Funk soldiers--I need help with Cameo! I know I might lose my funk card for this, but is what is the best starting point for me getting into Cameo? I just need a comp or album that can introduce me to the band's talent and I mean, way before Candy and Word Up!. Can anyone help me please? Check me out and add me on:

If you want to start off with a compilation, you could go with this one,
If you want to start with actual albums, I suggest going for Cardiac Arrest, Ugly Ego and Cameosis Hope that helps  On the Org since 2005.

Agreed on Gold (it was previously released as the 2-disc Anthology)
Album-wise, I think Cameosis might be the best start if you don't plan to start at the very beginning. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

Personally I'd say Cameosis but any pick out of the Casablanca period could be a good starter album. | |

Cameosis is a good place to start, but you should get the album that came before that one for the full intro to Cameo "Secret Omen", that's the album with "I Just Want To Be" on it. It's the perfect album to show you what Cameo's sound was like in the late 70's, while giving you a preview what was to come in the early 80's IMO. | |

Agreed. Anything regarding thier tenure with "Chocolate City" is a must have. | |

I need to pick up a few of their early albums too. | |
