2017 repress. As 2011's limited box set has been out of print for a while, Rush Hour decided to press up a 2LP version with 12 essential tracks from the original release that totals 60 minutes. If you missed the box set, this is a great chance to own some of Virgo Four's essential Chicago house music. The tracks were selected from 100s of 4-track tapes that had been untouched and unreleased all these years due to local record business politics and disinterest. These demo recordings have been restored and mastered for release. Resurrection really shows the rich, diverse and unique quality of Virgo Four, which leaves you wondering what impact they would have made on the (Chicago) house scene if they would have gotten released back in the day. Includes "It's A Crime," which was also remixed by Caribou in 2011.

"It's A Crime" is taken from Virgo Four's Resurrection (RH 113CD/BOX) album, which is now available as a single with remixes from Caribou and Hunee. Caribou reworks "It's A Crime" into an 8-minute epic dancefloor bomb. His mix starts out with an intimate vocal groove, but before long it explodes into a monstrous, acid-driven workout. Hunee goes for a more classic approach. And then there is the original mix -- a Chicago classic that never was.

Resurrection is the follow-up to the reissue of Virgo Four's self-titled album, which was released by Rush Hour in 2010. This album is a collection of unreleased tracks that were produced over a 6 year period between 1984 and 1990 in various home studios around Chicago. These tracks were selected from hundreds of 4-track tapes that had been untouched and unreleased all these years due to local record business politics and disinterest. These demo recordings have been restored and mastered for release. Resurrection really shows the rich, diverse and unique quality of Virgo Four, which leaves you wondering what impact they would have made on the (Chicago) house scene if they would have gotten released back in the day. For now, Rush Hour is really glad these gems have been unearthed and are proud to give Virgo Four the spotlight they so much deserve. Housed in a deluxe jewel case box.
