A huge collection of work from
Crown Heights Affair – a group who were famously labelmates of Kool & The Gang in the late 70s, where they recorded an equally great run of funky grooves! As with K&TG,
Crown Heights started out with a harder funky edge, then big-upped their size and started going more for the dancefloor – yet still working with all the sharp musicianship and deft rhythms that they learned at the start – making them way different than some of the prepackaged studio-based acts of the disco generation! You can definitely hear that evolution here – as the set begins with a number of cuts from the group's original album on RCA, which has never been reissued before – the moves into the best of their De-Lite years, including some rare singles next to album tracks too. The 3CD set features 42 tracks in all – and titles include "You Can't Bend My Super Rod", "Streaking", "Dancin (12" disco mix)", "Leave The Kids Alone", "Sex Trip", "Do It The French Way", "Music Is The World", "Dreaming A Dream", "Every Beat Of My Heart", "Galaxy Of Love", "Dance Lady Dance", "Super Rod", "Foxy Lady", "You Gave Me Love", "Let Me Ride On The Wave Of Your Love", "Love Rip Off", "Somebody Tell Me What To Do", "Rock The World", "Struck Gold", "The Rock Is Hot", "Come Fly With Me", "Dream World", and "Sure Shot".
