Product Description

If you believe Robert Johnson was the first to play rock ’n’ roll, listen up. Records made by African-American artists in the 1890s anticipated by decades the essentials of jazz, rhythm and blues, rock ’n’ roll—and yes, even Robert Johnson. Unlike the pioneer blues and jazzmen of the 1920s—whose contributions to American music are duly documented and appreciated today—the achievements of their forgotten predecessors are all but erased from history: the sound too limited, the grooves too noisy, the words too painful. Tim Brooks brought the Lost Sounds of these pioneer black performers to our notice with the publication of his groundbreaking book. Archeophone brings these Lost Sounds to life with the release of this CD. And none too soon, as the precious few sounds that have survived a century of neglect are fading fast. Those experienced with pioneer recordings are in for some surprises, as most are reissued here for the first time. And those who are not . . . you’ve not heard anything like them before. Many are not easy to listen to. But they are worth the effort, as they let us hear—as close to first hand as possible—the forgotten black artists who contributed so significantly to American music and culture. Your view of history is about to be rocked.

Interesting .......2007-03-11

This is not my favorite of my many compilations of early American recordings but it does have some very interesting stuff on it. A better comp in my opinion is Roots N' Blues,The Retrospective(1925-1950). Now thats a great overview of early americana. But still, Lost Sounds has its merits. The songs that have very rough reproduction actually give the CD a haunting quality. If you want to go way back to the dawn of the recording industry like I did then you will not be disappointed but if you want something a little more listenable, then go w/ the Roots CD. Hope that was helpful to somebody...

for audiophiles and history buffs only........2007-02-22

if like me, you are fascinated with sound, and find it mind-boggling to put on a pair of headphones and hear the voice of someone who was alive in 1891 coming back to life right in your ears, then this 2 disc set is for you. if you are simply looking for a purely rewarding musical experience, then this set is probably not for you. understandably, all the stuff recorded before roughly 1910 has very, very poor sound quality. it is the fascination with the mere existence of these sounds that is the thrill, not the tunes themselves. the post 1910 tracks have basically good sound quality for the most part, and there is a wide variety of styles, all pre-blues, except for the last song of disc 2, w.c. handy's memphis blues band playing their legendary "st louis blues," which is still part marching band, part vaudeville, as much as it is blues. elsewhere you get gospel, singing quartets, folk tunes, classical, opera, orchestras, jazz, and 2 spoken word tracks (one by then heavyweight boxing champion jack johnson, and one by booker t. washington). you also get a lot of novelty tunes (i repeat a lot of novelty tunes), especially on disc one. i don't know if these novelty numbers actually passed for funny back in the day, but they wear pretty thin pretty quick to the modern sensiblity. anyway, fascinating for lovers of history, or collectors of old-time audio, but will not fulfill your wildest musical dreams i am afraid.

Deserving of Recognition.......2007-02-14

First of all, congratulations to Archeophone Records and Lost Sounds for winning the 2007 Grammy Award for Best Historical Album. Hopefully this recognition will allow the music and its message to be more widespread.

Again, not much can be added to what has been written; the significance of this CD cannot be overlooked. I've been fortunate to have been exposed to a wide variety of music since childhood, but Lost Sounds is unlike anything I had previously heard. It's a great piece of history that offers a new perspective on music as a whole. I still can't get over the fact that some of these recordings have survived over one hundred years - despite the disposable age we seem to live in.

