What can I say? I'm a compilation junkie.
Most Disappointing Comp (only one):
1) Dr. Bob Jones presents: The Funk Connection (La Pazza International/IRMA)
What really pissed me off about this comp is that he duplicated two songs
(Jestofunk - For Your Precious Love and National Rare Groove - Talking to
you) from the excellent Stop and Listen Volume 1 on BBE (which he compiled
himself!).. I think it is extremely bad taste to duplicate songs from one of
your own comps.. I mean, it's not like there's a lack of good music to
include, and I was impressed by Stop and Listen Volume 1, so I thought I'd
give this a try (I now read over the track lists before impulsively buying
comps these days). It seems almost as if it was compiled by some jackass
who picked a bunch of songs he thought Bob Jones would like, and then just
stuck his name on the front of it.
