Cream of the Crop.......2001-07-28

This 2 disc set is one of the very finest disco compilations to be found. It represents the dance music of the late 70's and early 80's that was played in clubs, not on radio. Therefore it does not contain the oft-recycled KC, Bee Gees, or Village People. These songs didn't make the Top 40 or the Top 100 for that matter, but were beloved by the denizens of the clubs that set the trends. Joey Negro compiled here a sterling set of extended dance songs that hold up well and have not suffered from overexposure. The liner notes are extensive and informative. The CD is a sheer delight.

The first disc is nearly perfect, containing 8 exceptional tracks: "Bourgie Bourgie" by John Davis and the Monster Orchestra, "Let Me Down Easy" by Rare Pleasure (later covered by First Choice), "I Don't Want You Back" by Ramona Brooks, "Come Back Lover" by Fresh Band, "Feel It" by Revelation (no misnomer), "You've Got That Something" by Logg (featuring Leroy Burgess on lead vocals), "Don't Turn Your Back On Me" by the Frontline Orchestra, and the daffy semi-instrumental "In The Forest" by Baby O. Two additional tracks on disc one are good but not of the superb quality of these songs.

The second disc is less strong, containing three average rareties, two above average songs ("Que Tal America" by 2 Man Sound and "I Wanna Be Loved" by Family of Eve). Three songs are excellent. "I'll Be Your Pleasure" is a little heard Esther Williams number; "Take Some Time Out For Love" is credited to the Salsoul Orchestra but, vocals provided by Jovelyn Brown, it serves almost as an Inner Life track; and "Together Forever" by Exodus is an unusual piece, with an extended a capella intro leading to a powerful, percussive body. The weakest track on the entire set is "Trinidad" by John Gibbs, although this was a dance floor favorite in its time despite the "Love Boat" lyrics and singing. The ratio of great songs to average ones is better here than every other compilation I've found except Jumpin' 2. To have such a set of nearly lost tracks is a treasure. It is for disco and dance music lovers a bargain at 3 times the price.

If you love the hi-hat and the beat of disco you'll love this collection. It's mostly underground stuff from the late 70s and early 80s, and there are some real gems here: "Bourgie Bourgie", "I Don't Want You Back", "Feel It", "In The Forest", "San Salvador"; they're all here, and they mostly sparkle like pixie dust.

A Music Collector's Treasure.......2005-01-05

With most compilations, there are some gems, some okay tracks and some complete misses, which you pretty much have to accept. It's sort of like accepting the few flaws your girl has because she's so great at everything else.
Every once in a while (and more often than not with Keb Darge and Dr. Bob Jones) a compilation comes along that reaches perfection. I've had this cd for a few years and still can't stop listening to it, it is by far their strongest compilation, with some serious work in finding tracks that had to be distributed to a wider audience.
"Ain't No Love Lost" by Patti Jo has so much raw feeling in it, an infectious voice that makes you identify with what she's singing about.
"She's So Good" is another track that shows the difference between Dr. Bob Jones and Keb Darge's tastes and backgrounds, as it is a track that you can't help but move to. Take note: if you're listening to this while you're driving, you'll be singing, bobbing your head and feeling the need to improvise dance moves, alternating hands on and off the wheel.
Simply put, you're never going to find a compilation better than this, no matter what kind of music.
