exclusive selection from the 'French' period of Gare du Nord, for which the original tracks were specially remastered for vinyl. Added to the album is the long version version of 'Rock Your Baby', recorded with the original singer George McCrae, that can't be found on any other release. 'Fresh From The Can', packed in new artwork inspired by Andy Warhol, offers a complete side for each of the three albums to preserve the original sound and atmosphere. Side four contains classic hits from the platinum albums 'Sex 'n' Jazz' and 'Love For Lunch'. Tracklist: Side A: 1. How Was It For You 2. Taxi Au Moulin 3. Pablo's Blues (Feat. Robert Johnson) 4.
