Purely a nostalgic buy...the funk/disco hits "Burn Rubber", "You Dropped a Bomb on Me", "Early in the Morning" and "Party Train" were among the first songs I took to back when I was listening exclusively to KIIS-FM and The Mighty 690 (HA! Remember THEM?? "Exe Te Ere Ah, Tijuana Mehico"...lol) In fact, I came very close to buying Gap Band IV at one point...well, after listening to this one, I seem to remember having heard "Shake" and "Yearning for Your Love" at some time in the past, and seem to have FORGOTTEN just how awful "Outstanding" was. And the other songs remind me why I never became an R&B fan in the first place! Ack. Oh well, good to get the songs I like on CD, finally.
