This review is from: Big 12 Inches: So Excited (Audio CD)

One of the best volumes in the series, this one is loaded with familiar tracks. My only real complaint is the 3 minute version of Rock the Boat, a song available in this length on numerous compilations. It seems out of place on a collection of 12" singles. Other volumes are called "Groovin You" and "more more more." Track times are:

1. I'm so excited (5:39)
2. strike it up (5:03)
3. love come down (6:14)
4. rock the boat (3:20)
5. say it isn't so (6:44)
6. cherchez la femme (5:46)
7. native new Yorker (5:31)
8. I'll be your pleasure (7:48)
9. you fooled me (5:35)
10. I'm in love (5:53)
11. leave a light on (13:29)
12. I can understand it (6:23)

4.0 out of 5 stars Good comp of RCA/related 12" singles, February 27, 2011

This review is from: Big 12 Inches: So Excited (Audio CD)

In 1999, RCA put out 3 CDs of 12" mixes of disco/dance songs ranging from the early '70's to the early '90's. I prefer the track list on the "Groovin' You" volume, but this one includes the "title" track from the Pointer Sisters, two excellent Evelyn "Champagne" King tracks, and a couple of nice surprises (meaning I hadn't heard them elsewhere): Esther Phillips' "I'll Be Your Pleasure" and Grey and Hanks' "You Fooled Me". It had to be too much for these comps to leave off seminal early hit "Rock the Boat" although it's only 3:20 long and 12-inch singles really didn't exist in 1974. Other standouts among the dozen songs here are Dr. Buzzard's "Cherchez La Femme" and personal favorite "Native New Yorker" by Odyssey.
