Party Tyme uses fake music.......2002-11-10
This brand uses synthesizers and drum machines instead of real guitars, horns, etc. Pretty bad stuff. I am a singer, not affiliated with any Karaoke vendor. I'm always looking for unique songs, and I demand good quality.

The Black-Teen Soundtrack of The Decade!.......2004-01-07
If you bought one soundtrack from the 90's it had to be the soundtrack of House Party! Not only was the film incredibly popular but the soundtrack produced the hits " Why You Getting Funky On Me ", also the theme of House Party from Kid n Play and hits from Public Enemy, The Jungle Boys and Full Force. This is one of the most entertaining albums of the 90's. If you're into old school rap and don't mind listening to songs from a bunch of people who don't perform anymore, get this album. It's even better than the movie.
HOuse party.......2003-06-11
sweetest album this album is bumping i seriously think the producer should consider making another movie for house Party 5 but with kid play in it and maybe imature the movies off the hook with kid' n play and martin lawrence and the soundtrack is to i very much recomend this R:B album.

Finger-clickin' genius.......2005-09-25
Dance Party kicks off with the timeless classic hit Dancing In The Street (turned down by Kim Weston) and also has Nowhere To Run and Wild One, along with their B-sides, both having already been big hit singles when the album came out in April 1965. One of these, There He Is (At My Door), dated from 1963, and was originally on the album Come And Get These Memories, but has a new vocal on this version. By 1965 Martha's Vandellas were Betty Kelly and Rosalind Ashford, both from Detroit.
Most of the album was co-produced by Mickey Stevenson, but three were Brian Holland and Lamont Dozier productions, including Nowhere To Run and their version of the Motown dance standard Mickey's Monkey, written for the Miracles. They had sung on Marvin Gaye's original version of Hitch Hike in September 1962, and their own version was held over from the same period. It completes the album in fine style, to make up a first rate dance party record in the true Motown idiom, full of finger-clicking rhythms, generous percussion and punchy horns and brass.
Watchout! was the follow-up album in 1966 and contains the hit songs Jimmy Mack (held over from 1964, it was to be remixed for single release in 1967) and I'm Ready For Love, which features the archetypal 1966 Motown sound with those great bass runs. What Am I Going To Do Without Your Love was also a single but had left the charts largely untroubled. On the other hand, Third Finger Left Hand, the B-side of Jimmy Mack and also rescued from a 1964 recording session, is a great Holland-Dozier-Holland song which went on to became a hit in its own right. It wasn't on the original album but is included on this double-length CD as a bonus track, along with two other previously unreleased stereo mixes. One Way Out is a true floor-filler and was to come out as a B-side the following year. There are more ballads than dance floor numbers on this record, including two songs written by Smokey Robinson. One is a total scorcher called No More Tearstained Make Up. This may have been considered as a single at one time as a longer alternative version appears as an extra track.
Missing from this (and the other albums in the series) are the non-album singles from this period, In My Lonely Room/A Tear For The Girl (1964); You've Been In Love Too Long/Love (Makes Me Do Foolish Things)(1965); and My Baby Loves Me/Never Leave Your Baby's Side (1966).
Two essential Martha and the Vandellas albums on one good value all-stereo CD (note though that the mono mixes of some of these tracks were slightly longer).
Their 2 best LP's on one disc!!.......2004-03-22
And leave it to the E.M.I. Studios to do the honors. Not only every righteous track from Dance Party and Watchout! are included, but also three bonus tracks. We have first time ever stereo mixes of Third Finger, Left Hand (B-side of Jimmy Mack), and the unreleased Can't Break the Habit, which appeared in the early 80's on a compilation L.P. entitled "Motown Superstars: The Unreleased Masters" or something. "No More Tearstained Makeup" from Watchout! is one my favorites. The lyrics (Smokey Robinson, of course) are so captivating the listener hangs on every word. Dance Party contains the three singles from their heady days of late 1964 to early 1965; Dancing in the Street, Wild One and Nowhere to Run. Obviously, the latter was the final run of "Can't Break The Habit", which sounds as if Martha becomes disinterested half way through. "Run" is far more consistant and soulful making its way into the national top ten. There He Is (At My Door) is a throwback to the track on Come And Get These Memories. The vocal was re-done and is stronger. (Collector's Note: The original version was recorded by the first incarnation of the Vandellas, The Vells with Gloria Williams singing lead. This group didn't last and Martha became the lead singer and the rest, as they say...) Watchout! contains two singles, proper: the less popular, but certainly ambitious What am I Going to do Without Your Love (Sylvia Moy, Mickey Stevenson)and Holland-Dozier-Holland tour de force, I'm Ready For Love, again a national top ten hit. Jimmy Mack, an album track of high degree, was re-mixed in an uptempo beat and released as a single the following year (1967). Perhaps the underdog on the album is the re-make of an earlier Kim Weston single, Go Ahead and Laugh. A true jazz ballad in the tradition of Love Makes Me Do Foolish Things, this is torch balladry at its best. These two albums have stood the test of time just as much as (dare I say it?) Rubber Soul and Pet Sounds. I don't mean they are as daring and innovative, but for these ladies, they are not to be missed. If you missed thier re-issue in the States in the 80's, don't miss them this time around.
