ABOUT THEM:

Sold Out (AKA Souled Out) was a studio project band created by a studio production team of three Italian musicians and songwriters namely Alessandro Sommella, Domenico “GG” Canu and Sergio Della Monica. Sold Out hired a number of session musicians including vocalists Sarah Warwick (who sang on the single "Shine On") and Jerome Stokes (who sang of 4 tracks) to assist their own performances to create the highly regarded early 90's Acid Jazz album 'Souled - The Magic of The Language of Music In Effect'. The album was recorded at Sony's London studios and was the first new album release under the Sony Music name in Italy after Sony changed its name from CBS Records to Sony Music.
It received releases in the USA, the UK and Australia and the single lifted from the album 'Shine On' was a dance floor hit in a number of territories including their home country of Italy. This track was also remixed by Joey 'Dave Lee' Negro, and another version by Mark Brydon.

Session Musicians who played on the album included Robin Smith (piano), Tim Cannsfield (Guitar), Luis Jardim (Percussion), Bob Fix (Saxophones), Rio (Lead Vocals (on 2 tracks) & backing vocals) and Candy McKenzie (Backing Vocals).

This seems to be the only recording project released by Sold Out themselves, but as a production team they worked for a number of other artists over the years.

In 1999 the Sold Out team merged with another Italian production team 'Kama Sutra' made up of Marco Baroni and Alex Blacks to create a new Italian super group known as Planet Funk.
