Regular price $20.99

Following the well-received Prince Philip Presents 2LP compilation, here's a lovely overview of the second phase of Philip's career, as engineer and producer at his own studio, HC&F. These ten tracks comprise our favorites from his production catalog, spanning the mid '80s when the studio really got going, right up until 1996 and his last set of proper productions. The album holds a mix of well-known classics like the Garnett Silk, lesser-known album only cuts like the Frankie Paul, NY dancehall 12" staples like the Scion Success or Shelene, as well as some lesser-known gems. This album also contains two previously unreleased cuts -- a wicked mid '80s Tony Tuff, and the wild vocoder laden 1985 theme song for Philip's 'Get Smart' radio show, which ran for many many years on New York University's WNYU radio station.
