"This tryptich is well worth spending your money on. It is a great compilation of the finest and styliest music that was en vogue in the 70 s and 80 s. I bought this one because I actually have most of the songs on the other two, and because I wanted to listen to the "Nights over Egypt" song performed in its original version (Incognito has done its own version in its latest "No time like the future"). You will also find one of the greatest songs from the Ohio Players (one of the emblematic bands of what I call "heavy funk", playing it cool here), a great song from the late Minnie Ripperton, two extraordinary tracks from Rodney Franklin (Howard Smith on vocals sounding just like Al Jarreau) and Ronnie Laws. Plus the mythical "the lady wants to know", from one of Michael Franks's best albums. The sleeve reminds the "I want you" (Marvin Gaye), and there is a lot of interesting information inside the booklet.If you like soft sounds, high quality things that were done 20 years ago, these three albums are for you and will help you to discover or rediscover artists and sounds from that period."

A great investment!!!

"I have the first three volumes, but this is by far the best. I have had it in my car since the first day, and it has been in my cd player every day since then!!! I can not get enough of this cd, it is well worth the money."
