5.0 out of 5 stars Jewels from Frankie's Box of 12" Treasures, November 11, 2000

By	ROBERT H. (HOUSTON, TEXAS USA) - See all my reviews

While I liked the late 70s & early 80s stuff on the first CD in this mix collection, I thought the second CD was inspired. DJs should listen to this to escape the non-stop, relentless gallop that makes their mixes a bore. Frankie Knuckles seems to know how to program the later music from the 90s with all the expertise of a great maestro of the dance floor, plus it makes for fine listening on it's own. For those who like a slow burn groove and terrific vocals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Party Till You Drop, August 10, 2002

By	Reginald L. Davenport (Springville, UT United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What more can be said about Frankie Knuckles. Growing up in Chicago during the (radio station) WBMX era, Frankie's was a household name. This cd set further demonstrates how that was possible. Not only was the sequencing of the songs brilliant but the mixing was right on -- especially on Disc One (where he has the unenviable task of beat matching disco records: that usually involves live instruments). Old School Househeads will really enjoy this double set!

5.0 out of 5 stars Collection of Classics by Frankie Knuckles, April 17, 2002

By A Customer

Being a DJ myself and from the old school Chicago deep house/underground scene, I really enjoyed the 1st CDs compilation of classical underground music. I haven't heard anyone play this type of house since the mid 80s to early 90s. The 2nd CD is nice as well but I prefer the 1st. Its outstanding to see a Chicago DJ from that era capture the essence of that era and share it with world. I'd like to see Lil Louis, Terry Hunter, Ron Trent, Boo Williams, and Ron Carroll produce a mix of the classics similiar to this one to reflect their respective styles. I understand the music has evolved and I like the new underground/garage house the DJs are playing, but I would like to hear a vault of all the old school Chicago deep/underground house music.
