Network – I Need You on CD

Network is one of those rare acts that briefly emerged in the vibrant soul and funk scene of the 1980s, yet managed to leave a lasting impression. With their iconic track I Need You, Network perfectly captured the essence of smooth grooves, soulful vocals, and tight funk arrangements that defined the golden era of modern soul music.

Originally released on vinyl in the early 80s, the I Need You album quickly became a true collector’s item—pressed in limited quantities and highly sought-after by funk enthusiasts around the world. Though their time in the spotlight was short, the band stood out for its polished production and emotionally rich sound.

While Network never became a mainstream name, their musical legacy lives on through this rare and timeless release now carefully remastered and reissued on CD by Vinyl Masterpiece. Their work remains a shining example of the depth and quality found in underground 80s soul and funk.

In fact, Network – I Need You marked the very beginning of Vinyl Masterpiece. It was the first album we ever reissued. We believed that if fans were as passionate about this record as we were, it would open the door to bringing more long-lost disco and funk gems back to life. Fortunately, you proved us right—it was a success. Your enthusiasm allowed us to invest in our webshop and begin an exciting journey centered around the music we love most.

Over the years, we’ve gained valuable experience in restoring original artwork and mastering 80s recordings. With this knowledge, we decided to revisit this special album and give it the care and attention it truly deserves. So we remastered it once again, repaired the artwork, and re-released it with the original cover.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who supported us along the way. And to all our loyal VM members—thank you. Without you, Vinyl Masterpiece wouldn’t exist.

Why this release still matters:
– Originally only available on vinyl, now on high-quality CD

– Digitally remastered from the original tapes with improved clarity and dynamics

– Exclusive release through Vinyl Masterpiece

– A tribute to the album that launched our reissue journey

– We’d like to sincerely thank all of you who have supported us throughout the years. And of course, a special thanks to all our VM Members—without you, none of this would be possible.
