Roy Ayers' Virgin Ubiquity, Vol. 2: Unreleased Recordings 1976-1981 is another hodgepodge of demos and outtake cuts that were left off official releases for various reasons. That said, for Ayers fans, the set is consistent. 'I Am Your Mind, Pt. 2' is an alternate of the classic, and offers a solid contrast. 'Slow Tarzan (Funk in the Hole)' is a slippery little groove track with nothing much. Virgin Ubiquity: Unreleased Recordings by Roy Ayers, released 26 January 2004 1. I Really Love You 4.

First released back in 2004/2005, BBE Music’s ‘Virgin Ubiquity’ compilations of previously unreleased Roy Ayers cuts have become sought after collector’s items in their own right. At the time of their initial release it was somewhat mystifying that these lost recordings had evaded release for so long. At a time when CD deluxe editions were, if you’ll pardon the pun, ubiquitous, it was something of a marvel that such a large volume of cuts from Ayers’ most productive period had remained hidden for such a time.

Curated by BBE label boss Pete Adarkwah from Roy’s original tapes, the recordings featured on the two compilations date from 1976 to 1981, a period which begins with ‘Everybody Loves the Sunshine’ (Ayers’ most sampled track with over 140 documented samples and counting) and closes with Roy’s production of Sylvia Striplin’s ‘You Can’t Turn Me Away’ (another oft-sampled cut which found favour with Junior M.A.F.I.A., Erykah Badu and more than 20 others).

In between those two heavily sampled landmarks sit many of Ayers’ most recognisable cuts and productions, including ‘Running Away’ and RAMP’s ‘Daylight’ (both sampled by A Tribe Called Quest) and ‘Searching’ (sampled by Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth and Ed O.G. & Da Bulldogs among others).

The tracks on this compilation evoke that golden period but comprise entirely previously unreleased tracks. Some are previously unheard versions of songs which did see a full release (an alternative recording of 1975’s ‘Mystic Voyage’ for example), whilst others offer hints of better known material recorded at the time. Most, however, are entirely new (old) cuts: full tracks, largely with vocals that neither sound like demos nor cast offs.

Those reading the albums liner notes will see no shortage of familiar names among the Ubiquity personnel who appear on these archive recordings. Heavily sampled funky drummer Bernard Purdie and Edwin Birdsong (an artist whose solo material has been sampled by Daft Punk and De La Soul among others) are just two examples from this all star line up.

There is enough material across both volumes of ‘Virgin Ubiquity’ for 3 or 4 self-contained albums alone, so these recordings come from what is arguably the peak of Ayers’ recording career. Ayers himself says “at that time I was writing 30 to 40 songs per day-I was on a magnificent roll. It’s amazing, all these records that I never got round to releasing.”

Ayers also recgnises the manner in which Hip Hop was established new interest in this archive material and his back catalogue generally: “People love that old analog sound. Something aboutthat period of time turns people on. I suppose the sound is the reason why a lot of the Hip-Hoppers sample me, too.”

Roy Ayers' Virgin Ubiquity, Vol. 2: Unreleased Recordings 1976-1981 is another hodgepodge of demos and outtake cuts that were left off official releases for various reasons. That said, for Ayers fans, the set is consistent. 'I Am Your Mind, Pt. 2' is an alternate of the classic, and offers a solid contrast. 'Slow Tarzan (Funk in the Hole)' is a slippery little groove track with nothing much behind it except it feels good. 'Liquid Love' (a song about kissing) should have surfaced somewhere with its juxtaposition of Rhodes with vibes and strings and a popping backbeat. 'Third Time' is a throwaway but has plenty of ambition and a smoking string arrangement by William Allen as well as a solid vocal performance by Carla Vaughn; still, it's a little too loose for Ayers' smooth groove. 'Tarzan' is a fusion fest of funk and jazz dance. It burns and is the most driving cut on the set. 'I Like the Way You Do It to Me' is as big a throwaway as the title. But 'Come to Me,' despite its rather raw mix, is a deeply satisfying funk-disco burner, and 'Kwajilori' is simply infectious with its keyboard bass and Ayers' vibes taking the melodic idea from South African jive. 'Release Yourself' owes plenty to Bootsy and George Clinton -- 'nuff said. The demo version of 'Sunshine' that closes the album -- featuring Ayers on vocals -- is rough, but a beautiful foreshadowing of the monster tune that was to come, and is most welcome here. Ultimately, Virgin Ubiquity, Vol. 2 is only going to appeal to the hardcore element in Ayers' fan base, but for those folks, it will come as a welcome addition to his catalog.~Thom Jurek
