It's the kind of thing that record labels dream of: they fantasise that one day they'll open a cupboard and discover a set of master tapes that the world thought had long since vanished. Preferably by someone good.
And though it may well sound like a PR fiction, this is exactly what happened to Shabby Doll boss Matt Swift recently when he unearthed a dusty-looking DAT dating back to... well, the age of the DAT.
But what was on it?
Fortunately for Shabby Doll, it did indeed turn out to be by someone good. In fact it was revealed to be a set of eight blinding house tracks by the artist who graced the very first Shabby Doll release last year - namely cult Nottingham DJ and producer Neil Tolliday, better known as Nail.
The DAT had been in hiding since 1997, when Nail was producing delicious uplifting house music firmly in the tradition of Nottingham's celebrated party scene, pre-dating his globe-trotting career as one half of Bent.
It's quite a find.
Only one of the eight tracks has previously seen the light of day: 'Brothers & Sisters' appeared in edited form on Matt Swift and Charles Webster's Remote Records back in 1998. But now we can get our hands on the full version, together with another seven mid-nineties beauties that glow with glitterball glory.
Firmly believing that music this good mustn't remain hidden, Shabby Doll are releasing the whole set, limited edition and individually numbered, as a must-have double pack, finally unleashing this long lost chapter in Nail's continuing house story, and giving his devoted dancefloor following another reason to throw their hands in the air.
So grab a copy and get out there: it's time to lose it all over again.
