NOW Dance - The 12'' Mixes

Just to give you an idea of the thinking behind this, the original NOW dance, I will quote a couple of sleeve captions.
''2 Hours of wicked mixes to keep you moving all night long''
and ''The album you've been dreaming of''
Both of these quotes are tastefully placed around photographs of a young lady tossing and turning as she sleeps?(or tries to sleep, as some of this albums mixes are so bad they'd keep anybody awake!
There are some great tracks here too - Ashford& Simpson has stood the test of time along with a couple of the others.
