Customer Reviews:

Second time around is a charm .......2007-01-04

OK! This volume isn't as tight as the first one but it's every bit as
enjoyable. There are grand moments on volume 2 that can stand among the best moments on Volume one. "Hit and Run" is the centerpeice of the set where Loaetta Halloway booming vocals tear through 11 minutes of a funky guitar driven groove. "Love for the sake of love" is a great slow burner (which is also the DNA for Montell Jordan's hit "Get it on Tonight"). "Nice and Nasty" is one of sleaziest dance songs ever recorded. Even if the lyrics are somewhat tame compared to what Rick James and Prince put out a few years later, the sexy melody and its even sexier beat is enough to get couples juiced up on the dance floor.

That being said there are some less than great moments on this disc. "Everyman" has a tight philly groove, but its bogged down by its overbearingly preachy lyrics on manhood. "A night to Remember" and "Janice" might be a bit too zippy for some (especially those who prefer a slower pace where the strings and basslines can really thrive in the songs). With 18 long tracks across 2 dics, those inferior tracks are easy to ignore.

Hey I can't give it all away. You gotta buy this album if you're a serious fan of dance.

Customer Reviews:

Free love and soul! .......2006-11-18

Thought disco music was full of cheese and watered down repetition, this anthology will change your mind. People give props to the Saturday Night Fever sountrack and Chic for creating the best disco music. While their music was successful from a commercial and at times a creative standpoint, it doesn't sum up the whole story of the genre. If the Bee Gees and Chic had the mainstream on lock, Salsoul records is the other side of the coin. Their music ruled the underground disco scene. Even though their songs frequently had the sleek gloss of their commercial counterparts, their music often had a tough edge because the beats thumped extra hard- and the rhythms were deeply ehanced to its maximum volume to put dancers in a trance while they're listening to the songs (listen to Ten Percent and Dancin and Prancin to know what I'm talking about).

The strings and synthesizers are extra loud. Those elements may sound overblowned and bland in the hands of unimaginative musicians, the musicians at Salsoul were innovative enough to give the music that visceral punch that was often missing from the commercial artists.

Unlike New Jack Swing and dance pop of the 80's, this music holds up well and deserve to be any serious music collection.

All In Their Original Full Length Version!!!.......2005-04-15

Every one of these tracks is an absolute gem. All in their original versions!!! And now I've got Volume 2. And who the h*** cares if there's a 2 second delay between 'em. Duh!!!!!

UnMixed Collection = Unhappy Customer.......2004-08-19

Though the tracks on this CD are fine, I was not happy with the product. Each track has a 2-second delay in between... so the music does not seque into each other. Not at all what I was expecting.

Music you should be listening to.......2004-03-28

I absolutely love this collection!!! I was familiar with almost all of the songs included, but I wanted to get a compilation that has all of these in one place. This is an unmixed compilation. There are nine songs on each disc. Almost all of them are full-length. Some are 4 to 5 minutes long. While others are 6 to 10 minutes. Also, there is a good set of liner notes with more info about the songs. In the UK, the label has reissued the 18 songs included in the collection on 12" vinyl. More are on the way.

Many of these songs might be familiar if you are into neo-disco, and house music. I'll mention some of my favorites. Loleatta Holloway's "Dreamin" is here in the Norman Harris/Carl Parulo Mix. Some of you might remember the Satoshi Tomiie remixes that came out of this track. This is quite similar to that one. Carol Williams' "Love Is You", is a perfect piece of classic disco. By the way, this song is the basis for Spiller's international smash "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)". This song should have had more success. The highlight of this collection is Loleatta Holloway's "Love Sensation." This is one of the most successful tracks on the Salsoul label. Loleatta's voice is simply amazing! This song has been the basis of countless club hits. "Good Vibrations" by Marky Mark, "Ride On Time" by Black Box, and 'you Got Me Burning Up" by Cevin Fisher are just some of the songs that have used this monster vocal. Just for this song, the collection is worth it. Also, there is "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Inner Life. This is the same song that Diana Ross did too. This is one of the first versions of the song. This is also the best one.

All in all, this collection is worth every cent. Bring out the polyester clothes, the mirrorball, and those platform shoes! This collection brings the disco era into your home.

It's a must-have for everybody!

Can't wait for volumes 2, 3, and 4!!

Customer Reviews:

a great cd.......2002-01-27

this is the first salsoul gold master in a series of three. this This the best one. all the songs are terriffic. true you get the salsoul hustle on Salsouls greatest hits but not the extended version! then you have the dance a little bit closer by charo. at first hearing it might sound corny but after a few plays its very hypnotic. then you get the smaller talents that are not on the Salsoul classics 1-4. The best on here are Dance a litle bit closer, helplessly, Falling in love, Love is finally comin' my way. The others are unreleased versions you already have if you got the Salsoul classics 1-4. My least favorite is love is you.

Not Good.......2004-02-13

Even though the sound quality is good, there is only 8 track on the cd, which by my standards, isn't many!

Salsoul in 12" format!.......2003-03-04

Am I glad I bought this one! A previously unreleased rare gem by the great Loleatta Holloway, "I May Not Be There" in a glorious 10:21 minutes. Besides that cut, 4 others were either previously unavailable or unissued. And as the CD title says, in their 12" format. A must have!

a good collection.......2001-12-23

the second collection was better than the first. the second cd has better songs on it plus it had unissued tracks. these three sets are basibally thev same as origional salsoul classics 1-4. in my opinion, the best on this set are: when your x wanrts you back, block party, i mat not be there and hold your horses.

Non of this short version non sense..........2003-02-17

Salsoul, one of the popular disco records 'back in the day' assembled a great series with the full-length versions of all your favorite disco gems, worth the purchase. I bought the CD for only two songs, but found the others to be just a good. The album kicks off with 'Love Sensation' (8:36) (Previously unreleased version), By Loleatta Holloway (A favorite of mine). Next in line, we have 'Magic Bird of Fire' (8:04), by the Salsoul Orchestra, 'First Time Around' (7:30), by Skyy, 'Stop Holdin' Back' (8:10), (Previously unissued) by Surface, 'Double Crossed' (10:03), (Previously unreleased version), by First Choice, (another favorite of mine), 'As Long As You Love Me' (5:35), by Sparkle, and last, 'Summertime Lovin' (8:47), by Steve Arrington. If your searching for those classic disco hits in their full cuts, buy this CD (and others in the series), and let your self loose.
