One of the best by far is "Bag of Goodies", it's their best selling
comp of all time and the reason is that it's great...Very
acid/soul-jazz/funk.
It's much better than "The Best of Luv 'N Haight" which I would avoid.
If you like more straight ahead Weldon Irvine's "Music is the Key" is
really nice chill out music.
And, finally, if you're into funky jazz guitar Wes Montgomery style
check out Ivan Boogaloo Joe Jones' "Sweetback". It's awesome.
