Customer Reviews
Good for the price
PIR was not a powerhouse disco label, at least not after 1975, when most of their session players defected to labels like Salsoul and PIR failed to capture the emerging sex'n'hedonism aesthetic. This compilation features tracks released between 1976 and 1983, and a ropey old collection it is, too.
The leadoff track, McFadden & Whitehead's Ain't No Stopping Us Now, might lead you to think the compilation will be killer, but it's the strongest track on the whole set and the only really big hit for PIR during this period. Much of the rest plays like copies of better songs, with the occasional gem such as The Jones Girls' Nights Over Egypt or Jean Carn's Don't Let It Go To Your Head alleviating the tedium. And the two "rapping" tracks by Jocko are execrable, giving pause to anyone thinking PIR knew what they were doing.
It's well mastered, with good clean sound, and there are a generous number of tracks, but even at the low price you will find little here that's compulsive.
