Henrix People

Crimson Gold presents M People ‘Gold’, the only M People compilation you’ll ever need. M People became one of the worlds biggest dance and pop groups from the 1990s, selling more than 11 million records, 2 Brit Awards and a Mercury Prize. Featuring the unmistakable voice of Heather Small joining Paul Heard, Shovell and founder Mike Pickering. This 3CD collection is a definitive career spanning set including famous remixes and dance tracks. The ‘Gold’ collection includes 42 tracks, including all their 20 top 40 singles. CD1 includes 9 of their top 10 singles; ‘Moving On Up’, ‘One Night In Heaven’, ‘Sight For Sore Eyes’, ‘Search For A Hero’, ‘Just For You’. CD2 includes further favourites ‘Renaissance’ and ‘Natural Thing’. CD 3 features remixes and club mixes.

The Manchester, England-based trio M People scored in 1994 with a series of British Top Ten hits from its debut album Elegant Slumming; both "Moving on Up" and "One Night in Heaven" became U.S. dance club smashes, thanks to an endearing mixture of house and R&B, and Heather Small's startling vocal presence. Fortunately, M People did not suffer the dreaded sophomore slump; the 1995 release Bizarre Fruit continues in much the same vein as its predecessor. Bizarre Fruit is chock-full of funky house grooves, and Small's deep, soulful vocals add just the right touch to the mix, making M People considerably warmer than most contemporary dance acts.
