A cool collection of 80s groovers from the legendary Mirage Records, a relatively short-lived imprint, but home to some real classics from back in the day. The Mirage approach was a crucial step in the post-disco years, a way of bringing some leaner sounds to the dance floor by picking up on the best funk and club elements of the time, yet also fusing the whole groove into some soulful leads that often put Mirage right in the middle of the mainstream too. This set features some hip singles from the label, plus key album tracks as well. Tracks include Nuclear Holocaust (12-inch version) by The Future, You Are The One (Tony Humphries mix) by Stroke, This Is For You (long vocal version) by The System, Hot Number (vocal 12-inch mix) by Anthony Franklin, I Work For A Livin' by Fonzi Thornton, Boy Where Have You Been (long vocal version) by Roz Ryan, DJ's Delight by Ingram, and Things Are Not The Same (long vocal version) by First Love.
