MCKENZIE & GARDINER - TIMESTAMP: THE COLLECTION Vinyl 2xLP
Earl McKenzie & Clive Gardiner are two lifelong friends who grew up together in Southall, West London, UK. Their mutual love of soul and funk inspired them to form a 7-piece band THE CLASS OF 78 while still at school and years later became a duo McKenzie & Gardiner. They made their first demos in 1983 followed soon after by a 12" single ”FROM TIME” which became a highly sought-after Boogie-Funk Rare Groove. This collection of unreleased demos from the early 1980s was first released digitally in 2013 and then expanded with 3 new additions in 2020. An 8-track limited edition vinyl version released in 2014 sold out immediately. Now, the full 15 track selection of demos have been remastered and packaged in full as the “Timestamp: The Collection”, a 2xLP with lyrics and liner notes and double cassette release.
