The Kenny Lehman produced group, Lemon, had some solid Chic-like Disco tracks with "A Freak A" and "Chance To Dance." The original six-track album appears here with two bonus tracks in the form of the hard to find François Kevorkian 12 inch extended remixes of Chance To Dance and A-Freak-A.

Pros:
You get the complete, unedited and original, album, original cover art and even the studio and musician credits in the liner notes.
Two bonus François Kevorkian 12 inch remixes (tracks 4 and 5).
Excellent sound quality as Unidisc owns the original Prelude masters.

Cons:
Minor quibble as I'm a purist at heart, but the two bonus tracks should have been placed at the very end. The original vinyl album had three songs on each side and what they did here was place the two bonus tracks in the track four and five slot, which is right in the middle of the album. This annoyingly breaks up the flow of the original tracklisting.
