3.0 out of 5 stars True Fans Know Why, November 11, 2003

This review is from: Firecrackers: Best of (Audio CD)

Mass Production style of music stood out. This collection capture your interest but does not keep your attention. The attention grabbers are not included on this CD. Examples: (Groove Me, Just wanna make dreams come true,and Love You) just to name a few. When I associate hits with Mass Production, Those are the songs that cross my mind. This is not a bad selection of songs but I don't think it represents the best of Mass Production.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mass Production not served well with this compilation, November 3, 2003

I discovered Mass Production in the summer of 1977. While the compilation has a few choice cuts from the band, there is a big black hole where their best stuff should have been on this CD. "Believe" and "Three Miles High" contain the best of Mass Production and no tracks from those two albums, their second and third album, are on Firecrackers. There is hope; look for a CD store, Aris out of Grand Rapids, MI. I am using their service to get those two albums burned to disc.

3.0 out of 5 stars Under Ground FUNK!, December 15, 2002

This review is from: Firecrackers: Best of (Audio CD)

Mass Production is one of the most underrated Funk bands of that late 70's/early 80's period, this cd only does them 3 star justice. Atlantic/Rhino put some of there best on this cd (Firecracker,Wine-Flow Disco, Welcome To Our World, Can't You See I'm Fired Up), But left off some of there best cuts(Slow Bump, Groove Me, Free And Happy, Sky High, Eyeballin, People Get Up, Watch Me Do It) which would of made this a five star funk BLAZER!
