Once again Hi-Bias goes the extra mile by issuing a number of favorite and rare 12" versions in the best sound yet. All songs have been digitally remastered from the original source masters using their trademark 'Aural Submission' process. The results are incredible!!!Who would believe that Kool & The Gang's "Celebration" was released in 1980 by listening to this release? This song has been played to death and should have been presented in it's original 12" version. Instead, we get the standard LP version. However, this LP version has never sounded better!Newcleus' "Jam On It" sounds like it has been recorded in the last year with it's underlying bass and punchy drums. It is easily one of the best-sounding 80's tracks I've ever heard. AMAZING! We finally get the "Long Mix" of Yaz's "Don't Go" from the original tapes here! I've been waiting for this! Again, it shows no age in terms of sound.So why is Devo's "Whip It" here as a bonus track? It's quite laughable really when glancing at the back of the case. That is, until you place the CD in your player and skip ahead to track 12! Some buyers may cringe at the addition of this track since it never had a 12", but wait until you hear it in it's original album version! You'll probably forgive Hi-Bias for issuing a high quality master!I highly recommend this volume in addition to the other releases from Hi-Bias Canada! The only reason for the 4 star rating is the inclusion of LP versions over 12" versions when 12" versions exist. Of course, the lack of some 12" versions could be the result of missing master tapes in which the LP version became the substitute. If such is the case then it should have been stated in the liner notes. In any case, buy this for the sound alone!
