Notes by Ben Liebrand
CD 1 (The Funky Grooves)

1 Michael Jackson - BillyJean 6:25 (original 12" version)

Taken from the original analog production tape as originally issued. No pumped processing on this true master.

2 War - Galaxy 8:11

"To A Nuclear Blast And A Super Sonic Sound" It just doesn't get any better than this.

3 A Taste Of Honey-Boogie Oogie Oogie 5:34 (original 12" version)

Great Funky Bassline, Superb Funkyness from a time where you didn't just listen to music, you really experienced it!

4 Heatwave - Grooveline 7:29 (original 12" version)

The moment I heard that sequencer bass come in, I was hooked to it.

5 Chic - Le Freak 5:33 (original 12" version)

Rodgers & Edwards dressed to a T, ready to meet Grace Jones at the New Years Eve Party at Studio 54. They never made it as the doorman wouldn't let them in. Can you imagine that? Slushing back through the snow, good shoes ruined, they arrive back and instantly decide on writing their frustrations away. All the rage bundled in 2 words, "F*ck Off" followed a funky riff. Lucky for us that they changed it to "Freak Out" after all.

6 Jimmy BoHorne - Spank 6:59 (original 12" version)

Solid Pumpin' Disco. Wild edits and truly spankin' percussion. Hearing this is enough to remeber the exact pattern of the dancefloor under your feet at the time.

7 Peter Brown - They Only Come Out At Night 6:24 (original 12" version)

Linn-drum pumpin' along. Great syncopated break, but hell to mix out of...

8 Sister Sledge - He's The Greatest Dancer 6:05 (original 12" version)

A Rodgers & Edwards master piece which along with "We are family" restarted the early career of Sister Sledge. This track was also sampled in Will Smiths' "Gettin Jiggy Wit it".

9 Billy Ocean - Stay The Night 6:15 (original 12" version)

Even before Billy ocean became famous with a wide audience in the mid 80's he already showed what it took to get there with this solid piece of dance music.

10 Farley Jackmaster Funk - Love Can't Turn Around Suite 17:14 (Special Ben Liebrand Edit)

Adding the Club and the Dub mix, get ready for more than 17 minutes of Love Ca't Turn Around in supreme master quality.