No matter what your musical tastes, Lost Sounds deserves a listen - especially to the history aficionado.

equal parts fascination and revulsion.......2006-07-07

There's not too much I can say that hasn't already been mentioned in the previous review, but I felt a need to add to (or help start) the chorus of praise for this collection.
As a fan of country blues and songster material (often predating country blues) this collection has been a real eye-opener. While I've heard some minstrel material from Jim Jackson, Pink Anderson, and some early blues players, this collection shows just how much more disturbing the minstrel tradition could be.
I suppose this album is best described as bittersweet; it contains some breathtaking music in a variety of genres, (the earliest examples I've ever heard of blues, jazz, gospel, minstrelsy, and the astounding vocal groups). However, it is in some of the self-defacing subject matter where the abhorant racism of the times left its audible mark the most (sometimes making songs difficult to listen to). That said, I truly believe that this is material to be embraced and understood; so as to both appreciate the artistry of it, and to ensure that such horrendous persecution does not occur again; if approached in this light, "Lost Sounds" is a true landmark for which listeners owe Archeophone records their sincerest thanks (and/or dollars). I honestly believe that any person with interests in black music created in the U.S. over the past century, or modern history for that matter, should not be without this collection.
It never ceases to astound me how something so beautiful can be quite so disturbing at the same time, but I'm so thankful I have had the chance to be disturbed at all.

Priceless documents in context.......2006-01-05

I read Tim Brooks' book Lost Sounds soon after it came out. Both early recordings and pre-jazz African-American music have been interests of mine for a while now, and Brooks' book is an invaluable work on both. This companion double CD set, used either as aural illustration for the book or by itself, is equally invaluable.

As Brooks readily admits, many of these sounds were forgotten and nearly extinguished because of their discomforting nature. Many of the black performers before 1922 engaged in one sort of "tomming" or another. The recording industry was a whites-only business, and only those artists who appealed to whites in some way got recorded at this time. Thus these recordings can't be taken as representative of the music African-Americans made for their own enjoyment.

The variety of styles and approaches in the black music recorded in the 90's, aughts, and teens reflects the variety of ideas and approaches to black self-representation in these times. From dignified gospel styles to minstrel songs, from sentimental ballads to the startling proto-jazz of Jim Europe, Ford Dabney and Wilbur Sweatman, every expression of black artists was necessarily related to political or social ideals and realities. The CDs not only present this wide variety of material, but the 58-page notes help draw out the social significance of each type of recording.

Rather than proceeding chronologically, the contents are divided roughly into four sections, Vocal Harmonies, Minstrel and Vaudelville Traditions, Aspirational Motives, and Dance Rhythms. Except for the last section which focuses on later instrumentals, there is a good deal of overlap between the sections, but this only helps illustrate the overlaps in the traditions.

The sound quality, while never hi-fi, is amazing considering the sources. Some of the best people in the early-sound restoration field contributed their efforts and it shows. I know from experience just how difficult it is to get all the sound out of an early recording. All involved deserve a big hand.

My one complaint with the package is the inclusion at the beginning of the Minstrel notes of a noxious quote from Stanley Crouch dismissing all rap music as new minstrelsy aimed at white audiences. Brooks is aware that the politics of self-representation among early 20th Century African-Americans were extremely complex. How he could fail to see that they still are complex, and how he could miss the blinding upper-class bias of Crouch, is beyond me. It's possible the quote was supposed to be a demonstration of the continuing complexity of these politics, but it appears to be just an endorsement of Crouch's ignorance.

Under-rated heavy funk/sweet soul unit !.......2007-03-12

The only thing missing from this CD was the great feel and covers the NEW BIRTH's actual albums had... they tended to flow from tune to tune and always have an integrated and "spiritual" like concept. Often, one side would be Jazzy and mellow and another totally raw and party like - - their albums were definitely experiences in themselves, though this is a great introduction.

The compilation includes some cuts from the group when they were known as THE NITE LITERS, an ULTRA hardcorre funk outfit, and moves on through their 70's soul and funk and later Jazzier years... of course it includes their BIG hit K-Jee...
though I think one of the highest point's is Leslie's BAD-*ss Bobby Womack impression on I Can Understand It, only with a tighter booty shaking rhythm section than Bobby had (sorry Bobby... you're still the KING ! ! !)

Though there are a few tunes that definitely don't represent their BEST work... admittedly, because of the flowing trippy nature of their albums, perhaps it was hard to really frame a lot of their material as individual hits... still... lot's of great stuff on this album... and it definitely demonstrates their incredible versatility... One minute they can be funking out HARD... yet they could also do sweet and mellow soul better than anyone else (check out DREAM MERCHANT).

