"tons of 80s soul/R&B 12" versions on CD
Chances are that the "disco giants" series masters its track list from vinyl, but you'd never know it. Each track is crystal clear, clean as a whistle, with not a hint of flaws that vinyl suffers from. IN other words, it's the closest you'll get to master quality and way beyond anything you'd be able to do burning your own vinyl to CD. Some of these tracks have appeared on CD from masters on other compilations, but for those 12" mixes you've never seen on CD before, this is worth getting until a release that uses real masters--IF that ever happens. My only question is why they opted for some non-12" versions, when each disc has about 20 minutes of space free. Track list:
