So yes, I was heavily disappointed when I heard the ear-aching version of 'Nice and slow' included here. I was looking forward to hear the original 1976 12 inch in its full master glory as I'm used to from Ben Liebrand, because the 5:28 version from Disky's 70s Maximum vol. 2 was a vinyl rip and the 5:50 version on Jesse Green's Unidisc comp was a remix (albeit with the original 70s sounds).
I could have sent him that latter version. Now I'm feeling guilty not having done so.:(Same story for 'Native New Yorker', my 5:37 version on The Best Of 12 Inch Gold 19 sounds rather tinny, so I was hoping to get it here in better quality. But I end up with a modern remix. Knowing it is an RCA track so it should be in the Sony vaults.' Just be good': the track runs slower over time (compare first bars with the last ones). Not sure if this was an error but it just bugs me the same way as did Dayton's 'The sound of music' (which was corrected by Ben). Too bad, still no master quality release of the 'vocal long version' running 10:18.?Nu Shooz: somehow, the first bar is missing.?We get the Blank & Jones reconstruction of 'Duel'.
I still prefer the original 'Bittersweet' version but I guess the version included here was the version Ben wanted to make in those days. Too bad, Ben did not have the equipment then that B&J is having now.Club Nouveau is one of those cases in which I prefer the album version to the remix.Nightlife Unlimited DF&B: I knew the track from the Casablanca 4CD box. I like the version there better than this one, but nevertheless it's good to have both versions now.Sister Sledge 'All American Girls': we get a longer version than the originally released one, with a clean fade. Donna Summer 'Walk Away' also runs longer than the released 12' version. So yes, there are also positive notes on this compilation.
The tracks by Leroy Burgess, Crown Heights Affair, Steven & Sterling, Heatwave and Serge Ponsar were not in my collection yet. And others were around but not in the quality presented here.I agree that the number of worthwhile tracks is getting lower each volume, but I think we should not blame just Ben for that. Sure, I could list 40-45 titles that should belong on G12-15 and someone else request even 40-45 more for G12-16.

And I think Ben loves to make these tracks available as much as we do. But Ben can only include what the record companies are willing to license to him. And in many cases, the material the record companies are passing him is not to Ben's quality standards. Of course, Ben could revert to vinyl if the master is missing, but that should be the exception instead of the rule.
When Grand 12-Inches first appeared it was a good idea. Now the series is tired and not well put together. I stopped collecting on volume 10 because of the mastering faults and that there was no re-press done for what is effectively a faulty product with all the nasty digital clicks. I keep looking at the track lists for newer volumes and they are getting worse and worse, so I would have stopped at volume 10 anyway most likely. I think Ben Liebrand has lost his way and doesn't really have a good connection to what the public want. Also, he keeps talking about getting the best sounding masters, but then he is on Facebook asking people to send him.wav files.

So these are not coming from master tapes any more. The other thing is that the series is called Grand 12-Inches, yet he increasingly includes tracks that aren't the original 12 inch mixes. We instead get album versions, updated remixes etc. Such a shame.
2003 kawasaki stx 12f horsepower. To be honest this is an edition with the least impressive tracktitles of them all. If you have to use also vinyl more and more because you run out of ideas or the well is drying up, why not go for: Playback-Space Invaders, Shock- Angel face, The Amazing Bingo Band- Power Music, Giorgio Farina- Farina's Suite, Disco Dream And The Androids- Dream Machine, Denise McCann- I Have A Destiny, Kikrokos- Life Is A Jungle, Foxy- Party boys (Disconet edit), Nancy martin- Can't Believe. Look them up on Youtube and you must agree these are the real (disco)classics!!
