Entertainment Reviews:

5 Stars (out of 5) - "...It's a package sure to please specialists, and anyone else with ears on their head."

Musician - 7/96, p.94

"...the best bet for the money. It covers a period when Brown and his great bands wrought 'that new breed thang'--a steaming, hypnotic, groove-driven style that, not coincidentally, spawned the R&B maestro's biggest hits..."
