Rare single by Bam and the Soulsonic Force off the Beat Street soundtrack.

A great 80s groove track, with a sound reminiscent of Arrington's best work with Slave, with a pumping midtempo groove.

Doobie-doo doobie-doo! One of the catchiest Roy Ayers dancefloor tracks ever – a bassy bumping thumper that wonderfully skirts the line between clubby and funky! The track's got female vocals singing along with the hook – all in a mode that's quite similar to the most uptempo work by Ramp – and the tune may well be best known for it's famous sample use by Tribe Called Quest on their classic "Description Of A Fool"!

Bass heavy funk from the Brothers Johnson and Quincy Jones. This track was the heavier b-side to their "Strawberry Letter 23" single, but is issued here as a double a-side promo, and while not as completely sublime as that track, it's a mighty commercial funk groove in its own right!

Mixed by Jim Burgess.

Features the amazing non-LP b-side "Can-I-Bust" that's got all the energy of the tracks from the "Soul By The Pound" LP and even better vocals plus a dope, rare, appearance by Twilight Tone aka Y-Not with this three-mansions-and-a-yacht rhyming style. Plus a nice and mellow remix of "Soul By The Pound".

Akiyele revisits the same territory as his hit, "Put It In Your Mouth".

"I'm Still #1" Numero Uno Re-recording features all new lyrics, this time naming who "ain't down with BDP."

Later stuff from the JBs and James, but still pretty good! "If You Don't Give" is a remake of an earlier track, done here with slightly more modern production.
