Customer Reviews

Second time around is a charm
OK! This volume isn't as tight as the first one but it's every bit as
enjoyable. There are grand moments on volume 2 that can stand among the best moments on Volume one. "Hit and Run" is the centerpeice of the set where Loaetta Halloway booming vocals tear through 11 minutes of a funky guitar driven groove. "Love for the sake of love" is a great slow burner (which is also the DNA for Montell Jordan's hit "Get it on Tonight"). "Nice and Nasty" is one of sleaziest dance songs ever recorded. Even if the lyrics are somewhat tame compared to what Rick James and Prince put out a few years later, the sexy melody and its even sexier beat is enough to get couples juiced up on the dance floor.

That being said there are some less than great moments on this disc. "Everyman" has a tight philly groove, but its bogged down by its overbearingly preachy lyrics on manhood. "A night to Remember" and "Janice" might be a bit too zippy for some (especially those who prefer a slower pace where the strings and basslines can really thrive in the songs). With 18 long tracks across 2 dics, those inferior tracks are easy to ignore.

Hey I can't give it all away. You gotta buy this album if you're a serious fan of dance.
