To me this is like a testament of a new-New Romantics movement from the US Midwest with the original Chicago house music sound.

These trax sound like the perfect blending of black US disco, r & b, electro funk and European New Wave music aesthetics, culture, + let's not forget the Italo sound which was crucial part of those young producers tastes and development (Italo and it's various influences in dance music was a staple on Chicago's radio stations like WBMX in those early 80's yrs.).

Unquestionably an essential 'party lp' for sure and one to be considered a classic of the genre for it being from such an important city for the music style it showcases and for being from such early stages of development of what became a worldwide mass music phenomenon.

This is considered to be the first full length house album made. It also contains the original version of Jesse Saunders' "I AM the DJ" as of which he did the more popular "Remix of the Remix" verion that was pressed on limited red vinyl. Very RARE as only a few hundred copies of this LP were pressed.
