For vinyl collectors and music lovers, Old Gold was a go-to UK record label in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, known for reissuing classic tracks from legendary artists. Specializing in soul, rock ‘n’ roll, disco, and R&B, Old Gold made sure that timeless hits stayed in circulation long after their original pressings disappeared from shelves.
If you were into collecting 7-inch or 12-inch records in the UK back in the day, chances are you came across an Old Gold reissue. They provided an affordable way to get your hands on classic tracks without hunting down rare and expensive originals. Many DJs relied on these pressings to keep dance floors moving with the best soul, funk, and disco classics!
There’s something truly special about spinning a classic on vinyl, and today, it’s all about LeVert’s Casanova. Released in 1987 on the legendary Atlantic Records label, this track remains one of the smoothest R&B jams of its time. Gerald LeVert’s soulful vocals, the infectious groove, and that unmistakable 80s production make it an absolute must-have for any vinyl lover.
Back in the day, labels like Atlantic, Motown, and Solar Records were churning out timeless R&B hits, each with its signature sound and production style. Casanova is a perfect example of that era’s magic—blending funk, soul, and a touch of new jack swing to create a song that still gets people moving.
Listening to this track on vinyl brings out the richness of the production in a way that digital just can’t replicate. The warmth of the analog sound, the slight crackle of the record—it all adds to the experience. Nothing beats the feeling of dropping the needle and letting a classic play the way it was meant to be heard.
