Good selections, bad mixing.
This CD has some pretty good jams in it. It's cheap, too. But, the mixing is the worst I've heard ever on a CD. What were they thinking releasing this without polishing it up first? ... Read more

Worth the wait
I remember the golden days of freestyle and this is the best. I have the whole collection and I wouldn't trade it for the world. In fact, I think if my house ever caught on fire, this would be the only thing I'd save! Take it from a girl from the Bronx, you won't go wrong with this.

Hot Freestyle
Freestyle Music is the best kind of music there is. Volume Eight of this series is the next best CD next to Volume One. Lot of dark, fast beats. Best is "When I Hear Music" by Debbie Deb, followed by "Picking up Pieces" by Brenda K. Starr.

why did Tommy Boy wait so long to put out this CD????
It has some of my absolute favorite Freestyle songs on it! I love When I Hear Music,Sincerely Yours, If You Leave Me Now,etc. The entire CD usually has me dancing.

LOVE THE COLLECTION
This is one of the best CD's Mr. Tommy Boy have done to all freestyle fanatics. Please make volume 11,12,13...etc. and never finish.

Real Quality Freestyle, ..............Take Notes
This is the intro CD of one the best freestyle labels ever, period. You can see that hard work and dedication went into this CD because it is real quality freestyle. This is what freestyle is supposed to be like, great production, awesome vocals, clear quality sound. Willie Valentin really saved freestyle for a while with his creation of the Artistik label, and is most likely still working on more great freestyle under that label. If you want to buy a great quality freestyle CD, and for some reason don't have this yet, buy it, along with every other Artistik freestyle CD you can find. Peace, Keep Freestylin'. ... Read more

Expanded to 10 volumes from the original 7, Timber Records head Joey Gardner's Freestyle's Greatest Beats is a roughly chronological history of the music. Volume 1 scores with freestyle fundamentals from heavy hitters such as TKA, Cover Girls, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, and Exposé. This disc is heavy on the classics and features cuts that aren't played as much anymore. Jellybean's "The Mexican," in its original form, blurs the line between dance music and rock; England's Information Society brings some Euro-cool to the Latin hip-hop; and Nayobe's hyperemotional "Please Don't Go" hits the head as hard as the hips. --John Sanchez ...

Freestyle classics all the way!
In the late 80s, early 90s I grew up on this stuff in NYC, clubbing at the likes of The Tunnel, The Underground, Heartthrob, 1018, The World ... (I'm sure all you people not from New York, or from Long Island *grin*, had your own clubs) ... I can guarantee this Freestyle Greatest Beats series is jammed packed with classics. I needn't rehash the contents, since you can easily see the list of songs here on Amazon. But all these artists - Noel, Will to Power, Judy Torres, Cynthia, TKA, Latin Rascals, etc. - bring me right back to the days. I finally found songs I'd wanted for more than 10 years now. What more can I say. You'd better make sure you have thick walls and nobody's home when you play these CDs, because you're going to be pumping it up and swaying to the beats right there in your living room. (I know I do).

DANCE TILL YOU CAN'T DANCE NO MORE!
If you enjoyed those unforgettable 80s when freestyle dance music ruled, then don't miss the memories this CD brings back to you.

This is another disc in the 10-volume history of the music known as freestyle or "Latin hip-hop." The entire collection forms a comprehensive history, and every disc has its merits. Volume 5 is set apart first and foremost by "Dreamboy/Dreamgirl," an ode performed by Cynthia and Johnny O that raises romantic passion and devotion to a nearly religious pitch. At the opposite end of the spectrum, but just as memorable, is Sa-Fire's "Love Is on Her Mind," the bitchiest catfight anthem this side of Vanity 6's "If a Girl Answers (Don't Hang Up)." As a special bonus, the set is kicked off with George Lamond's massive "Bad of the Heart." --John Sanchez ... Read more

WOW!
Incredible... Anyone that wants to revive those old feelings of 80's club music, this is a must have! Filled with many songs that I had forgotten about. I purchased the entire collection. If you like that whole "Stevie B, Rick Astley (even though he's not on it) era", Then I would highly recommend this collection!

