John Travolta - Best of - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

John Doe is much more likely to look ahead to what's next, rather than fixate on the past - even a past as storied and influential as his own. Part scrapbook, part roadmap, THE BEST OF JOHN DOE THIS FAR guides listeners through Doe's solo catalog. Compiled by Doe himself, the generous track listing encompasses nearly a quarter century, highlighting songs from from nine records on six different labels. Sequenced non-chronologically, THE BEST OF JOHN DOE THIS FAR was compiled with four vinyl sides in mind. There was no formula These are simply Doe's favorite moments, including in concert staples, pivotal collaborations, personal milestones, and even a pair of unreleased reexaminations of songs from his past.

Vinyl LP pressing. The fourth and final volume in the African Dub All-Mighty series was originally released in 1979, and like the previous three discs it features rhythm tracks laid down by such famous session men as Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare, Lloyd Parks, and Franklin InchBubblersInch Waul, most of whom were already known as members of the Revolutionaries and the We the People band, but who recorded at Joe Gibbs' studio as the Professionals. Errol Thompson ran the board for all four collections of dub mixes, and while this fourth installment isn't quite as inspired as the third, it's also a bit more interesting and adventurous than the first. Some of these mixes are two or three times removed from the vocal tracks that were originally released - InchIron Gate,Inch for example, is a dub mix of a recut (by Althea & Donna) of the Heptones' proto-slack rocksteady classic InchFattie FattieInch; InchFashion OneInch is a remix of Dennis Brown's remake of Alton Ellis' 1960s classic InchGirl I've Got a Date.Inch Everything here is worth a listen, though InchPower PackInch (based on the instrumental InchDrum SongInch by Sound Dimension) is a bit tedious and would have benefited from a more aggressive dub treatment. Recommended overall.
