LOVETRAIN DAY AFTER B MUCH LOVE FROM NYC!!! ❤️ 🚂 Favorite track: Day After B.

Je-Mat I already have very similar "retrospective" released in CD like 12 years ago. I expected more surprising and differents track never pressed before like My sound etc... but sadly, I am always happy to get this one as Mr. G still get the true Bold vibes from early times. Love with nostalgy, j

Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
Mr. G, aka Colin McBean, presents a remastered, 23-track compilation entitled ‘OG Retrospective’

‘The day I found my original studio masters and got my rights back was the starting point, and then I realised it’s 25 years on and it’s time to recode, remaster and reevaluate because I’ve never looked back properly. I’ve always been like a bat out of hell, never quite thinking I’m good enough or great at what I do, but it’s important to celebrate, because there’s nota lot of people still here, still doing it after this length of time’.

With new masters provided by Simon at the renowned London mastering house The Exchange London, a direct link to the original mastering done by the late-Nilz (Nilesh Patel) from The Exchange, Mr. G’s ‘OG Retrospective’ marks a reflective period in McBean’s life.

‘All I’ve ever done is write and move forward, but more and more, I get the new generation sending me videos of my old tracks and sometimes I don’t even recognise them, so finally I thought, ‘ok, you’re comfortable in your own skin, let’s really see how you sounded at the beginning, how you’ve changed, how have the techniques changed’?

It was quite raw going back over these; some of the memories are riddled with pain and angst - friends dying, where I was in my life at the time, having a heart attack and so on. Having a sound, too, can be a cross to bear. You’re only ever competing with yourself, your only game is being better than your last game, so if you dwell on the past too much you can’t move forward. Getting to the point where I can look back and feel happy, feels good.

Invariably, what will come from this is ‘more’, because, with my own label I have endless possibilities and will continue telling my story.’
