Title: Not "truncated" versions of the hits--these ARE the hits!
Review: I'm tired of reading about how this compilation sucks because the songs have been "edited" or cut off in the middle. That is simply NOT TRUE. When you see a JB tune with "part one" after the title, that just means you've got the hit single version. Back in the day JB recorded the long versions solely so he could cull 2-3 minute singles from them. Sometimes the track was split into part one and part two--or the A side of the 45 and the B side (or in the case of "Make it Funky" spread over two singles in a part one, part two, part three, and part four). Most often, however, the entire track was NEVER MEANT TO BE RELEASED.This cd comp is a collection of "hit singles," not a dip into the vaults as most JB cds of the past couple of decades have been. Now I'd never give up my cds with the long versions--I love 'em--but it is also cool to have a cd of the Hit 45 versions.
Is the review positive or negative?
