BIG IP and NUFF RESPECK to RETRORESPECK.......2005-07-12

I love Marcia Griffiths and I am always looking out for something new from her. This version of Special Occassion is the best lover's rock I have heard from her in years! The other songs are good , too even though I initially bought it for the Marcia songs, I also like Rock Me, Searched For Love, and Here I Am Baby, and Stoned Love. I had never heard of Karma Faith before, but I am definitely going to look out for more stuff by her! It's about time there were some new female reggae singers

Respect for RetroRespeck !.......2005-01-10

I bought the 50 First Dates soundtrack because I love the Waynie Wonder cover of Thompson Twins 80s hit "Hold Me Now" and got the RetroRespeck CD as a double feature. Very nice...they are keeping up the good work from the Skasmatic CD I really enjoyed and got a while ago. The quality of production is tops and I can't get "Pata Pata" by Marcia Griffiths out of my head !! "Special Occasion" by Marcia is great also and Chrisinti's Searched For Love showcases him well. Nuff Respeck for a hot CD !

Great disk!.......2004-11-16

Most of the time the original sounds way better than any sing-over tunes, but this is an exception. All of the songs sound good. My friend was gonna burn me a copy, but I wanted my own because of what the artwork said, nuff respect to retrorespeck. I am now a fan!

GREAT FOR MARCIA GRIFFITHS FANS.......2004-11-15

I grew up on Electric Boogie and I am glad to hear something else by Marcia Griffith- that alone was worth the $12.99! ALso like Fiona, Maurice, Karma, and Evette alot, but the best is Jack Radics. Is that his real voice? I let my Uncle from Jamaica hear it and he loves it because he loves old soul music. Jamaican singers are always doing over popular american songs, but he says this one is definitely one of the best. I gave the site address so he could get his own copy!

Better than the rest.......2004-10-10

THis is the best cover of reggae songs I have ever heard! Marica Griffiths version of pata pata is the best since the electric slide song. THis is ALL good songs- no boring or dead air on this cd. I never heard of some of these singers, but they are really good especially Evette Here I Am Baby, Dennis Malcolm When She was My Girl, and YahBreeze Rock Me. Reminds me of englishi reggae like Maxi Priest, etc.
