this double collection has quite a few familar names and songs on here from Earth, wind and fire, lisa,lisa and the cult jam, the Whispers, but then there are other jams on here that you hardly see or hear on general dance compilations and that is what make any compilation interesting and good for the ear. always trying to find out that rare jam that didn't get over played back in the day. this multi set has a good balance and blend of jams that work and will keep a Crib full of Heads Bopping well into the night.

At a time when MTV had to be coerced to play black artists (i.e. Michael Jackson), Many songs received minimal airplay and thus met minimal success. If you want an 80's compilation album of the hits, this album is not for you. If you want a rare finds when black music was primarily quarantined to the AM dial. this is a goodie, although it breaks into the 90's, and not all the tunes qualify as 80's groove. I likes!!

This is yet another compilation series that although has a good concept falls short. They do this by not giving us the "full" versions of all the songs.

On this release, only 15% of the tracks are actually full-length versions; the rest are either short 'radio' versions or they purposely cut them short just so they can fit more songs on each disc. This to me is inexcusable - I suspect they do the same with their other compilations.

Unless you don't mind edited versions of these classic tunes, my advice is to look elsewhere. I recommend the "Hed Kandi: Back to Love" series, the "Retro:Active" series, and the"Grand 12 Inches" series...

Glad was able to find certain music that's not in print anymore. Good mixture of music.