Video floats around of their appearance on SOUL TRAIN, but I pray that one day more footage will surface, they also had a great look... great rhythm section - - and some wonderfully produced hits... you could really LISTEN and trip out when listening to their albums !

Classic New Birth.......2006-04-21

This is the collection that is a 'must have' for any New Birth fan! Wildflower, It's Been a (such a) Long Time, and the best of all: Dream Merchant! Five Stars for Dream Merchant (a remake by the way - Jerry Butler did it first - but not best - no slight against Mr. Butler, I have his 'Greatest Hits' too!!) The price is right, get your copy!! Five stars!

Until it's time for you to go! Listen to these Jamz.......2006-03-23

Okay, I first heard the song "Until it's time for you to go!" on the Alabama A & M University radio station, they use the song to sign off for the R & B show. For like six months I've been trying to figure out who sang this song without any luck...and when I tried to sing it to people to see if they could tell me, the song didn't sound like the song at all. The last time I heard the song on the radio was December 05 and I've been sad...finally tonight 3/23/06 they played it...I almost tripped over my shoes trying to run into my bedroom to tape the song. After I taped the song I spent another 2 hours trying to find out who sang it! Low and behold it's the NEW BIRTH! Buy this CD cause that song is the Jam! UNTIL IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO GO is the best song on here in my opinion!

Old School my butt, we had the best sounds around........2003-07-02

This CD is the bomb, I takes me back to a time when partying didn't mean having to be strip searched to enter the party. If you've never heard of The New Birth before, this is a very good place to start. Songs like "Got To Get A Knutt", "K-jee" bring back such fun, happenin' times in my life. And lets not forget the orgasmic "It's Been Such A Long Time" among other songs on this CD. I didn't forget to mention "Dream Merchant","Wildflower or the other excellent tunes on this CD, if you want to know more about this CD, BUY YOUR OWN.

Though this is not the most recent Ray Charles box set collection, it may be the best. That's because it focuses on Ray's great growth in the 1950s, particularly his days with Atlantic Records. The set opens with Ray still in a Charles Brown, smooth-voice, mellow-piano mode, but in short order, he discovers his own identity. From the good time of "It Should Have Been Me" on disc one, though the orgiastic "What'd I Say, Parts 1 & 2" on disc three, the man they call "The Genius" rocks, rolls, raises the rafters, and sinks way down low with the blues. This box also features an excellent essay by the late music historian, Robert Palmer. --Robert Gordon

Customer Reviews:

A Beautiful Set.......2007-05-29

This boxed set is superbly packaged, CD 1 covers 1952 to 1954, CD 2 1954 to 1957 and CD 3 1957 to 1959. Theres a nice accompanying booklet which gives full credit to all the known musicians and there is a substantial written history of Ray Charles time at Atlantic records which must runs into thousand of words.

Jerry Wexler is quoted in these notes saying "In terms of purity and musical value, he cut his best sides for us. It was righteous roots music. It was intrinsically great music". So its no surprise that the music IS some of the best stuff Ray Charles ever did. A mixture of Rhythm and Blues, Jazz, Gospel and Blues that quite rightly is called the birth of soul.

Soul Starts Here!.......2006-06-08

Normally box sets are the audio equivalent of a Whitman's Sampler; there's a lot to choose from and you may not like everything in it, but that ain't this box set baby! Covering Brother Ray's tenure at Atlantic Records from 1952 to 1959 this box set encompasses most everything he recorded there and is pretty much the creation of soul music as we know it today. Here is Ray fusing R&B, gospel, swing, jazz, and pretty much anything else he put his fertile mind to. Listen to these recordings and it won't take long for you to figure out why Ray was called "the Genius." The tracks crackle with life and energy and thanks to the re-mastering they received they also don't crackle and pop like some of the older re-issues and re-releases. There's no guile and plenty of style here; there's also more recent re-releases of this material, but this packs in a whole lot more and is the superior collection if you ask me. If your foot isn't tapping and your fingers snapping then you don't have a pulse brother.

