voted 'angel in my pocket' -- could be almost anything tho -- the cher is a serious sleeper. dont forget that shalamar either, total banger

hard to explain how important this mix is to me

― K DEF FROM REAL LIVE (deej), Monday, 22 December 2008 09:55 (seventeen years ago)

the change record is an 8/10 record that becomes 10/10 because it is set up so well by "Let Yourself Go" so I voted for "Let Yourself Go"

strut albums seem to go out of print pretty fast. im glad my cd is worth so much now though.

The T Connection one is the one that I play the most at house parties...

― J@cob, Monday, 22 December 2008 20:54 (seventeen years ago)

Oh god, don't do this to me.

― Eric H., Monday, 22 December 2008 20:59 (seventeen years ago)

The Damon Harris is the real sleeper on this one for me.

― Eric H., Monday, 22 December 2008 21:00 (seventeen years ago)

(Apparently I should really consider selling this.)

― Eric H., Monday, 22 December 2008 21:01 (seventeen years ago)

VG- who wants it?

― Fox Force Five Punchline (sexyDancer), Monday, 22 December 2008 22:21 (seventeen years ago)

mines like G-- ; i mean the cds are fine but the sleeve has been in my backpack and gone travelling w/ me so many times it looks like ive been folding it in half when packing

― K DEF FROM REAL LIVE (deej), Monday, 22 December 2008 23:21 (seventeen years ago)

Mine's probably still VG. The black stuff's starting to peel away a little.

― Eric H., Monday, 22 December 2008 23:25 (seventeen years ago)

hope this gets at least one vote
5. Smack Dab In The Middle - Janice McClain

― K DEF FROM REAL LIVE (deej), Monday, 22 December 2008 23:56 (seventeen years ago)

hmmm ... split between "it's midnight", "here we go again", "trinidad" and "my first mistake"

― moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 23 December 2008 00:01 (seventeen years ago)

isn't "dreaming a dream" between "put your body in it" and "by the way you dance"?

voted "take me home". could've gone with many others tho

no way -- massive bass hits come at the end of 'pybii' and beginning of 'btwyd'

― choom gangsta (deej), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 09:23 (seventeen years ago)

actually wait maybe you're right

― choom gangsta (deej), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 09:24 (seventeen years ago)

Bad Mouthin'!

― Craig D., Wednesday, 31 December 2008 14:01 (seventeen years ago)

fun poll but what's great abt this set is the sum of the parts (gestalt if you will) the flow and transitions. truly not a bad track so EVERYBODY wins.

I'd love to hear a larry DJ set from 1981-82 when synth-soul new wave & reggae surfaced in the mix, that was his heyday IMO.

until that happens this album is my favorite disco document, trumping even saturday night fever.

― m coleman, Wednesday, 31 December 2008 16:45 (seventeen years ago)

OMG the break on that supremes song

5. By The Way You Dance - Bunny Sigler 0
6. Right In The Socket - Shalamar 0

two years pass...

The last part of the Jermaine Jackson track, with the dubbed-in children (apparently from a Grand Funk track), is so beautiful. Perfect ending.