The Vandellas at their Greatest.......2003-12-05
Well The Andantes may have been helping out numerous times by this point in The Vandellas Career , The Vandellas had their peak LP's with these two. What strikes me as odd is why Motown neglected to release "Can't Break the Habit" as the follow up to "Nowhere to Run"(although it isn't as lyrically interesting as it's proposed forebearer , and it does show Martha leading a softer side Vocally than Normal , but it's still an Irrisitable H-D-H Creation , "Where Did Our Love Go" wasn't all that Lyrically stimulating) It's somewhat odd that they didn't go with it as Motown normally gave the next single to the writers with the last big hit on the artist (Mickey Stevenson Ivy Joe Hunter and Clarence Paul came up with "You've Been In Love too Long"). "Dance Party is probably Motown's best Dance Album of the 60's (even if There He is (at My Door) is really out of step with the rest of the album) "Watchout!" is a real gem and it's mainly the Album Tracks that stand out. "Keep It Up" is delivered with such eerie sophistication...it's almost a Hitchocokian Thriller set to a James Jamerson bassline. Martha proves she was at ease with any rapidly changing arrangement as Dionne Warwick on "Happiness is Guaranteed" It's a wonder than "No More Tearstained Makeup" hasn't been snapped up and covered by someone within the last 35 years, it's the perfect pick yourself up tommorrows a better day song...I listen to it when I need that little lift of confidence . " Go Ahead and Laugh" is nearly identical to Kim Weston's 1964 b-side version execpt with strings added and Martha's fiery (verses Kim's Brooding) performance. Then comes " What am I gonna Do Without your Love" a mysterious exotic single that somehow stalled at #71 pop during the summer of 1966. and My favorite "He Doesn't Love Her anymore" possibly the best (and most overlooked) Triangle song , and it's presented here with a slighty folky guitar line...something of a suprise from the Motown act know for it's fire breating Soul Anthems. I recoomend both of these LP's on CD....Both more for "Watchout!" it's possibly the most Underrated Soul album of the 60's
"There'll be laughter, singin' and music swingin'...".......2003-10-04
These were the two best studio albums Martha & the Vandellas ever released. It's as simple as that.
`Dance Party' came first, as Gordy LP 915 on April 12, 1965 and fueled by the hits `Dancing In The Street,' `Wild One,' & `Nowhere To Run.' Their respective B-sides were no slouches, either: (respectively) `There He Is At My Door,' `Dancing Slow' & `Motoring.' The `cover' cuts here are fine, but the true fascination was the then-unknown material, `Dance Party,'`Nobody'll Care,' and particularly, `Mobile Lil The Dancing Witch' (some kind of `line' dance, I think, had to be suited to this one). With the exception of `Nowhere To Run' which is a Holland-Dozier-Holland production, the album was primarily produced by the boss Martha was originally a secretary to, William `Mickey' Stevenson. He knew his protégée well, and guided her through a project here each can take lasting pride in.
A `Greatest Hits' (a near-perfect one, at that) was next in May of 1966, and on November 16 came Gordy LP 920, `Watch Out.' Its only hit at that moment was `I'm Ready For Love.' Hard as it is to believe now, `Jimmy Mack' quietly waited its turn for over 10 weeks(!) to be unleashed as a 45 until February '67. Both songs are immortal now for the group and the other two H-D-H cuts included are winners too. `One Way Out' echoes back in its way to `Nowhere To Run,' but the fourth number was really different. `He Doesn't Love Her Anymore' rode the B-side of `I'm Ready For Love,' and has blues & jazz elements that are much more like `My Baby Loves Me' and `You've Been In Love Too Long' than the typical dance numbers H-D-H did on Martha. Her delivery on this heartbreak number is so sincere I'd bet she hasn't forgotten a single one of its lyrics today.
It's quite possible, what with producing the Temptations, the Marvelettes and his own group, the Miracles, Smokey Robinson was stretched very thin and busy in these mid-60s years. But two tracks on `Watch Out' certainly suggest there were great professional possibilities for he and Martha. `Keep It Up' is just what you'd might guess - Martha warning an abusive lover that her patience is running out, and she ain't playin'. But, `No More Tear-Stained Makeup' is truly the single that should have been. One of those pick-myself-up, start-over-again determination songs imbued with some of Smokey's cleverest rhymes, and Martha giving it the excellent reading it deserved. You GOTTA hear this one if you don't know it.
`Can't forget the Motor City,' Martha once sang. Don't worry, my dear Miss Reeves, with performances like these, you've seen to it that we never possibly could. Thank you.
Great sixties R+B dance music.......2002-10-28
Both of these albums were originally released in 1965, although two singles had been released in America in 1964. Dancing in the street was the first and it will forever be the song that Martha and the Vandellas are remembered for. It was a number two hit in America but missed the charts in Britain. Ayear later, it was re-released and reached number four.
The first album (Dance party) also includes the minor American hit Wild one (not released as a British single), and the mich bigger hit Nowhere to run (a minor British hit, but well known because it often appears on Motown compilations).
The second album (Watchout!) contains the hits Jimmy Mack and I'm ready for love. Both went top ten in America and top thirty in Britain. What am I gonna do without your love was a minor American hit.
The other songs are all interesting, entertaining and mostly upbeat. The three bonus tracks include Third finger left hand which was the B-side of Jimmy Mack but wasn't included on the original album.
If Martha can't make you get up and dance, who can?

