Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Amazing!.......2007-04-25

This is my favorite comp of soul slathering 60s dance shakers! The lyrics crack me up and the hits are classics in their own demented way. Songs about welfare cheese! Awesome

5 out of 5 stars You'll get 'Whiplash' 'Shakin' yer 'Wang Dand Dula'!.......2002-01-09

... but you'll love every minute of it! I have owned a copy of this disc, in one form or another (it was originally a vinyl release with many fewer songs), since 1990 and I'm gettin' another CD to put in a hermetically sealed, radio-active proof, sub-terranian capsule (along with CD player and batteries), so there'll always be a copy around to play! I am not one for compilations and own very few of them but this is the exception to make. I'm not sure what to compare it to and perhaps that exercise is pointless anyway. Suffice it to say it's pure unadulterated slabs of kick @ss rock 'n soul! Some of the songs are really funny, some dated, some just wail hard, but none are really bad, no duds in the bunch and there are over 28 of 'em! How can you go wrong for [price]?!

5 out of 5 stars It Rocks, It Rolls, It really gets down!.......2000-10-05

What we have here is a collection of Hard Core R&B from places like Chicago and Detroit, Rocking Rhythm and Blues of the type not heard since the 60's and not likely to appear on your Drive Time Gold Radio Station. The Five Du Tones "Chicken Astronaut" is funny and it rocks, "Welfare Cheese" by Emmanuel Laskey is a topical tune that still has meaning today, and all of it gets the groove on without a slowie in sight. An archeological record of what R&B and Soul sounded like before everything got all smoothed out and watered down. I really think you will like this!
