Dansa turned me on to this a few years ago. Womack & Womack's "Baby I'm Scared Of You" is worth the price of the entire set. | |

Then you'll love this album(where its originally from)... 
I might be mistaken, but I think he mixed the whole album  although if you want to hear some REAL kick ass Laven mixes, you might wanna check Gwen Guthrie's 1st 2 albums(which were produced by Sly Robbie). | |

I bought this set when it was released several years ago.It's fantastic! I especially like the songs "Why Leave Us Alone" and "Love Has Come Around",rare jams that don't usually appear on compilations. | |

To be honest, I bought that album on the strength of Taana Gardner and Janice McClain,,,,,I've been on the run to look for that Janice track since forever  | |

"You Can't Hide Your Love From Me" by David Joseph is another cool track.It's from 1983 but I don't remember hearing it back then.Must have been an underground hit. | |

One thing I don't like on this CD....
the 1984 remix of Sister Sledge's "Lost In Music".I never really liked 80s remixes of songs from the 70s. | |

But I think his remixes are different from your typical 'busy/overproduced' 80s remixes,,,,I can't quite put my hands on it, they always sound fresh, considering. My FAVE Larry Levan remixed project is this btw...  [Edited 11/24/09 2:54am] | |

[Edited 11/24/09 2:54am] His remix of i Level's "Give Me" gives it a certain coolness "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." | |

The one I have is 'downloaded',,,,,Gwen's albums are VERY hard to find(and the ones in mint condition cost a HANDFUL) but that 'remix' project is damn near buried in some goldmine somewhere 
Where the hell did you find it? [Edited 11/24/09 16:03pm] | |

Where the hell did you find it? Second-hand from an ex-DJ. This copy is actually in very skanky condition, but it's my favorite too.  | |
