U.K. funk/rock outfit Jamiroquai has chosen the tracks for the latest edition of Ultra Records’ “Late Night Tales” series. Due Nov. 4, the 15-track disc features vintage soul and R&B cuts from the Pointer Sisters (“Happiness”), the Commodores (“Girl, I Think the World About You”), Leon Ware (“What’s Your Name”) and Marvin Gaye (“Here, My Dear”), among others.
Also included are tracks by Johnny Hammond, Ashford & Simpson, Sister Sledge, Ramsey Lewis and Jose Feliciano. Previous entries in the “Late Night Tales” series include mixes by Groove Armada, Zero 7 and Sly & Robbie.
