Nile Rodgers Presents The Chic Organization: Up All Night
Up All Night is a compilation album by Nile Rodgers and The Chic Organization, released in 2013. It contains recordings written, played and produced by Rodgers and Bernard Edwards for various artists including Sister Sledge, Diana Ross, Sheila & B. Devotion, Deborah Harry, Norma Jean Wright, Carly Simon, Johnny Mathis and their own group CHIC. The album was released in the UK and Europe at a time when interest in Rodgers and CHIC was high for various reasons: the publication of Rodgers autobiography the previous year, the appearance of BBC television and radio documentaries about him, the popularity of his collaboration with Daft Punk, "Get Lucky" (which is referenced in the compilations title and sleeve art), and a series of acclaimed live performances including one televised from the Glastonbury Festival on the weekend before the albums release. Most of the tracks featured are 12" versions and are mastered to match the pitch and tempo of the original vinyl releases; this resulted in some tracks having slightly shorter running times than on other CD issues. Up All Night reached number 2 in the UK Compilation Albums Chart for the week ending 13th July 2013.
