A compilation extravaganza!!!.......2003-01-05

Wonderful mixture of various types of music, and artists of the past 3 decades. Contains jazz, R&B, Disco, acid jazz, and some rare and out-of-print recordings. If you have a wide variety if tastes, then you will not be disappointed. An absolutely brillant piece of work.
A+++. Cheers!
