Here's a lovely overview of the second phase of Philip Smart's career, as engineer & producer at his own studio, HC&F. These ten tracks span the studio's catalog from the mid '80s when the studio really got going, right up until 1996 and his last set of proper productions.

The album holds a mix of well known classics like the Garnett Silk, lesser known album only cuts like the Frankie Paul, NY dancehall 12" staples like the Scion Success or Shelene, as well as some lesser known gems. The album also contains two previously unreleased cuts - a wicked mid '80s Tony Tuff, and the wild vocoder laden 1985 theme song for Philip's "Get Smart" radio show, which ran for many years on New York University's WNYU radio station.
