Great series comes to a rather uninteresting end

"Six volumes in this series, as well as the companion disc "Club Columbia" which started this series, gets you a load of 12" versions never before on CD. Unfortunately, this last volume in the series was really reaching, and lacks a lot of major tracks. Track list:



1. livin for the weekend (6:36)

2. k-jee (6:07)

3. funk boutique (3:50)

4. rhythm is gonna get you (7:04)

5. precious little diamond (6:48)

6. say it's gonna rain (6:45)

7. I'm your man (6:52)

8. down and counting (9:09)

9. helpless (4:51)

10. change of heart (7:53)

11. give me tonight (6:07)

12. pickin up pieces (4:37)"

Club Classics, Not Radio Hits

"Dan Kelly mentioned in his review that there were no major "hits" on this CD. This is not a rehash of the same tired selections on a dozen other compilations, but rather lesser known club classics. The selections span about eight to ten years and many of them are from the 80s, after the decline of "disco" and the emergence of dance clubs. The music changed and this is an accurate reflection of those times. I was a club DJ in the Boston area back then, and these are the songs the crowds were dancing to - maybe not in every club, but in the best clubs where the music was increasingly diverse.



I understand the "Club Epic" and "Club Columbia" series are out of print now. If you're an old school music lover and you can find these discs, buy them. They are some of the best CDs of the 70s and 80s ever produced."
