I totally agree with Mistermaxx and Music Fan on this release. This CD was released as a "Special Market" project from the PolyGram Group. I am quite surprised at the price of it also. All 16 tracks are the original album releases and were recorded way before their "Ladies Night" with ex-lead singer J.T. years. This is Kool And The Gang at their Funky/Jazzy best. This is a must have in your "Old School" collection.

If it's classic Kool you seek--i.e., pre-Celebration--this is a top-notch collection. It's unbelievable that all this funk is on one album for under seven bucks...and it's one of the few recordings you'll find of "Soul Vibration," arguably one of the best classic funk cuts out there. This one's a must; you won't be disappointed.

THIS Is THE Side Of Kool&The Gang that a True FUNK-HEAD Can Get Down with.The GRooves Never Let Up.The Horns are Slammin.THE FUNK Never Lets Up here.Before KOOL&THE GANG Got Polished in the 80's they Were RAW&FUNKY here.A Must Have.

THE BEST of Kool & the Gang's pre-"Celebration" work, gets it down, gets it on - this stuff set the 70's music mood - fantastic album! The edition listed here is a fine Polygram re-release on the REBOUND label and the sound couldn't be any better. It is NOT an import - the actual disc says "manufactured in the USA". Take a look at the customer photos we added to clear up this last point. You don't have to look for the European or Japanese remastered imports - just look for the right label! THIS IS THE ONE!
