General comment.......2006-06-16

I have not had a chance to listen to the albums in this set. However, I apreciate the sole review offered (can't recall reviewer's ID), because I WAS posied to purchase this set prior to reading said (independent) description.

Back in the early '90s when I was a lad, the first funk and soul and salsoul compilations I came across were put out by such labels as 'Scotti Brothers', 'Ubiquity' (an homage to Roy Ayers' early stuff?), and of course, MC.

The MC products (rare groove, funk cuts, salsoul, disco, jazz-funk) were and still are a superior entre into these genres. The albums didn't just recycle popular tracks - I am not a dilettante, and yet 'Turn Off The Lights' by Larry Young's 'Fuel' band was new to my ears.

The sole reviewer has hit the mark in stating that MC has compromised its reputation with the relatively recent 'Breaks' release (Roy Ayers and a drum-machine? Seriously, MC?). But considering the quality of the releases in the '90s, it is, I suspect, hard to maintain such a standard.

Poorly assembled, misleading track listing.......2005-09-22

After owning many of the Mastercuts vinyl compilations, I was excited to get this set. I was extremely upset to find that many of the most desirable songs on here such as "Everybody Loves The Sunshine" and "Running Away" by Roy Ayers, and "Always There" by Ronnie Laws are MUCH later versions. The Roy ayers cuts have 80's drum machines in them! Total crap. I mean, really bad versions. I already have these records, but I imagine one looking at this set would be excited to get those songs.

Who would want anything other than the originals?

Also, there is a cut "Aaron's Song" by Dan Moretti, that is nothing more than an awful smooth jazz ballad. Can somebody please explain to me how this got on a set of 'Breaks?'

Sure it's got 'It's A New Day' by Skull Snaps and a few others, but Mastercuts should be totally ashamed of these new 3 disc sets they have released. They have ruined the name and the series, by unloading crap they have the rights to and not being clear that many of the best titles are re-makes or live versions.

Whomever assembled these sets had absolutely NO idea what they were doing or what a real 'Break' record is.

Avoid these new mastercuts sets at all costs, they are untrue to
the series, and an effort to profit from poor titles.

Total Crap!

Album Description

Mastercuts teams up with Roy Ayers to bring you some of the finest moments from Mr. Jazz Funk on Mastercuts Presents…!

Once one of the most visible and winning jazz musicians of the 1960s, then an R&B bandleader in the 1970s and `80s, Roy Ayers' reputation is now that of one of the prophets of acid jazz, a man decades ahead of his time.

Mastercuts Presents… features essential songs such as "Everybody Loves The Sunshine," "Running Away," and "Poo Poo La La." Like all releases on Mastercuts Presents… CD series - this one also comes with exclusive and detailed sleeve notes written and complied by Quinton Scott former Strut label head.

Here you have some great classic old-schoolers some of which are hard to find and/or are most likely only on records. A particular song I though I would never find is Mellow Mellow Right On, a 1979 R&B/Dance number from Lowrell.
