CD Reviews

YES, the fully licensed original mixes are on here!!!

"No matter where I read reviews of this series, everyone failed to mention if the original recordings were included-it sounds as if this DJ Spinna guy remixes all these songs-it says "mixed by DJ Spinna" on every disc! Couldn't be anymore confusing.



I have no opinion on the continuous remix disc, but the two UN-beatmixed discs are the complete original recordings. You are going to find some real rare treats here, like the original cut of Dee Dee Sharp's "Easy Money." Even Eddie Kendrick's "Girl You Need a Change of Mind" is the full length version, not the "part 1" used on his greatest hits CD. A real gem for collectors, I'd get this while you can.

"the mixed cd was off the hindges (mr. spinna proves he's got the goods in his crates and on the wheels).. the unmixed cd's hold those same tracks in their entirety and are excellent for you to mix at your next party (if you dare)."
