Mr. G, aka Colin McBean, presents a remastered, 23-track 6LP compilation entitled ‘OG Retrospective’.

‘The day I found my original studio masters and got my rights back was the starting point, and then I realised it’s 25 years on and it’s time to recode, remaster and reevaluate because I’ve never looked back properly. I’ve always been like a bat out of hell, never quite thinking I’m good enough or great at what I do, but it’s important to celebrate, because there’s nota lot of people still here, still doing it after this length of time’.

With new masters provided by Simon at the renowned London mastering house The Exchange London, a direct link to the original mastering done by the late-Nilz (Nilesh Patel) from The Exchange, Mr. G’s ‘OG Retrospective’ marks a reflective period in McBean’s life.

‘All I’ve ever done is write and move forward, but more and more, I get the new generation sending me videos of my old tracks and sometimes I don’t even recognise them, so finally I thought, ‘ok, you’re comfortable in your own skin, let’s really see how you sounded at the beginning, how you’ve changed, how have the techniques changed’?
