The Show (Original 12 Inch Vocal Mix) - Doug E. Fresh And The Get Fresh Crew
Old school jams Outstanding cd compilation that remids you of the past. You must purchase volume 4 to go along with this set.
Old School Jams 3 Great Ol School CD. If you are tired of listening to rappers brag on themselves and disrespect women, then take a trip back to the way it use to be.
Great Buy I agree with Mr. Pac Dan about some of the songs not being 12 inches, but still is a great buy, especially as a constant enjoyment reminder of the real essence of music and just havin' a phenomenally great/quality time whenever you heard these songs.
Old School Jams, Vol. 3 It has taken me years to finally find a disk with the "Original" version of "The Show" with Doug E. Fresh and the Get Fresh Crew. For those in the know, the part where Slick Rick says "Me-Shell, Ma-Bell...." was strangely edited out in every other version of the song that I've ever come across on Compact Disc. A special "Thank You" to whomever found the "Original" 12-inch version!
The rest of the disk isn't bad, either. But, for me, it's strictly "The Show!" Four stars!!
If You're Not Concerned With Quality.................. Then you will enjoy this CD otherwise it's a waste of money, mostly Vinyl records transferred to CD and poorly done at that. You can clearly hear vinyl noise and pops/crackles. There should be a law that CD's transfered from vinyl records should state so on the package. I wasted my money. "D-"
