and freestyle finesse are all clear on undisputed classics like
"Nobody Beats the Biz ", "Vapors" , and "Make the Music with Your
Mouth, Biz." The package also includes never before seen photography
by George Dubose. This fun and funky career retrospective
succeeds in giving credit where it is due and truely proves to be the
Ultimate Diabolical . Don't sleep, after all, the Biz never does...
