Customer Reviews

What a boxed set for dance music lovers...ALMOST perfect...
This is truly an incredible collection, and you need not fear the quality. This is fully licensed material and is distributed by Sony Music. It's incredible that they've included some 12" versions that were actually FULL sides of a vinyl LP, running more than 15 minutes. I only have a couple of issues based on what I know about some of this original material. On disc 1, "Let It All blow" by Dazz Band is a minute shorter than on my original 12"!!! I can't figure out why they would edit one of the singles. I noticed the same thing with "Medicine Song" by Stephanie Mills...it's 20 seconds shorter than my original 12" (you can find the full 12" version on the CD "I Love Funky Disco"). And finally, although "twilight zone" by Manhattan transfer says it's the 12" version, this is the album length. The 12" version ran 30 seconds longer (believe it or not) and I've only seen it available on CD on an out-of-print CD called Atlantic Dance Classics. It's unfortunate that an almost flawless set of 12" singles on CD is, indeed, flawed. Track times are:

Superb Sound Quality
To Date This Is The Absolute Best Mastering Job I Have Heard Involving "Classics"!

Finally Someone Takes Quality Seriously. I Was So Impressed That I Emailed Me Liebrand To Congratulate Him.

A Very, Very Nice Box Set That Is Reasonably Priced And While I Am Not A Fan Of Every Song On Here (I Do Understand That Mr. Liebrand Has To Please A Large Audience) I Would Have Purchased It For The Following Rare Releases:

HARRY THUMANN - Underwater (6:01)

DAN HARTMAN - Vertigo / Relight My Fire (11:59)

COLONEL ABRAMS - Trapped (6:28)

T-CONNECTION - At Midnight (9:42)

SHARON REDD - Can You Handle It (8:58)

DAVID JOSEPH - You Can't Hide (Your Love From Me) (6:41)

SHARON BROWN - Specialize In Love (7:13)

JEAN CARN - Was That All It Was (6:31)

HUGH MASAKELA - Don't Go Lose It Baby (7:35)

PAUL HARDCASTLE - 19 (5:14)

THE BBQ BAND - On The Beat (5:55)

And Especially For: MACHO - I'm A Man (17:34)
And MARTIN CIRCUS - Disco Circus (14:02)

Not Only Do You Get Several Very Rare Releases But You Get Them In Actual CD Quality!
