Acid Jazz, the brainchild of Piller
and Peterson, was born in 1987 and immediately hit a chord in the UK by
appealing to a cross section of serious fans - from old school Jazzers, obsessive
Jazz-Funkers, passionate Soulboys, sharp-dressed Mods, nodding Hip-Hoppers and
even laid back Dreads.
Before
long the tentacles of the Acid Jazz movement were spreading throughout the
world and what began as a bedroom label between two mates soon became a mecca
for various tribes who had become disenfranchised from other scenes.
From
international breakthrough successes like the Brand New Heavies, Jamiroquai and
the Totally Wired series, Acid Jazz cemented it’s image as one of the most
iconic and unique UK record labels of the last 3 decades.
Harmless Records in conjunction with BBC Worldwide and Acid Jazz have packaged this beautiful
collectors box set featuring:
4 x Audio CD’s.
1 x music video DVD (including
promo videos and interviews).
1 24 page book, containing photographs and sleeve-art
throughout the last 25 years.

The Young Disciples, Humble Souls and countless others. As well as new ones,The Third Degree, Janice Graham Band and Men Of North Country. Plus ‘friends’ of the label who released
