Summary: Some of the best productions ever made destroyed by bad mastering
Comment: Alex Sadkin is one of my favorite producers so I was excited to get this CD. Thought it sounded weird, looked at the audio in an audio editor and - like so many CDs these days - it's been subject to what engineers call "smashtering." The audio is hugely compressed and some tracks even have digital clipping (distortion) in addition to the compression. I compared My Jamaican Guy on this to the original 1982 Island CD and the difference is shocking. If you care anything about how Alex Sadkin actually wanted these productions to sound, avoid this compilation.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Production legends Sly and Robbie's genre bending output from their own Compass Point Studios is compiled on "Funky Nassau." Included are seminal tracks from Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club, Grace Jones, & more as well as lesser known gems from the fringes of rock, soul, and dance music.
