Journey into Paradise...the Larry Levan Story CD

[keefelc]

Hi Jeff - I'm happy to report the 2 disc set is comprised of individual tracks - all 12 inch versions (per the liner notes). Sounds pretty clean although I haven't listened with headphones yet. BTW, the set is a combination of tracks that Larry Levan mixed and tracks that were popular at the Garage.

Finally, some domestic product releasing the versions we want. Hope there are more!!!

I actually found it in my local record store about 1 week after street date. Played it all and it's not a mix and is superb. I give it 8.5 out of 10 rating. I was not too crazy about some of the '80s pop that was there but overall clean sound.
