A really cool collection of cuts with an unlikely history – as most of these numbers originally came out on dance instruction
records, but stand alone very nicely on their own! Frank Hatchett's
records were issued in small amounts to an equally small and focused audience – but as with the famous Gus Giordano
records from the generation before, they used all sorts of cool funk, jazz, and soul elements in the mix – sometimes more down to earth styles, sometimes a bit more electro or boogie-oriented – which means that these cuts have some surprising street and club appeal too! The original albums had a succession of short cuts in random order, but this very cool package brings together all the best cuts from those sets in one very nice compilation – with titles that include "We Supply", "A Message From Kenya", "Malibu Nites", "Music Is The Answer", "Which Way Is Up", "Dance Crazy", "Holly Rock", "Just Dance", "Break Out", "Wishing On A Star", "
Sam's Tune", "6/
8", "and "For The Lover In You".
