DESCRIPTION
When Night Owls released their first 45 in July 2019, few could have predicted that their vision of reimagining soul classics in a Jamaican style would blossom into a catalog of fifteen 45s featuring a total of 27 songs with many of today's leading soul singers and legendary artists. Following the success of their first compilation LP, "Versions," it was only a matter of time before Night Owls would grace us with a Vol. 2. Now, in 2025, we are excited to present "Versions II," which compiles their latest seven 45s to date, tastefully programmed from start to finish. Raising the bar even higher, this production team, comprising Dan Ubick, Blake Colie, Dave Wilder, and Roger Rivas, further cements their distinct vision and signature sound, delivering hit after hit over the years. With Night Owls' twist on many beloved, chart-topping hits and diggers' choice deep cuts (including the highly in-demand and long-sold-out single "After Laughter b/w Didn't I"), producer Dan Ubick has once again meticulously curated a tracklist that highlights each vocalist's strengths. Featuring many well-known guest artists such as Hollie Cook (Prince Fatty, Mr. Bongo), N'Dea Davenport (The Brand New Heavies), Chris Dowd (Fishbone), Ranking Joe (Greensleeves, Joe Gibbs), Tippa Lee (Studio One, Dub Club), Trish Toledo, Asdru Sierra (Ozomatli), Malik Moore (Ocean 11), Alex Désert (Hepcat) & The Lions, Eli "Paperboy" Reed, Destani Wolf, Gina Murrell (U Roy, Wailing Souls, Orgone), Chris Murray, Miles Tackett (Breakestra, Funky Sole), and Jr. Thomas & The Volcanos, "Versions II" is yet another heavy soul and dub-infused LP, ready for turntables across the globe.
