CD Reviews

Great Collection of Nina's RCA years!

Jason H. Luckett | Culver City, CA United States | 07/03/2001

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Only real downside for this collection is that the liner notes are weak. Very little info. A lot of this stuff is on the Sugar In My Bowl 2 disc collection, which flows better and seems more important (but costs more, though every web store besides amazon sells DJ Specialist for $30+???). The sound is good for the most part, but you know when Nina's covering the Bee Gees it's not the most essential music. I just wish RCA would release the original albums on disc because there's a great "live" album called Black Gold which contains a rewrite of Black is the Color which is one of the most amazing things I've ever heard."
