For DJ Spinna's actual mix, don't buy this cd. They are unmixed and are sold separately in other packages as well. Buyers should understand what they're getting, and this site takes the cake for not being clear. songs cut way short, awkward seguing (e.g. The cover art may be a lame rip-off of the album art on Kenny Dope's STRANGE GAMES AND FUNKY THINGS III, but it's CD 2 and 3 on Spinna's STRANGE GAMES AND THINGS that makes this a good buy. it's hardly worth reviewing. As if the silly scratching in Save Their Souls weren't enough ;).Do get this CD set for CDs 2 and 3.
CD 3 is the awesome STRANGE GAMES & FUNKY THINGS II, which may be out of print elsewhere. For example, potential buyer might want to ask seller if they are getting the 'box set' or the digi-pak cd case set.Next, there's the issue of content. CD 2 is STRANGE GAMES AND THINGS. some scratching here and there, and probably mostly where it shouldn't be. Bohannon's mournful "Save Their Souls" seguing into Linda William's "Elevate Your Mind" - like going from a funeral to an aerobics class. For this compilation alone, this CD set is worth getting. Actually, I am really curious to know who put those two compilations together - STRANGE GAMES AND THINGS I, and STRANGE GAMES & FUNKY THINGS II.

You are going to find some real rare treats here, like the original cut of Dee Dee Sharp's "Easy Money." Even Eddie Kendrick's "Girl You Need a Change of Mind" is the full length version, not the "part 1" used on his greatest hits CD. Heart's desire.don Blackman (4:31)4. Couldn't be anymore confusing.I have no opinion on the continuous remix disc, but the two UN-beatmixed discs are the complete original recordings. Easy money.dee dee sharp (4:05)3.

No matter where I read reviews of this series, everyone failed to mention if the original recordings were included-it sounds as if this DJ Spinna guy remixes all these songs-it says "mixed by DJ Spinna" on every disc.

the mixed cd was off the hindges (mr. spinna proves he's got the goods in his crates and on the wheels). the unmixed cd's hold those same tracks in their entirety and are excellent for you to mix at your next party (if you dare).
Great Album. This album was in my CD player for the whole summer. Can't say enough good things about it. If your into smooth funkalicious grooves from the 70s this is it. Great album to have. while cruising around in your vintage M3 bimmer.
It has a nice collection of 70's funk, rare groove etc etcGet it if you are into that kinda music. I liked it, but I spent $$$$ =( a tad expensive.
