    The Wonder Of Stevie

    Heard this new compilation CD playing at Amoeba a few weeks ago (I first heard Minnie Riperton's "Stick Together" and couldn't figure out what the hell they were playing...then another Stevie Wonder tune and then another ...then, after strolling over to the Stevie Wonder section..... I figured it out)...went back to pick it up a few days later and it was sold out!!!! Finally found it back in stock on New Years Eve.

    The first CD is a mix; the second is the individual tracks.

    I hoped it would be listed on AMG--so I could copy & paste...BUT THE DAMN THINGS NOT THERE!!!! :evil:

    This looks VERY good marky!! :) Apparantly this DJ Spinna guy is all over the place. I've definetely seen his name more time than I care to remember lately. He also did some Shirly Bassey remixes a while.

    here's a full discography of his works:

    I noticed the UK release has 10 tracks and the American has 13. One of those extras on the American is a remix on "Moonraker" which I'd love to hear. Remix credit goes to 'Superfunk'. Anyone have any info --- album or remixer?

    (Sorry, Mark. This isn't about Stevie but I hoped you'd cut me slack since the inquiry is about Ms. Bassey )

    "Superfunk" were a french house music duo who had a big hit with "Lucky Star" a few years ago. They used to have a website but unfortunately it has been taken down.
