Ronson, Mark & The Business Intl. - Record Collection (2025 Reissue)

The impressive roll call of guest vocalists – from Ghostface Killah to the London Gay Men’s Chorus via D’Angelo and Simon Le Bon - is matched by Mark’s agile and diverse production on this his third long player, originally issued in late September 2010.

Its release was preceded by the superb singles ‘Bang Bang Bang’ (featuring Q-Tip and MNDR), ‘The Bike Song’ (featuring Kyle Falconer and Spank Rock) and followed by the perhaps even more impressive ‘Somebody To Love Me’ (featuring Boy George and Andrew Wyatt).

As acknowledged by Rolling Stone magazine, the sheer variety on show could easily have been an overreach, “…but Record Collection hangs together as an album. Ronson is the rare DJ-producer who is as fluent with melodies as he is with beats.”
