"Good selection from the vaults of TSR. All but the last 3 are the org. US 12" mixes. The last 2 seem to be misplaced on this CD. Weekend sounds like a rip-off of Paul Parker, Eastbound Expressway, with Kraftwerk on acid. Thankfully its short. Most of the songs come from Europe via the Record Shack label in England. The disc whould have received 5 stars if they whould have tossed out the last 2 fillers and placed the org. mix of "Stop". That tune had an incredble break not found here. Overall, great party tracks from mid-eighties. Another good sourse of this style is "Record Shack Presents" 1&2. Both have 2 discs of the same 80's style and full length. Well worth the money if able to find them."
Some of those hard to find 12" versions...

"Perfect collection of 80s hi-energy songs all in their 12" extended glory! A few of these extended mixes are not available anywhere else but on this disc. From the Sylvester-ish soul of Shawn Benson's "Secluded" to the quirky fun of Magazine 60's "Don Quichotte", you can't go wrong with this collection of fun NRG songs."
Just ok compilation

"i bought this for DON QUICHOTTE by magazine 60 and the classic SO MANY MEN SO LITTLE TIME by miguel brown if it was the 12''. but it sure wasnt the 12'' of WAKE UP by STOP .it was a horrible short version. CAPITOL TROPICAL by two man sound is good but i'm sure i have that on other compilations like this comp. like most of the rest of the songs."
