Customer Reviews:
YES, the fully licensed original mixes are on here!!!.......2005-09-15
No matter where I read reviews of this series, everyone failed to mention if the original recordings were included-it sounds as if this DJ Spinna guy remixes all these songs-it says "mixed by DJ Spinna" on every disc! Couldn't be anymore confusing.
I have no opinion on the continuous remix disc, but the two UN-beatmixed discs are the complete original recordings. You are going to find some real rare treats here, like the original cut of Dee Dee Sharp's "Easy Money." Even Eddie Kendrick's "Girl You Need a Change of Mind" is the full length version, not the "part 1" used on his greatest hits CD. A real gem for collectors, I'd get this while you can. Track times:

spinna spinna suger.......2002-06-02
the mixed cd was off the hindges (mr. spinna proves he's got the goods in his crates and on the wheels).. the unmixed cd's hold those same tracks in their entirety and are excellent for you to mix at your next party (if you dare).
pimpin the funkalicious.......2001-09-18
Great Album!! Can't say enough good things about it. If your into smooth funkalicious grooves from the 70s this is it! This album was in my CD player for the whole summer! Great album to have ... while cruising around in your vintage M3 bimmer!
Pretty Good.......2001-06-13
It has a nice collection of 70's funk, rare groove etc etc

Album Description
Do you ever wonder where the inimitable sound of 21st century R&B and rap comes from, with its Hollywood sheen, smoky-voiced divas, sassy lyrics and sleek yet oh-so-sexy beats? Fusing elements of rare groove, funk, 70s breakbeat and lush romantic soul; it's strange yet funky, commercial yet spiritual, a reflection of what has gone before, but nevertheless entirely fresh and new. From Beyonce to Snoop Dogg, Mary J. to Missy, what are the roots of this sound, and who are its originators?
The "Strange Games..." series holds some of the answers. A fascinating musical biography of the evolution of R&B and rap, this continuing album project delves into the back catalogue of rare groove, soul, funk and disco to find the tunes that have counted in sculpting the perfect silhouette of today's R&B and hip-hop. Its selection of classics that have influenced and - through covers and samples - helped to assemble the modern R&B sound reveals the missing links between 70s soul, the 80s London rare groove revival and our slickly commercial modern product. Strange Funky Games and Things continues the quest to trace the sensual and soulful roots of today's ultra-modern grooves. Simply lie back, listen and let the music do the talking, as favorites like Donald Byrd's "Loving You" and Monty Alexander's "Love and Happiness" take you on a voyage of discovery into the vaults of funked-up bliss.

Funk and Soul: Obscurities and Classics.......2000-06-30
British label BBE (Barely Breaking Even) have established themselves as the world's finest archivists of soul, funk and latin music. On this spectacular release, named after the incendiary track of the same name by Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra, they offer a dazzling selection of American soul and funk from the 70's guaranteed to please even the most avid soul/funk fan and collector. As well as the title track with its swooning strings and powerful breaks, 'Strange Games and Funky Things' features such treasures as 'Reasons' by Minnie Riperton, '90% of Me Is You' by Gwen Guthrie and 'If I Can't Stop You' by Johnny Bristol. This is a collection to treasure. The good news is that two more installments of this series have since been released giving music lovers a chance to own some of the funkiest and most soulful tracks ever recorded without going bankrupt.
