Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Perfect beats are a must have collection.......2004-09-17

I have bought all 4 volumes and I must say it is the most comprehensive compilation of hard to find dance tracks from back in the day. If it wasn't for this compilation, a lot of those timeless hits would be scattered in obscurity leaving the nostalgic among us trying to remember "what was that song again?" But with this volume you have all the hits of that time together in one place...

well worth the money

4 out of 5 stars Nice collection, but wrong mixes.......2000-04-29

A good selection of underground dance sounds from the early 80s, but you can't really relive that clubbing experience with these short mixes. Who ever danced to to a 3:46 version of Dirty Talk? At least this collection does the honest thing and lists all cuts and lengths on the CD. A great driving CD for the car if you've become too busy or lazy to make your own tapes from your old 12" EPs.

5 out of 5 stars Essential for fans of any kind of dance music.......1999-10-27

This is really a wonderful album, a testament to the strength of early house, electro, freestyle and hiphop. These are all familiar sounds to anyone who spent the better half of their youth in an urban nightclub setting. If anything, these pieces have all matured rather gracefully, and as a soundtrack to the summer, only the most stodgy rock and roll fan would have to turn this down.
