Label GB

Based in the UK, BGP is a soul, funk and jazz dance reissue label. The name BGP is derived from Beat Goes Public. Originally headed by DJs Baz Fe Jazz and Gilles Peterson, the label saw a change in leadership in the early 1990s when Russ Dewbury took over. Currently, Dean Rudland serves as the label head.

BGP has gained recognition for its reissues of classic soul, funk and jazz dance music. With a focus on preserving and reintroducing timeless tracks to modern audiences, BGP has become an authoritative voice in the genre.

With its impressive catalog of releases, BGP offers music enthusiasts a chance to explore and appreciate the rich history of soul, funk and jazz dance. Whether you're a seasoned fan or new to these genres, BGP provides an extensive collection that will satisfy your musical cravings.

Celebrating 40 years since its first release, Johnny Hammond's Gears is given the deluxe treatment on CD and vinyl with the addition of six previously unreleased tracks and a brand new transfer from the original masters. Recognised as one of the finest jazz funk albums of all time, Gears was produced by the Mizell brothers and stands alongside their work with Donald Byrd at the pinnacle of their careers.

Tracks such as "Shifting Gears" and "Los Conquistadores Chocolatés" have been club classics almost since the album was released. Hip hop and house producers have regularly used it as a source for samples. The bonus cuts shine a light on the Mizell's production process and show the strength of the material from which the released masters were culled.&nbsp;
