After extensive UK and US tape vault research, no original tape could be found for the 12" single versions of " Firecracker " ( track 1-14 ) and " Love You " ( track 1-15 ) . Using sonic solutions, original vinyl copies were used on this reissue.
Some information is taken from vinyl copies because there are several errors in the booklet.
"In The Purest Form/Massterpiece (Expanded+Remast.)" is a special 2-CD set by the legendary funk and soul band Mass Production, released by Cherry Red. This expanded and remastered edition brings together two of the group's most acclaimed albums: "In The Purest Form" from 1979 and "Massterpiece" from 1980. Both records showcase Mass Production's signature blend of infectious grooves, tight horn arrangements, and dancefloor-ready rhythms that made them favorites in the late '70s and early '80s R&B scene. Highlights include hits like ?Shante,? ?Sun Dancer,? ?Cosmic Lust,? and ?We Love You.? The package includes bonus tracks, rare mixes, detailed liner notes, and restored artwork for collectors. Mass Production rose to fame with their energetic sound that bridged disco, funk, and soul; their biggest hit "Firecracker" remains a classic sampled by many artists today. Cherry Red Records is renowned for its high-quality reissues across genres?especially soul, funk, rock?and has built a reputation as one of the leading independent labels dedicated to preserving musical heritage.
