WHAT THE D.J. NEWS INSERT HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE MEGAMIX ON THIS RELEASE:
Here's a great dance-oriented compilation of 20 of the great songs which Solar has released over the past seven years. Dick Griffey started the label as an acronym for "Sound Of Los Angeles Records", and after a stint via RCA's distribution, Solar is now with Elektra. Produced largely by Leon Sylvers, with Dick as exec producer, Solar developed into the modern-day Motown with a tight group of professionals creating some of today's finest r&b music. The "S.O.S. III" (the record pool's namesake, or, Surgeons Of Sound when they're doing special mixes) have done a great job at showcasing seven years of hits into one very danceable set. Robert F. Gregory, head of the S.O.S. Pool, has been a professional D.J. for nine years. Jose Nunez has been playing for four years at various NY area clubs, and specializes in editing. Fernando Fernandez, the third of The III, has been spinning for eight years and currently plays at Lismar. Gabriel Posada engineered on an eight track machine to get some of those nice special effects. Enjoy!
