ANYONE who thinks they understand disco from its early days will be pleasantly surprised when they hear this compilation. Future generations o DJs will still learn from this master who achieved cult status and was known as a DJs DJ. This collection is a must-have for any serious collector of early disco music outside of the Saturday Night Fever stuff; this is truly how it was back in New York City during the mid-70s.

This is an amazing collection of soulful, funky and intelligent disco - but don't that word scare you off - it's all fun and great. While people seem to know all the big (and yes, often dumb) pop disco athemns, these funky, soulful and smart tracks seems to have been forgotten. There are some real gems here and in fact, put most of the modern day "classic house" tracks to shame. Basically, these modern tracks with their fancy drum machines cannot hope to touch the soul and vocals on many tracks and of course, the real instrument playing to drive the funky beats.

If you love classic & deep house music - you'll definitely want to hear these in all their glory - the sound quality is great and you can see the tracks the new guys are trying to emulate.

An amazing amalgam of disco, soul and gospel, this music has transcended its time - although it's immediately identifiable as 70s - and now sounds visionary. It can be a little hysterical, but the 3 discs are helpfully entitled The Madness Begins, The Madness Continues... and Total Insanity... By the time you get to Cellophane's Super Queen you may want to shriek like the banshee on the track. This is very mood-specific music.

ThIS Walter Gibbons CD"Mixed With Love Salsoul Anthology" is on POINT for Sure. I'm VERY PLEASE with the Selections on this CD...Personal Favorite is First Choice "Let No Man Put Asunder". Great Selection of MUSIC to have in My Collection. RJ
