5.0 out of 5 stars TOO FUNKY! ONE OF THE BEST OF ITS ERA!, February 9, 2000

If you were into real music(remember when you slept with your radio on?)then you definately remember this release. This one has all the hits(HITS! NOT THE RAP SAMPLED COPIES)we all jammed to in '85. "I'll be good", "Save your love(for #1), "No How-No Way", "You Don't have to cry", and the incomporable "Your Smile". This is still one of my top three favorite albums today. From a group you still wish was making music but situation problems made it otherwise. Polygram reissued this album in the FUNK ESSENTIALS series with all of the HARD TO FIND 12" REMIXES which black radio jammed on the air. Pick this one up! You won't be dissappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars R & A's Best !, June 16, 2003

Back in '85, at age 15, even then I knew this was hot stuff ! To this day this awesome collection of synthesized-dance, electro- funk tracks and soulful seductive ballads was one of the best albums this duo produced. In fact it was their last effort together both as a team and for the Mercury label...

Simply hypnotic and the kind of tunes that will stay in your head (for all the good reasons of course)! I still play this cd to this day and especially during the summer...Anyone who owns/owned this title on cassette and then the re-mastered cd will realize that a few tracks have been "instrumentally and musically enhanced"(re-mixed,re-engineered ?) or are alternates than what was on the cassette. Then, the cd offers a greater nostalgic value by also including the out of print extended or dance re-mixes...the cassette versions were a little more bland. Still, this is one of my all time favorite R&B titles from the 80's. A definite must-keep...

After all these years A Street Called Desire still holds its own pretty well !

As a club DJ in the 80's, I was priveledged to listen to the 12" remixes for many years. Now they are all on one CD. If you liked 80's soul, then this is a must have for your collection. I still jam to Kurtis Blow's rap touch to "Save Your Love"

Awesome CD!
