Billed as "a sophisticated selection of unreleased soundtrack tunes", Pop Boutique is guaranteed to satisfy fans of library jazz funk. The source for most of the tracks are the defunct Munich labels Sonoton, Selected Sound and Edition Show Business, presented here by Spinning Wheel.
The sound quality is excellent - though the levels seem to jump around - and the range of sounds is pleasingly diverse. From the slow soul of Nancy Holloway on "Sand and Rain" to Racines Synthetiques's electro funk "Asteroide" to the psycho beat crime jazz of Alan Lewis, the ears behind Spinning Wheel show remarkably good taste.
Sub-titled "Selected Sounds for Hipsters," my expectations for the third installment in this growing Spinning Wheel series were high, and I wasn't disappointed. The packaging breaks with the mannequin design on the series' first two installments, sporting instead a minimalistic gold, black and white design.
The disc kicks off with an instrumental version of "Sex World" by Barry Lipman, though the track listing identifies it as "Highway Patrol". (This track has had a strange life, turning up as the theme to an American-made porn movie, on the soundtrack for the German-made sci-fi TV show Star Maidens, and now from a German sound library collection.) Oddly enough, another Lipman track heard on the Star Maidens soundtrack as "Akam on the Move" turns up here as "Hot Track" by Rex Brown Company. Very odd, indeed.
That's not to say that Pop Boutique 3 is of dubious worth. In fact, it's chuck full of very cool grooves culled from the Selected Sounds library in Hamburg. Not all of it will be new to listeners familiar with other compilations of this type. Still, it's at least as funky as Pop Boutique 1 & 2. And I highly recommend it, despite the aforementioned informational inconsistencies.
