The Chic Organisation 1977-1979 a new 6LP vinyl box set that features CHIC‘s first three albums, Sister Sledge’s We Are Family and a bonus disc of seven-inch edits and 12-inch remixes.
This release is to celebrate the 40th anniversary of US chart-topping single ‘Le Freak’, which was released on 21 September 1978.
The three CHIC albums in this box set are CHIC, C’est Chic, and Risqué. The Sister Sledge album We Are Family was of course entirely written and produced by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, which is why it forms part of this set.
These have been newly remastered at half-speed from the original Atlantic stereo tapes by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios. As executive producer, Nile Rodgers personally oversaw the remastering process with the approval of Bernard Edwards’ estate.