We Need a Sixth Star for Mr. Charles.......2005-12-31

Ray Charles was a musician free of genre or style. He could play Rock, R&B, Country, and Soul with equal talent and virtuosity. The fact that he was able to do this, coupled with his invention of Soul, is simply a miracle of modern popular music.

These recordings, marking the birth of Soul from the mind of the greatest musician in popular music, are to be cherished for the history the present. Every one of these recordings are evidence of the genius tht was Ray Charles. Some are quite simple in their arrangement, some vastly more intricate, yet every one expresses the powerful emotions that exude from the music and the man.

This collection is seminal in it's importance in recording the birth of a genre that founded the careers of some of our most important popular musicians. Aretha Franklin, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gay, The Pointer Sisters, Barry White, etc. The list could go on for pages, but I think the point is made.

This is the best box set ever made!.......2005-03-10

I have owned this box set for over 10 years now. I listen to all the time. I still get goosebumps everytime I hear the R&B that Ray defined. It covers the Atlantic time period where Ray finds his own and sets the goal for anyone and everyone to follow. You will never regret buying this set. I am buying another box set because I just know that I will burn the bits right off these. Can't live with out it!

Who Was Listening?.......2005-01-14

I was. I was just a kid, but there was a radio station, black-owned and black-operated, that played these songs. It was exciting and a little scary for me but not to be ignored. The mainstream stations played Sammy Kaye, Guy Lombardo, some Sinatra. The country stations, well, they played country music, some good and memorable, a lot not good. Times have changed several times over since then, but I can recall most of the songs on this great package. I can recite all of the best ones, but I invite you to buy it for yourself and listen. This is the essence of Ray Charles before he went exploring virtually every corner of the world of music which started in earnest after, well, "What'd I Say?". How great it must have been sitting in some fried chicken shack and listening to these tunes. It was a whole different time. But, darn, I was just a kid.

Memories Memories Memories.......2007-06-22

This 2 cd combined in one is terrifice. The first "Birth Day" is one of my all time favorite ones, because it's not too many albums where I would play it all the way through more than once. Man, now DC loved this group. Them & Parliament-Funkadelic got plenty of air play. When the BIrth Day came out, I was over a buddy of mines house, (I was 15)and his sister was cranking this. Songs like. "I Can Uncerstand It", "It's Time TO GO" "Got To Get A Knutt"/ and thier verion of "Stop Look & Listen" is off the chain. I like theirs better than the Stylistics. And that joint"You are what I am All about" That is one that Jr Mafia sampled with Notorious BIG ......Then "Been succh a long time" man oh man. IF your are into classic R&B, u gotta get this cd. You wont' be mad that you did.

New Birth Birth Day.......2007-05-08

I was very excited to finally find these albums on CD. This group is fairly obscure I think, but Birth Day has one of my all time favourite songs on it - Until It's Time For You To Go. The final vocals on this song by Londee Wiggins are simply mind-blowing! And again on the 2nd album - Wild Flower - is another classic with terrific vocals. The rest of this double album is standart Soul & Funk. This is a great deal just for the two songs I've alrready mentioned, but for any fan of 70s R&B this CD is well worth the money!

Amazing.......2006-07-01

I remember in college being turned on to this ALBUM yes album and good enough to want the CD in my collection. If you like funk you need this in your collection EXCELLENT.

