We are very proud to present the first round of reissues from New Image Music as we celebrate our 40th anniversary. Over the years, New Image Music, IMG International, and PowerHouse Records have released a combined total of 66 recordings.

New Image has always been a grassroots music label with a clear vision—to provide an outlet for new and emerging artists. At the same time, the label has proudly supported recording artists who were signed to major music companies. Artists such as Kleeer (Atlantic Records), Marc Sadane (Warner Brothers), and Octavia (Sony Music) are part of this legacy.More exciting releases are on the way, including previously unreleased music from Barbara Fowler, Sharon Redd, and others. Next week, look out for a special release from Viola Wills on IMG International. I also had the privilege of recording an unreleased song by Debbie Jacobs, which remains one of my personal favorites.All of the music in this series has been digitally remastered and rerecorded, accompanied by stunning new artwork.

A heartfelt thank you to all the incredible musicians and singers who dedicated their time and talent to these recordings. And special thanks to the international DJs who continue to support and play our unique brand of Dance Music.

Just know that Darryl Payne truly loves and appreciates you all.
