A nostalgic trip through mid-1980s UK soul, funk, and boogie, Music & Time, 1983–1985 is a lovingly curated compilation from Freestyle Records released on October 24, 2024. It brings together the complete recorded output of Take Three—fronted by sisters Jackie & Jean Heron and Marlene Richardson from the lovers-rock group Alpha—enhanced with previously unreleased material produced by the S.H.E. trio (Steve Sinclair, Peter Hinds & Kevin Ellis). This compilation spotlights an inventive yet overlooked corner of UK music history: soul and funk emerging from grassroots communities. The creative partnership catalyzed by The Black Theatre Co‑Op led to a unique blend of theatrical soul and underground groove that influenced later acts like Incognito, Light of the World, and Beggar & Co. The album is regularly shared and celebrated on soul and boogie forums, with Reddit users joining in the enthusiasm for this "80s UK boogie" revival, noting "great tune – so much good stuff on the Elite label" in community discussions. In a nutshell, Music & Time, 1983–1985 is both time capsule and revival: warm, soulful, and deeply rooted in DIY spirit. It’s essential for collectors of British soul, funk, and boogie who appreciate rediscovered gems and well-sequenced compilations with both dancefloor energy and emotional depth.
