All Ratings
A hugely influential album, in whatever form you find it. The original album had seven tracks, but nowadays you usually see it streaming with eight, including the key last song being "The Adventures Of Grandmaster Flash On The Wheels of Steel." Side One is terrific. All four songs are strong though the opener "She's Fresh" is the winner -- a tremendous party song that has you singing along from the get go. "It's Nasty" is almost as good, with the sample of Tom Tom Club, "Scorpio" a key electro-dance track and "It's A Shame" solid. Peaks early but a great side. Side Two has two very weak tracks, "Dreamin'" and the poor ode to God "You Are." Really, He deserves better. And then "The Message," one of the key tracks in hip hop history. Five of seven (or six of eight) with three or four classics that are very influential. It's a pity the two weak tracks keep this from being perfect. You're better off with a hits set, but it needs to be heard.
Why would anyone listen to selections from her double album Ella Fitzgerald Sings The George and Ira Gerswhin Song Book? This rating is for the original double album, not this unnecessary, condensed take.