The Melnor eight-way turret sprinkler is a great design for irregularly shaped, small- to medium-size lawn and garden spaces. This classic sprinkler is easy to operate and offers a choice of eight different spray settings to efficiently water nearly any space. Of course, for the youngsters, the most enticing features of this sprinkler are its low profile and all-plastic construction with no sharp edges, which makes it a safe sprinkler for running through to cool off on those hot summer days.

Could Have Been Named "Millennium 60's Soul AND Rock".......2004-03-16
All of this CDs songs got extensive airplay in the 1960s on not only Soul but also Rock stations. And I agree with prior Reviewers that the songs themselves are excellent.
I also own the CD in this series named "Millenium 60's Rock."
A Soul party.......2000-09-18
if you want Real Soul Music from The Orginal Founders this is it.you are not gonna hear Genius like this on Modern R&B.this is Classic Material that Covers So Many great Talents&how unlike TOday Everybody Here had their Own Idenity.all The Regions are Covered Here.this is Fantastic Musicianship&Talents.Motown,Staxx,&Other Areas are all Covered Here.this set Truly Feels Good.Where has The Music GOne?
Let's Hope There's a Volume II.......2000-07-27
When I first heard about this collection on TV, my first thought was, "Oh great, another knock-off compilation to cash in the the millenium hype!" Then the announcer mentioned it was from Rhino Records. Rhino has long been the preeminent reissue label in this country and they don't disappoint with this 55-minute soul music extravaganza.
From 1963's classic "Green Onions" by Booker T. & The M.G.'s to 1968's "Slip Away" by Clarence Carter, you are treated to some of soul music's high-water marks of the era. Seven of these singles sold more than a million copies apiece, and all but two of them went Top Ten. [The lone exceptions are Wilson Pickett's essential "In the Midnight Hour" and Brenton Wood's "Oogum Boogum Song." In the case of the latter, I would have rather seen his "Gimme Little Sign" which was his biggest hit--#9 in 1967, but that's a minor complaint against an otherwise flawless choice of songs.]
This is quite simply the best single-disc soul anthology on the market. Where else can you get so many terrific songs at this price? It's just one classic after another: "Sweet Soul Music," "Respect," "Soul Man," "(Sittin' On the) Dock of the Bay," "When a Man Loves a Woman"--if this were any better, it would be illegal.
The only problem is that with so many great songs available, you're left wanting more. In the Eighties, Rhino released an amazing anthology series of Sixties soul music called "Soul Shots" (now out of print). Let's hope "Millennium Soul Party" is only volume 1 of many, many more to come. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Sweet Soul Music.......2000-07-14
This is top knotch soul-lifting music - from the "Sweet Soul Music" of Arthur Conley (an homage to the Kings and Queens of Soul) to James Brown's enthusiastic anthem, "I Got You (I Feel Good)." This is the perfect intro to soul music classics and great for anyone starting a collection. Personal fave's include: The sweet "Oogum Boogum Song", "Green Onions" by Booker T. & The M.G.'s and the wonderful "You've Really Got A Hold On Me". A must for "Big Chill" fans.

The usual suspects from a collection of 1970s disco kitsch are here (the Village People, Silver Convention, KC & the Sunshine Band, Donna Summer, Sister Sledge, Kool & the Gang, the Jacksons) with few surprises or recordings that anyone remotely alive back in the day will not instantly recall. The two CDs are strangely packaged in die-cut paper cases inside a loose-leaf notebook that includes sheets of paper with disco-era food, drink, and clothing suggestions. It's an interesting idea, but not one that's pulled off with much thought or enthusiasm; the campy notes seem more like a dashed-off afterthought than anything else. It's a good gift idea for the person who has never heard much disco music or for those who lack the most basic disco records, but one wishes that more effort were put into an inspired song selection than the weird nostalgia served up in this package. --Mike McGonigal
Customer Reviews:
this is NOT PERFORMED BY THE VILLAGE PEOPLE.......1998-11-13
all other songs are sung by the familiar artists, but YMCA is NOT PERFORMED BY THE VILLAGE PEOPLE. Some woman I haven't heard of sings it, albeit somewhat satisfactorily.
