"I didn't like it once I reviewed the cuts on it. Glide is on it way to many times, and for all you real Pleasure fans you know there were a whole lot of other jams than just Glide. Don't get me wrong it was a nice cut but come on, three times? Anyway, I had the pleasure of meeting there former bassist Nathaniel Phillps 9 Aug 02 in Denver, Colorado playing with Jeff Lorber, was anybody there? Anyway I asked him was there any kind of way of getting any of the individual C.D.s other than the greatest hits stuff? And he said try Fantasy and RCA, they use to be the records labels they were under. I've tryed and there were no happenins. So help a brotha out if you find something out. By the way I have the "Best of Pleasure" it has a better selection than "The Greatest of Pleaure" C.D."

"I give this 4 stars cause it's pleasure. I've been a HUGE pleasure fan since I used to rock "lets dance" on the wheels back in the 70's. The "Accept no Substitute" (Ghetto of the mind, dance, etc) and "joyous" (title track, "let me be the one"...) are two of the best funk/jazz-yes I said jazz) lps recorded during the jazz/funk heyday. I have every pleasure joint on vinyl and I'll never let them go. Why the albums aren't available on CD is still a mystery to me. Nate philips is on jeff lorber's(another jazz/funk great) new philly joint. check it out."

Glide

"I grew up listening to this as a teenager, and the track "Glide" was, and still is the jam. As for the other cuts, I'm sure they are alright, but buying this album means having that one super funk classic in my archives, and that was worth the price. Glide gives off the feeling of cool urban modernity mixed with the hard funk groove that has somehow gotten lost in more recent styles of urban music.
