I can't wait! Man, I hope the extended mix of "Disrespect" finally makes it to CD!

I have all of these Gap albums and one of the Y&P albums, so I don't really see anything of interest to me. I vaguely remember a video from Switch being played on Video Soul. The Gap Band supposedly made an album pre-Total Experience called Mama's Boys, but I've seen no evidence of it. If it exists, I'd rather see that released.

I have been hoping & praying that someone would get their hands on the Pennye Ford album

& that switch album is another must have for me

BBR will do justice to these reissue im sure

That Penny(e) Ford album is exceptional! I'm ecstatic that it's finally being released on compact disc!