2 of the BEST CD they did.......2005-01-01

All I can say, this group was a very Good/Tight Group. The music still sounds good today. I was a kid, like 5 when this came out, but I recall my mom and older cusins playing this music. It's sound great today. If you want to know what true soul / R&B should sound like listen to this CD. The gril in this group can hit some seriously high notes. I would like for someone to remake "Until it's time for you to go" You might have to change the beat, but keep the vocals they way they are!

grow up on new brith back in the 1960ths.......2004-07-22

they will the stars for a long time,it would real nice if all come back doa live show on music station like vh one or tv 13 for old time to let prople what music was really back there in the past till now. if you like me who likes real funk soul music,just dig it man i will say that rap made big but funk will never die.iam 54 of age i must say again funk is here to stay. from the god father of soul(james brown) brass construction,koolandthe gang,i still say that new brith will always the best in funk sound.so they get five stars. from bill chappel brooklyn ny.

Many gems and discoveries, but often more archival.......2006-03-22

Vol 1. 5 stars. Champion Jack Dupree, Professor Longhair, Archibald. Nice sampler of New Orleans (NO) piano styles that make it easy to understand where Fats Domino came from. Mainly piano, male vocal with drums distinctly in the back. Many include a sax or guitar as well. Styles draw heavily on boogie-woogie at the core and add distinctive syncopation and lilt that instantly signal NO. Mambos offer an extreme version of squinky NO rhythms. Several reach into cha-cha and ska territory. At the other end, blues and R&B provide the foundation. Professor Longhair's style is crisp, clean, creative, quintessential to NO. Archibald is simpler, more traditionally down-home R&B. Archibald has a fuller ensemble than Longhair or Dupree. [78:56]

Vol 2. Dave Bartholomew, Paul Gayten, Smiley Lewis. Fascinating mix of blues, traditional pop, Latin, swing, and boogie, with R&B all around the edges and interstices. The hidden link from swing to rock and roll clearly ran through this territory, but no jump blues here. Bartholomew evokes NO only through his use of small jazz combos that bring traditional jazz to mind as they play proto-R&B. He is the closest to traditional swing of the three. Gayten is the find here, the most ambitious, with the widest range of styles. He touches Ellington, second-line, traditional pop, and blues. He finds the combination of raw roots and traditional pop that opened the way to '50s R&B, doo wop, and ultimately soul. Lewis feels the closest to NO, perhaps because he uses the piano the most, because his vocalist is most like Fats Domino, or he captures the sui generis lilt more often than the others. That said, he is the bluesiest and rootsiest of the three. Stand-out: tr 13-Gayten: My rough and ready man (sexy torcher struts then scats through a swing blues) [70:44]

Vol. 3. Roy Brown, Fats Domino, Larry Darnell. Roy Brown is an integral part of the hidden link between swing and rock. He has an exceptionally mellow, velvety voice, but can shout 12-bar boogies and blues with the best of them. Fats Domino, as presented here, is mainly still finding his way to his signature style. His piano is getting there faster than he is, but hints pop up everywhere. Lilt I associate with NO is still in-progress here. Larry Darnell somehow embodies all the elements of the transition from swing to rock and roll with a strong voice and a tight, sophisticated, but low-key band. Standouts: tr 10-Brown: Please don't go (slow-tempered 12-bar blues with pleading piano, swaying charted horns, rough swing throughout). tr 21-Domino: Hey La Bas boogie (fast-rolling boogie; hot sax solo swings hard as Fats struts vocally in French). tr 24-Domino: Careless love (moderate pace, NO lilt, light and heavenly piano, standard song structure, and finally Fats's characteristic vocal style-he has arrived!) tr 27-Darnell: I'll get along somehow (effortlessly leaps from '30s swing singer to roots of R&B and doo-wop). [77:19]

Vol. 4. Chubby Newsome, Alma Monday, George Miller, Little Joe Gaines, Hose Owne Craven, James Locks, Erline Harris, Johnson Brothers Combo, Tommy Ridgely, Jewel King, Joe August. Music where swing, jazz, blues, boogie, and rock and roll slosh together without making firm distinctions. They mix and match in different ways on different tracks. A 12-bar blues structure dominates. Chord changes slip easily from boogie to rock and roll. Bands are still generally as tight as those in swing and jazz and lyrics are typically more adult than rock and roll. Generally tasty; generally without great distinction. Jewel King is the big find. She is fully in command of a tight band that can groove on its own and back up when she sings out. Joe August is at the other end-what is this novelty slinger doing here? Stand-outs: tr 18-Johnson Brothers Combo: Mellow woman blues (very cool rolling blues swing with precision indigo-jazzy horn charts, stride po). tr 22-Jewel King: I'll get by (light, quick, tight, sassy boogie-woogie).

