I've been a DJ for over 30 years and I was mystified when this set was released five years after the 20th Anniversary Hall Of Fame box. This one adds nothing to the 20th set. I say skip this one and enjoy the ORIGINAL Soul Train box from 1994.

Many boxes consist of various songs by various artists usually mid level and chosen based on availability. The selections for this 3 CD set were chosen by Soul Train master Don Cornelious (sp?) and generally kept it to one song per artist. Although 7 inch single versions were generally used here,the variety and availability really shines. For example Disc 3 open with Micheal Jackson (Since when do you see a Micheal Jackson Epic release on ANY multi artist compilation < on another label even> ) The VERY NEXT song is from Prince,who to my knoledge has NEVER been an any other compilation befere (Except USA for Africa)

A wise investment!

I REALLY APPRECIATE THE MUSIC ON THIS C.D. SET....IT BRINGS THE PAST RIGHT INTO THE FUTURE, REMINDING THOSE THAT APPRECIATE R.B.-SOUL AND FUNK THAT "SOUL TRAIN" INTRODUCED US TO THE FACES THAT WENT ALONG WITH THE MUSIC.....AND THE DANCES THAT KEPT THE PACE OF THE FEELING EACH NOTE CONVEYED TO IT'S AUDIENCE.......THE SELECTIONS HERE...FROM MICHEAL JACKSON TO ARETHA FRANKLIN...TO EARTH WIND AND FIRE, CAPTIVATE THE TIMES.....THE ESSENCE.....I THINK THE SATURDAY MORNING OR THE FRIDAY NIGHT YOU PUT THIS C.D. ON YOU WILL GREATLY APPRECIATE EACH SELECTION......TRY IT! YOU'LL REMINISCE ALONG WITH EVERY SONG.

It bring me back to 70's.Old songs always make you feel so good.If you were a fan never miss it! Beautiful and nice packaged.
