WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
VARIOUS: ‘Dance Mix, Dance Hits‘ LP (Epic EPC 25564)
Froggy got lumbered with a fairly unsympathetic if not downright duff set of tracks to cobble together into a mixer — “D” Train ‘Music’ acappella intro into ‘Keep Giving Me Love’/Forrest ‘Feel The Need’/(this the best mix) Steve Shelto ‘Don’t You Give Your Love Away’/Michael Jackson ‘Wanna Be’ — OK individually, so far, but side two is Mtume ‘Juicy Fruit’/Johnny Dynell ‘Jam Hot’/Gladys Knight ‘Overtime’/George Duke ‘Reach Out’/Band AKA ‘Men Of The Music’. Froggy does his best, adding some doubled-up echo ‘n stuff, but the whole thing’s a compromise.
