If you are looking for ballads then The Fiestas is not for you. "Last Night I Dreamed", "Come On And Love Me" and "Our Anniversary" are decent but not outstanding. You will not miss much passing this disc up.

Sure Shots Of Soul
You win some, you lose some. The tracks by The Malibus caught my eye so I decided to take a chance and got burned. There is nothing on this disc that I can tag as a highlight. Definitely a pass.

The Ad Libs & Friends
I picked this disc up solely for "The La La Song" by Roddie Joy. The rest was popcorn oldies that I skipped through gather quickly.
The Roddie Joy track gets a 10 out of 10. The rest of the disc gets a 1 out of 10.
The Gifts Meet The Pacesetters
A highly recommended release packed with killer sweet soul jams! Pick this one up, you will not be disappointed.

The Starlighters
A good look at the late Van McCoy's early work. Highlights include "Mr. D.J.", "It's Twelve O'Clock", "Girls Are Sentimental" and "Come Back To Me". Liner notes and excellent sound quality.

Ronnie Walker
The first track it a killer sweet soul jam but unfortunately it does not hit another high point through the rest of the disc. "I'm Saying Goodbye" and "This Is My Prayer" are decent tracks. Excellent sound quality and liner notes.
4 out of 10.
The Ideals
Nice pick up with some good solid ballads. Highlights include "Don Juan", "Together", "Tell Her I Apologize" and "You Hurt Me". The sound quality does vary but still recommended.

The Best Of Underground Souldies
The vast portion of the tracks on these two discs are repeats. Sprinkled in are also a few lousy tracks probably used as fillers.

Shirley And Lee
Early R&B sides by Shirley and Lee with lots of uptempo tracks. This CD is not recommended for all, especially if you are more into 60's and 70's slow ballads. Leave this one for the hardcore Doo Wop fans. Above average sound quality.
