Chock another one up to the bookstore. While I've been eying The Gap Band's Gold collection for a bit now, a 2-CD collection mainly of single edits that does a good job of anthologizing the group's career, this one looked too cool to pass up. Admittedly, it's more a supplement than an entry point, but it's a nice collection of 12" and album-length versions of some of The Gap Band's biggest hits. The opening 13+ minute mix of "You Dropped a Bomb on Me" is stunningly good, and the disc maintains a level of quality that shows the care The Gap Band put into their 12" mixes. A recommended addition to any Gap Band collection, or anyone who appreciates good, funky 12" mixes from the 1980s.
Tracks:
1. You Dropped a Bomb on Me (original 12" version)
2. Burn Rubber (Why You Wanna Hurt Me)
3. Early in the Morning (original 12" mix)
4. Party Train (original 12" special dance mix)
5. Outstanding (original 12" mix)
6. I Don't You Want to Get Up and Dance (Oops!)
7. Shake (original 12" disco version)
8. Humpin'
