Without 'Zoom' 'Act Like You Know' and 'Teach Me How To Love' how can this be called a 'Greatest Hits' disc?

This is definately not a complete Greatest Hits collection from Fat Larry's Band. Most of your favorite songs are here but you're missing 'Zoom' and the totally awesome 'Act Like Ya Know'. Like I said, this is a solid release, but not amazing by any means. Pick it up if your a completionist.

One of the greatest car going to the shore records of all time (Zoom) is no where to be found on here and you have the nerve to call this a greatest Hits.......TAKE THIS OFF THE MARKET

Known to music historians as an obscure disco band from the late '70s, Larry James or Fat Larry and his band, was a talented drummer and songwriter who put out a few notables titles on this 1995 compilation. "Lookin' for Love" is a dance-floor shuffler in the style of Heatwave's "The Groove Line" while "Here Comes the Sun" is a personal R & B/dance favorite that sounds incredibly crisp on CD for the first time. When this title was available at brick and mortar stores, the CD was rather expensive due to it being affiliated with an independent label and distributor. It was rare to find this compilation used, but I was fortunate to find a sealed copy on Amazon Marketplace for a reasonable price. I rated this CD low not because it was a terrible compilation, but that the only songs I knew were the ones listed in this review.

This greatest hits CD doesn't have Zoom. How can you not have Zoom? and it's not as Disco as the other CD such as:Best of

Muy buen compilado en el que los temas no tan conocidos terminan siendo los más exquisitos e interesantes, en cuanto a los arreglos y la ejecución. Fat Larry Band tiene un lugar muy bien ganado en medio de una época tan brillante para los que gustamos de los sonidos de los 70. No lo duden, un muy lindo disco.

I can't believe "Zoom" is not on this album. The words Greatest Hits should be removed from this album. Purchase "The Best of" instead of this one.

Fat Larry's Band Slams on this Set.Grooves Upon Grooves.this Compilation has a good Mixture of Uptempo Grooves&Smoothed out Jams.Worth A Checking into.with so Much Talent from back in the day alot of Great Talent Got almost Forgotten.but you have to check this out.