Can You Dig It?.......2004-06-22

The New Birth was a collective of talented singers & musicians united in the name of soul. Much of their best music was recorded in the early 70's and their albums were listening experiences loaded with funky, soulful grooves, tight horns and powerful vocals. Their absolute best album, in my opinion, is 1975's BLIND BABY.

The instrumental title track starts with a crying baby accompanied by reverberating, sparse guitar, leading into the moody main groove with a heavy saxophone solo throughout. It sets the tone for the rest of the album with this incredibly soulful vibe. "Dream Merchant" and "Granddaddy", with Leslie
Wilson's gospel/James Brown influenced tenor, are the hits from this album but there's more great music here like "Forever" and "Why Did I", both led by the super-sweet soprano of Londee Wiggins. "Blind Man" and "I Remember Well" contain messages of positivity such as "Mama used to say half the truth is as bad as a lie". Deep.

Pretty much any New Birth album is a listening experience but BLIND BABY is deeply conceptual. In a word, this is Soul.

Also on this disc is COMIN' FROM ALL ENDS in it's entirety. It was released a year before BLIND BABY but has the same soulful vibe.

Order it, listen & get lost in this deep soul. Enjoy.

Great Listening Experience ! ! !.......2000-12-15

I have the vinyl version of BLIND BABY (The New Birth's first album for Buddah)... Let me tell you a bit about the New Birth. Their albums are overall listening experiences, deeply conceptual... masters of sweet soul and deep grooves. - -Elements of the Philly soul sound are there (actually most of the members were from Louisvile.) From track to track they take you on a journey... and groove deeper as they go on. They start out mellow and it gets funkier and funkier as the album progresses... Londie Wiggis vocals are schweeeeet... The tune "Grandaddy" has a great groove... the congas and slick bass line of "I Remember Well" do it for me (and the tune build really well ! ! ! )... by the time you're up to Blind Man things are bumping... and with only two tracks left, believe me, plenty of punches still to come, like the Jazzy groove they suddenly break out into on the next track. - - What I'm saying, this is one of those rare albums you listen to straight through and let go on. Its also one of those albums you listen to sitting back with your eyes closed dig the vibe, though you might slip on the turntable amidst a visit by a lady friend (etc.)... since it ain't the '70s anymore I won't even mention anything about the incense and herbal remedies.

If you're familiar with my other reviews, you probably know how I like to suggest similar listening. O.K. Here goes... I'm going to suggest something a bit venturous... Check out a Japanese group called ORIGINAL LOVE and a CD called SUNNY SIDE OF ORIGINAL LOVE.. think you'll dig 'em !

MUSR HAVE CD.......2001-09-19

EVERY CUT IS WORTH LISTENING TO OVER AND OVER.

