Reviews

retrogroove Oct 9, 2022
I was a huge fan of Toni's 2 albums and, since no one has bothered to release remastered versions (complete with all the 7" and 12" mixes!!!), The best we can hope for right now is a decent compilation. I've owned several and this CD is the best sounding of the bunch, and the one I opted to keep in my collection. "Shoppin' From A To Z" is of course from vinyl (any CD featuring this or her cover of "Rock On" use vinyl transfers), but everything else sounds really well balanced, clean and crystal clear.
