A Collector's R&B Dream: 1968 Vol. 1

CD-Charts > Music > Compilations
from: Warpath Records

Release Date November 13, 2007
The first reviewer of this CD called it absolutely fabulous, and I can attest to the fact that this CD is indeed absolutely fabulous. What makes this CD so great is not only the music selections, but it features the B sides (45 records) of the greatest soul songs of 1968. Where can you find Part 2 of the song, "Tighten Up?" Only here. Many of these B side compositions have been unavailable since their initial releases. All of these compositions have been re-mastered, and I must say sound better than the original. I was a 14 years old child living in south Philly in the summer of '68 when these songs were current, and I remember hearing all of them, even the B sides on WDAS. So, to hear them again was quite nostalgic. This is a must purchase ... Read More:

Phat Trax: The Best of Old School, Vol. 7

Release Date March 18, 1997
I got this disc for one song, the uncut, full length version of "Boogie Wonderland" by Earth, Wind and Fire (with the Emotions). The rest of the disc is good - but "Boogie Wonderlan" is in a class by itself!! Five stars!!

A Tribute to Curtis Mayfield

CD-Charts > Music > Compilations
by: Various Artists

Release Date February 22, 1994
A TRIBUTE TO CURTIS MAYFIELD RECORDED BY VARIOUS ARITISTS PAYING TRIBUTE TO MR. MAYFIELD.SOME OF THE SONGS DONE BY THE ARTISTS ARE REALLY GOOD. SUCH AS THE ONES SUNG BY GLADYS KNIGHT, WHITNEY HOUSTON, TEVIN CAMPBELL, ARETHA FRANKLIN, PHIL COLLINS, ELTON JOHN, ARE REALLY THE GOOD ONES. ESPECIALLY "KEEP ON PUSHING" RECORDED BY TEVIN CAMPBELL! THAT'S MY "BOY"! HE CAN PERFORM ANYTHING THAT COMES HIS WAY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ONE WHEN YOU JUST WANT TO HEAR DIFFERENT ARTISTS AT ONE TIME ON THE SAME CD. ON A SCALE OF 1-5 I RATE IT A 4. NOT BAD AT ALL.

The CD features well known and unknown neo soul artists. It's refreshing hearing music that goes beyond the "regular" music heard on typical radio stations. I started listening to neo soul via internet a couple of years ago and have been hooked ever since! Try 'em all!

The Funk Box

CD-Charts > Music > Compilations
by: Various Artists - R&B/Soul - Funk

Release Date November 21, 2000
This is what's missing from most of todays sterilized corporate driven music. Its fun. Its on the edge. Its raw. But its addictively fun. You can hear James Brown directing the band in the middle of the songs with his usuall flare. You can hear musicians trying different riffs. You can be sure most tracks were recorded with a full band playing at once, getting into and changing their own groove. You can't help but move to the great baseline and rythyms. Its got that special electricity that you just don't find in most modern music. Great Great collection.

Playlist Plus: Motown 50th Anniversary

CD-Charts > Music > Compilations
by: Various Artists

Release Date April 29, 2008
I think we can all agree that the Motown label has produced some of the most timeless and incredible singles in the history of music. This collection packs 40 songs onto 3 CD's for about 25 bucks, leaving a LOT of room on each disc for more songs.

Now, what if I were to tell you that you could get 104 songs (that's 64 more songs, folks) on 4 CD's that includes everything here (except for "Reflections" and "Going to a Go-Go") for ONLY a few bucks more?

Exactly!! Go for the "Hitsville USA: The Motown Singles Collection 1959-1971" for about $31 on Amazon. If you're strapped there is also "Motown Classics: Gold" which also collects 40 classics on 2 packed CD's for 10-15 bucks LESS than this collection. Stay away from the "Playlist Plus" ... Read More:
