I noticed that Disc Two contains alot of "modern remixes".I wonder how those sound?

I can tell you without even listening to them...

C.R.A.P.

I don't know...it could be interesting,as long as the DJs don't drastically change the songs.

SoulAlive said:

I agree. If they approach it like Verve does, by playing with diff. elements of the songs but not overdoing it, it could be cool.

Wheres Solid!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

SquirrelMeat said:

This compilation only focuses on the Warner Bros. years."Solid" (released in 1984) is from their Capitol period.

That comp is stiiiill
ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha hot

solid came out when they switched to capitol records in 1986

If I'm not mistaken, they recently acquired their WB catalog and own those masters.

I believe it. Back in the 70's & 80's, alot of us vibed on Ashford & Simpson performances. Matter of fact, I still have one of their albums in my collection in the basement. You can't go wrong with jams like: Found A Cure, Don't Cost You Nothing, Love Don't Make It Right, It Seems To Keep Me Hanging On, and Solid.

As a D.J., I allready have most of these mixes. To me this is a waste of money. Give me a "true" greatest hit package with rarities. Those rarities should be their versions of the songs that they had written for others. I would like to hear their version of "Let's get Stoned", or "Tears dry on their own.

I really like that song (in all its' cheesy glory).

Actually "Solid" came out in 1984.They signed to Capitol in the early 80s.

The clips I just heard on real.com and on iTunes, don't sound bad. It sounds like they stuck to the original arrangements.

Getting my copy today

Listening to it right now.Last week,they didn't have it at my local record store so I went out today and finally found a copy.I'm listening to Disc One.The packaging is SUPERB...nice,glossy photos,very informative essay and insightful comments from Nick and Valerie...they give their "review" of each remix.Interesting to read! I highly recommend this set.

"It Seems To Hang On"

onenitealone said:

Me too "Solid" is one their finest singles.I like the video too,where they're caught in a rainstorm and run into a nearby barn.Before you know it,the place is packed and they're performing a mini-concert,lol.

SoulAlive said:

Sorry - I just read this. I HAVE to watch it now.

"Don't Cost You Nothing"


I had forgotten how funky this jam was!!!! WOW!
