A very poor collection

"The track listing on this 3 CD is very impressive. I played the CD as soon as it arrived - and was dismayed at what I heard. Some of the tracks are re-recordings - but there is no indication either on the CD or the packaging that this is likely to be the case. Listening to the tracks by Sylvester for example, it is definitely Sylvester singing - but where has this track come from? Sadly the wonderful Sylvester died over 10 years' ago, so it's not a new recording. If you don't know the original recordings - then this set is absolutely fine. But if you are like me, and expect perfection and the original recordings and the original artists - you'll be disappointed with this set."

"Great price for three CDS if quantity is what you are looking for. Quality of the music is OK to Good on most tracks....although all the songs seem to be strong on vocals and a bit austere on music. Also, I think all the tracks are covers by artists with sound-alike names (i.e. "I Will Survive" by Gloria GAYGIRL) with the possible exception of Sylvester and Hazel Dean. If on the other hand, if one is looking for a selection of 80s-era disco beat tracks to play in the background at the next pool party this summer, this box set will do just fine."
