Customer Reviews:
I WANT TO THANK YOU.......2003-05-24
if it were not for this disc I would have never found a copy of Alicia Meyer's doing I Want to Thank You I instantly became a fan of the series and brought the othert two to add to the collection I suggest when you have old friends over and want a quick game of remember when pop in these CD's and relive some great memories again
the golden days of dance.... again!.......2002-05-06
First, get all 3 volumes, put 'em on your multi-disc cd player, then let these dancefloor gems do their thaaang... Can be played at a bbq on Memorial Day, July 4, Labour Day, etc... or while you're playing Twister (tangled up in a pretzel position while trying to grab that Bacardi & Coke that's waaaay on the other side of the mat ;) whatever... you get the idea. Your cooler friends will scream and shout when their favorite joints get those memories flooding back.
More than five stars.........2000-06-24
Anyone who has experienced the club scene (especially NYC) in the late 70's and early 80's must get this CD POST HASTE! I'm sitting here right now taking a trip down memory lane. The compilation of songs is PERFECT. That rarely happens. All of the selections are not only awesome but arranged well in their order. I seriously urge anyone who was growing up through that period (and enjoyed it) or who is curious about the club music to get this CD. Make no mistake, club/house music has a totally different flavor than your garden variety "disco".

Good Set.......2001-05-27
before Burning Cd's became all the rage these kind of Compilations were very essential in that they had a few songs that you had to have."Let's Groove""Call Me" are just some of the songs that make this a cool Satuarday Night Party Set.if you just want your standard Radio Hits then this is for you.

Customer Reviews:
A Very Smooth CD!.......2002-03-23
The CD has great music from back in the 80's when music was in the 12 inch vinyl LP (album) days. You will enjoy the music and the reasons why I bought this CD. This CD reminds me of roller skating birthday/after school parties at the roller rink back in day during the break dancing era of the 80's. I like all of the three 12" remixes of "Sanctified Lady" by Marvin Gaye, "Centipede" by Rebbie Jackson, and "Wake Up Everybody" by Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes. This CD will bring back memories if you ever host an 80's party in the future. It will keep the old schoolers dancing in the Soul Train Line when they hear "Ain't Gonna Hurt Nobody" by Brick, "Back in Stride" by Maze featuring Frankie Beverly. This CD is smooth when you hear the other late disco songs by Ashford & Simpson, Chaka Khan, Three Degrees, Isley Brothers, and my favorite jazz artist George Duke with "Shine On". This CD is a must buy.

US Marines stormed the pop charts.......2005-04-30
The Essex were originally formed by a group of marines who were still in active service when they had their biggest hit, Easier said than done, which gave them an American number one hit in 1963. The single also became a minor UK hit although Britain was already gripped by Beatle mania, which hadn't yet crossed the Atlantic. The follow-up single, A walking miracle, nearly made the American top ten but missed the UK charts completely - however, this song eventually made the UK top ten in the seventies via a cover by Limmie and the family cooking. Their singles chart history ended with the minor American hit, She's got everything.
The main appeal of the Essex was that they always appeared in full military uniform. Another unusual aspect was the racially mixed composition of the group - a rarity in 1963 - with a female lead singer (Anita Humes) and three harmony vocalists (Walter Vickers who also played guitar, Rodney Taylor who also played drums, Billie Hill). A fifth member, Rudolph Johnson (vocals, guitar), was posted to a location that forced him to leave the group after completion of the group's first album.
This compilation contains their hits and a selection of tracks from their two albums as well as failed singles and B-sides. Most of the material is original although they recorded a fine cover of Be my baby (Ronettes). Among the failed singles, Don't fight it baby and Just for the boy are particularly noteworthy but by the time of their 1964 release, the Beatles had captured the attention of America and nobody was interested in the Essex any more. Furthermore, once they had secured discharges from the marines, they no longer appeared in uniform and some of their distinctive identity was lost.
If you enjoy girl group music of the early sixties, you will surely love this although the Essex were not a girl group themselves.
Great Lead Singer, Great Sound Quality.......1998-09-23
The lead singer (Anita Humes) had a very smooth and powerful voice for belting out early sixties doo-wop. "Easier Said Than Done" was their big hit in the early sixties. The rest of the songs on this CD are not just filler material. Almost all of the other songs are well done. Most of these songs were recorded in the 1963-64 time frame. Especially noteworthy is the sound quality on this CD. All songs (except tract 8) are in flawless true stereo suggesting they came from master tapes recorded at a state of the art recording studio. These could have been recorded yesterday. Track listing is as follows:
(1) Easier Said Than Done (2) Whenever I Need My Baby (3) Where Is He (4) Every Night (5) I Love Her (6) Come On To My Party (7) A Walkin' Miracle (8) She's Got Everything (9) More Than It Would Help (10) Marriage Licenses (11) In My dreams (12) You Talk Too Much (13) There's No Fool Like A Young Fool (14) Where Theres A Will (15) Make Him Feel Like A Man (16) Don't Fight It Baby (17) When Somethin's Hard To Get (18) Just For The Boy (19) I'm Making It Over (20) Everybody's Got You (21) Be My baby (22) Be Sure (23) When The Music Stops (24) Real True Lover

GREAT ALBUM,SONGS, AND DONE BY GREAT ARTISTS!!!!.......2004-09-20
THIS IS A GREAT ALBUM AND A MUST HAVE FOR ANYONE WHO LIKES INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC. I LIKE THIS ALBUM . IT IS DONE BY SOME GREAT ARTISTS, SOME GREAT SONGS, AND IT IS VERY INSPIRING. AND THIS AN ALBUM THAT WOULD MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD. MY FAVORITES ON HERE ARE: YOU BROUGHT THE SUNSHINE, RISN' TO THE TOP, OOH-CHILD, KEEP YOUR HEAD TO THE SKY, I WANT TO THANK YOU, RECHING FOR THE SKY, AND BACK IN STRIDE. IT MAINLY CONTAINS SOME GOSPEL MUSIC BUT IT HAS A FEW R&B SONGS ON HERE. BUT THE R&B SONGS BLEND IN WELL WITH THE GOSPEL SONGS BECAUSE THEY GIVE THE SAME MESSAGE.
