Customer Reviews

2 rare Giorgio Moroder productions on CD, and SO much more!
12" dance collectors rejoice. Ben Liebrand has assembled a 3rd volume loaded with full length mixes, tediously mastered (some from vinyl because he couldn't find the original masters, but you really can't tell). Personally, 2 songs that make it extremely worth the price for this 4 disc set for me are the Giorgio Moroder productions: Suzi Lane, and the 12" version of Janis Ian from the Foxes soundtrack. There are also NUMEROUS hard to get 12" versions finally here on CD. Still so many more elusive mixes for Liebrand to include on future volumes, and I hope he'll take note of the request list on his website.

Notes and nitpicks are below:


CD 1

1 Robert Palmer You're in my System (Extended Album Mix) 06:00 (very rare on CD!)
2 André Cymone - The Dance Electric 05:35
3 Chas Jankel - Glad To Know You 06:37
4 Suzi Lane - Harmony 06:59 (want the ENTIRE moroder produced album on CD, but this is a start!)
5 Chaplin Band- Madmen's Discoteque 06:30
6 Janis Ian-Fly Too High 06:51 (awesome. Didn't even know there was a 12" version of this track which has only appeared on vinyl in its SHORT version!)
7 Rah Band - Slide 06:39
8 The Real Thing-Can You Feel The Force 07:39
9 Anita Ward - Ring My Bell 08:12
10 Boys Town Gang- Cruisin' The Streets 13:14 (wow. The full length LP side)

CD 2

1 Positive Force - We Got The Funk 04:31
2 Lakeside - Fantastic Voyage 06:12
3 Cheryl Lynn - Shake It Up Tonight 05:42
4 Colonel Abrams - I'm Not Gonne Let You 06:47 (too common on CD. Space could have been used for another rarity)
5 Crown Heights Affair -You Gave Me Love 05:52
6 Rose Royce - R.R. Express 12:01
7 Jerry Knight - Overnight Sensation 06:30
8 M.F.S.B.- Love Is The Message 11:33
9 Edwin Starr - Contact 07:15
10 Earth, Wind & Fire - Boogie Wonderland 08:16 (nice 12" rarity on CD)

CD 3

1 The Reddings - The Awakening Pt1+2 03:32
2 Earth,Wind & Fire - fantasy (Blaze shelter dj mix) 08:57 (this is a very indulgent version, somewhat remixed and way too long)
3 Trussel - Love Injection 07:53
4 Gene Chandler - get down 08:18 (HOT to have this 12" on CD!)
5 Billy Ocean - Are You Ready 06:46 (HUH? This song barely cracked the Billboard dance charts, and there are so many other Billy songs that were bigger)
6 Dynasty - I don't wanna be a freak 07:23
7 Herbie Hancock - Tell Everybody 07:50
8 Shalamar - Right In The Socket 06:42
9 Third World - Now That We've Found Love 08:16 (wow. This version is even longer than the 12" version I have)
10 The Commodores - Brickhouse (live) 10:26 (WHY??? A live version of an already overplayed song that can be found in its full length studio version on numerous CDs??? 10 wasted minutes of CD space)

CD 4

1 Imagination - Body Talk 06:00
2 Fern Kinney - Groove Me (long version) 08:54
3 One Way with Al Hudson - You Can Do It 07:03
4 David Bowie - Let's Dance 07:39 (another waste of space. There really isn't a 12" version of this song. This is the full length album version which is easily obtainable on Bowie's CD)
5 Fox The Fox - Precious Little Diamond 07:27
6 Fun Fun-Happy Station (original 12") 07:16
7 Tavares - Heaven (Irresistable Angel Mix) 08:35 (2 minutes longer than the original version, but this is DRASTICALLY remixed. It even includes some obnoxious astronaut voice overs at the beginning)
8 Liaison Dangereuses - Los Ninos del Parque 05:01
9 Talk Talk-It's a Shame 07:01 (this is the overseas 12" version. The US mix (which I prefer) runs 6:22)
10 Faithless - Salva Mea (Epic Mix) 11:52 (oddly out of place, considering this volume doesn't include ANY other songs from the 1990s. But still a goodie)

Good, but not as good as Vol 1 and 2
I really like this series of CDs from Ben Liebrand. They are in the whole superb. However, i didnt feel that this release was as good as the previous two. Some tracks, as has been said in other reviews, you can easily pick up elsewhere. Just a note, a lot of the tracks on here are Ben's Favourites so we cant really complain. Overall, I would give it 4 and a half stars, so you'll have to make do with 5!!

Awesome . . .
a must for the Disco/House lovers. Brings back memories of U.S. Studio/The Warehouse: 206 South Jefferson, Chicago!!!
