Gems from Vee-Jay.......2005-11-30

Two CDs full of wonderful gems from the 1950s and 1960s - gospel, soul, R&B, blues, pop, doo wop, they're all here on this Metro re-issue, in good quality sound, although a few of the tracks have been slightly truncated. A few old chestnuts share space with less familiar but welcome tracks from the El Dorados, Betty Everett, Little Richard with Jimi Hendrix, Elmore James, Rosco Gordon and many others.
The original July 1958 recording of Hank Ballard and the Midnighter's historic The Twist was made in Miami FL for Vee-Jay but unreleased at the time, the song appearing instead on a November 1958 re-recording for Federal, originally as a B-side in 1960. The rarer Vee-Jay recording is listed here, complete with recording date and anecdotal information, but is actually the Federal/King hit recording, presumable due to some kind of licensing error.

heavy grooves.......2006-05-09

I wish they had part one of this here as well (even though I already own it). . . Heck - I'd like to see more of these . . .Maybe I just need to hunt down the artists , and buy their albumns

And I agree with the reviewer below me - there is no disco here . . I think the first reviewer left his review for the wrong product . . . this cd should not be confused with "pure funk" - which is disco .

Anyway , there are a few really good tracks here , then there are a few so-so tracks. . .but for the price - I would definitely recommend this to funk and soul fans .

way funky.......2005-08-05

these are funk instrumentals by unknown artists. there is no disco, big stars, or hot hits, as stated in the review below. it is indeed good music for a party soundtrack, however. very groovy and old-school. lots of solo organs and saxes.

Not bad for something to play at a party.......1998-08-29

This cd is a mix of good and bad disco. It has all the trendy hot disco songs from the seventys that you love along with all the bubble gum disco. If you are having a party at your house there a definetly songs on this album that will get your groove going an overall good chose from somene that likes a wide variety of music.
