| | DeBarge Winning Combinations CD DeBarge Discography of CDs
(2 Customer Reviews)
Both bands are revered for their releases during Motown's second coming, both bands had massive hits, and both bands are largely comprised of the DeBarge family. This makes for not only a convenient survey of the DeBarge family's early musical output, but quite a comprehensive one -- as there is no filler to be found anywhere. One half of the release focuses on the powerhouse DeBarge crusade of the '80s, and the other half concentrates on the uptempo disco-soul and quiet storm of Switch. The only noticeable omission is DeBarge's "Who's Johnny?" from the Short Circuit movie soundtrack, but other than that, it's rock-solid and a worthy investment for a new listener or die-hard fan looking to have the hits on CD instead of vinyl. ~ Rob Theakston
DeBarge includes: El DeBarge, Randy DeBarge, Chico DeBarge (vocals).
Switch includes: Bobby DeBarge.

| | 2 Live Crew As Clean As They Wanna Be CD (1989)
Winning Combinations music CDs
$13.69 2 Live Crew's infamous -- record store clerks were actually arrested for selling the album -- and double platinum -- a great example of how being banned can increase sales -- As Nasty As They Wanna Be may be more talked about than listened to, but it's actually a thoroughly entertaining effort and as solid a album as the trashy party rap genre could have hoped for. In the first moments a sampled voice asks, "What do we get for ten dollars?." In a sleazy slow tone that might make Ron Jeremy blush, a hooker answers, "Everything you want" as the album begins to deliver on this street corner promise with the legendary "Me So Horny" ("me love you long time"). With a sample of Full Metal Jacket's Vietnamese hooker, a cheap drum machine, a fat bassline, and a simple set of rhymes that are filled with every cuss word, innuendo, and misogynist, knuckle-dragging reference to women imaginable, "Me So Horny" is the reason 2 Live Crew should exist. Nothing they or their leader Luke (Luther) Campbell recorded afterwards sounded as lean, as hook filled, and so instantly grabbing as the single. From the inner city strip clubs to the headphones of teenagers in the suburbs, the track was a massive guilty pleasure, one that could also fill the dancefloor in a second. The album that follows repeats and repeats this cheap and silly porno formula and miraculously ...
| | Cold Heat: Heavy Funk Rarities 1968-1974 Vol. 1 CD (2005)
Winning Combinations songs
$12.85 Now-Again Records, run by hip-hop label Stones Throw manager Egon, does release some new material, but it is dedicated to finding and reissuing the music from both obscure and more celebrated funk artists of the 1960s and '70s. 2001's The Funky 16 Corners reintroduced some of the lost names of the genre to the world, and Cold Heat: Heavy Funk Rarities 1968-1974, Vol. 1 is a follow-up to that, with, as stated in the title, tracks that most people have never heard before, and that would otherwise be nearly impossible to find. Luckily, in this case "rare" doesn't also mean "bad." Egon went to great length to find the master tapes of these tracks (many of which were the B-sides to the artists' less-obscure releases), and when needed, edited different versions together himself, so the sound quality is superb, as is the music itself. Probably due to the fact that he is also a DJ, Egon focuses on songs that are rhythm-heavy. Vocals, if they even exist, generally consist of short, repeated phrases that interact with the horn parts (the two notable exceptions being the Aristocrats Organization's "Don't Go," featuring ...

$33.79 It is not necessarily uncommon for a prosperous record company such as Motown to retain plenty of unissued recordings in their vaults. But what makes the Detroit-based label different from most others of its era is the 24/7 assembly line production methodology that may have kept as much material tucked away as was eventually released. Motown founder Berry Gordy's upbringing as a composer was undoubtedly helpful when identifying potential hits and he quickly established himself as a formidable talent scout. The perpetual influx of fresh, strong songs and singers resulted in producers continually trying to find ...
