To understand what the Platters Sessions are all about, here's a bit of background. In 2007, TSP began releasing a series of "Platters" releases via Jamendo. The Platters series were an exploration of vinyl samples based on particular themes. The first installment, "Platters Act. 1 (Lounge Music And Exotica)" featured lush orchestration and smooth rhythms. Then in 2008, the second installment, "Platters Act. 2 (The Untouchables)", went sort of unreleased (more about that in the official XE liner-notes). It featured an episode of the TV show "The Untouchables" infused into a sonic world of funky hip-hop beats and jazzy melodies. Finally, in 2009, TSP dropped the third and final act of the series... "Platters Act. 3 (Tape Deck)", a sort of beat tape, but with a completely unique TSP vibe. For the first time, "Tha Complete Platters Sessions XE" collects all 3 acts together along with a bonus disc of outtakes from the period, making for an incredible 3CD set of sonic treats! Add to that the maxBloc exclusives on this single along with the one that's set to follow the XE release and you've got a whole hell of a lot of new listening coming this month!