Soul musicianship at its finest..........2001-08-26

New Birth was originally culled from five groups in the Louiseville, Kentucky music scene; The Niteliters, a savagely good funk band of rhythmic and 'horny' melodicism, singer Allen Frey, a quartet of male singers named the Now Sound, and a quartet of female voices entitled The Mint Juleps. They were discovered by Harvey Fuqua of the Moonglows, and over time (and some whitteling out of excessive members) became just one comprehensive and very good group, The New Birth. This compilation seeks to achieve, in its scope, to capture and display these fine musicians at their finest (and slightly harder) funk moments, and boy, what an ensemble of sounds! The element I have always admired of New Birth is how a mesh of talented individuals could come together and equally exhibit their individuality within a tight, musical atmosphere, both instrumentally and vocally. The opening title 'We're Back' is from an older Warner Bros lp released in 1982, and though is a solid funk/disco tune, thankfully the rest of the project focuses on their 1970's RCA/Buddah catalogue. 'I Can Understand It' sets of the tone of those times with the deadly rhythm work of Robin Russell on drums and the magnificence of Leslie Wilson on lead vocals. This rehash of Bobby Womack's original track breathes life and danceability, as well the perfect weaving of the very different vocal styles of the singers assembled, who make a fantastic backing chorus to support the lead vox and create the perfect tension for this six-minute climactic opus. Not only one to fare soul/funk tunes well, down-home groove talents are displayed on the slow-roll of 'Down and Dirty', 'Damn' and the now classic (and highly ifluential) 'Con-Funk-Shun'. The instrumentals mainly belong to one of the five Nite Liters albums released in the first past of the 70's, and after that group disbanded the remaining musicians combined with two vocalists became the New Birth. The singers in question were the aforementioned Allen Frey and Londee Wiggins, and at a later date they would also be joined by Michagin brothers Melvin and Leslie Wilson and Ann Bogan to share vocal duties. But more on that later :) 'Pretty Words don't mean a thing (lie to me)' featuring Tanita Gaines from the Mint Juleps on lead duties is a wonderful call-and-response slice of finger-wagging 'watch for him' brashness that definately makes its point clear. Ditto for 'One Way Bus' which also features Ms. Gaines. These two tracks possess big wholloping 60's style arrangements that are too irrestable to ignore. Next up is one of my slower-tempo personal favourites, 'Never Can Say Goodbye', a cover of the Jackson 5 track. New Birth always had a knack of outshining the original tunes, and this is no exception. Londee's naturally high girlish reaches and sighs create a perfect and timeless pop moment. On 'Patiently', a song she also co-wrote, her fragile delivery is gorgeous with an intro complete with wailing wind samples and the crisp clap of a snare, with back-up addlibs swirling around her voice as it quietly makes its way elsewhere. Than there is Ann Bogan; her focused wails and tart delivery on the self-penned 'Honey Bee' are just, well, awesome, you know? On the male front, Leslie pretty much headed most of the lead vocal duties, and his gospel inflected, vibrato rich honeyed sound adds the perfect resin to the blues of 'Lonely Room', the groove romp of 'Come and dream some paradise' and definately stands out on the shared vocal duties of the explosive 'Buck and the Preacher Man'. When Allen Frey gets his rare turn to deliver his versatile tone, he sure as hell does on the the same track as well as the incomporable 'I've got dreams to remember'. Pretty much this is a perfect compilation, and combined with its partner, 'The Very Best of the New Birth Inc. -Where Soul Meets Funk' makes for an excellent insight into the evolution of these talented groovers and their musical collaborations together in whateva hybrid was there at the time. A must have. (Props to A. Scott Galloway for an excellent accompanying essay as well).

SUGAFREE THE ORIGINAL POMONA PIMP!.......2006-09-06

My man Dazzie Dee,has probably made a west coast classic with this album.Forget Dr Dre,Snoop,Warren G etc,this album is far far better than anythung they have ever done.With my n****r Battlecat on production duties,you know you're going to get one hell of a good album.And one hell of a good album it certainly is!Pure G-Funk from start to finish.Peace,Love and Unity my cuz',you done did good homie!

Yeah Str8 Classic.......2005-06-16

Dazzie dee comes with a tight album produced by battlecat which should be a sign to you that this album will be something special. Its heavy all the way through with nice flows and classic westcoast flavour you can play loud in your ride day or night blazing or with eyes wide. I wish he came with another one like this but don't think it will be likely now. It also has the late west coast legend Mixmaster Spade who passed away sadly a few months ago, plus king T, ice cube, k-dee and toddy tee are featured. I recommend this to anyone that likes REAL westcoast and battlecat flavour, the music is deep and has a lot in it. Peace!