Good Old Days
I remembered hanging out at a house party back in the New Wave era when my date and I came across the title song "You're A Woman" and man we tore up the dance floor. Sadly after collecting all their releases in cassettes (just couldn't afford CDs at the time), I moved and lost the whole collection and interest. Now it's 2004 and while listening to the 80s hits on EnergyDanceRadio.com, "Lovers In The Sand" came on--man, I totally cranked up the volume and got up and danced like I was at a club without realizing I was at work! It brought me back the thrill and excitement of the 80s again. EnergyDanceRadio.com provides specific albums on what songs they play from, and from there I got on Amazon.com and purchased a used CD for about $10.00! It was worth every penny! BACK is definitely a recommend!

Great CD
This CD boasts solid remixes worth hearing but the true gems of this product are, contrary to my initial pre-purchase intent,the NEW songs. All of them are worth listening to and the listener should be quite pleased by what he or she hears. The remixes are a bit different than the originals but give them a chance, they just might grow on you. If they don't fit your fancy, there's always the spectacular "Completely Remixed" album for superb mixes. Either way, you shouldn't be disappointed in this album, I know I wasn't!

excellent 90's version of Bad Boys Blue
This CD is pretty damn good. If you like good euro dance songs this CD has it. The remixes of their old songs are good, but the new ones are even better. You can forget about Backstreet Boys and N Sync, this is music for mature audiences.

The redone music was satisfactory.
After listening to the CD, I though they did a better job at remixing, compared to Mondern Talking and CC Catch. The back ground music was set for the 1990's, but their stlye of singing was 1980ish. I would have given 5 stars if they would have sung at a faster beat. Next time they do resings Bad Boys Blue needs to sing faster, then they would be set for the modern music industry.

Bad Boys Blue:Back is a one of their best albums!
This was a great album and I can not wait for their next release!! I have been listening to Bad Boys Blue evr since the mid 80's and I am going to keep on listening to Bad Boys Blue for as long I live!! ... Read more

A Fabulous Album Visit judytorres.com
This is one of best albums by one of the best artists ever! She has a very unqiue voice that is instantly recognizable once fimilar with her songs. The songwriting and arrangments are great. On songs such as "Please Stay Tonight", "Weakness of the Body" and "I'm So In Love with You", Judy does some great Pop/R&B songs. While on "Missing Part" she transforms into a soul diva with excellent success. Then you have the freestyle/dance favourites such as "There's No Reason to Cry", "Come Into My Arms", "Love Story" and "I Love You, Will You Love Me". This album you can listen to from beginning to end. Undoubtably, fans of Pop, R&B/Soul, Freestyle, Electronic/Dance, and Latin Pop should have this album in their music collections; you will not be disappointed!

Don't think it's just freestyle......
Freestyle is the motivator to pick up this project, but the beautiful ballads "Missing Part" and "Everytime" are what keep it playing at my house for the past 12 years!!! Another favorite part of this album is the line from the title track..."I must have read a thousand tales of romance and each one touched my heart".....Her "MY SOUL" lp was ok but LOVE STORY is one of the best stories in freestyle music ever!!!! (thumbs up to "I'm so in love with you" and "No reason to cry"

The BOMB!!!
Judy Torres is the ultimate Freestyle Queen!!!!! I have bought this album over 6 times! I highly recommend it to any Freestyle-for-life junkie like me!!!!! I especially love "NO REASON TO CRY"

The Queen of Freestyle
Judy Torres has earned a place in the history of dance music with this freestyle classic, Love Story. The songs are beautiful, catchy, and delivers a hard bass driven sound that's purely a signature style, all Judy's own. A freestyle album that should be had by all fans of the genre.

the queen at her best
songs like love you will you love me and i'm still in love with you,just one of the reasons why any one that is into freestyle ,should get this album..any of her fans will agree,JUDY AT HER BEST! A MUST HAVE! EVERY SONG IS A CLASSIC! ... Read more

This is NOT the Original Recording!!!
I just purchased this CD and should have listened to the guy who already gave it "2" stars. I grew up listening to Freestyle and I cannot believe how they put out a CD with such a different sound. Dont get me wrong, I love Judy Torres but the recordings are much different than the original version of "Love Story". If you want to hear what the real recordings sound like, go on to her website judytorres.com. I will continue to search for the original copy of "Love Story" on CD!

A Good Greatest Hits Compilation Visit judytorres.com
This is a very good album music from this artist. The re-recorded songs are as good as the orginals from "Love Story" & "My Soul". The only song I heard on the cd that has a heavy echco is "Holding On". All the other songs sound fine. This cd is a good introduction if you don't know this artist. "Come Into My Arms" remix is off tha chain! It does justise to the orginal. Lovers of Freestyle, Dance, R&B/Soul, & Pop should give this a try...

This CD is an outright lie!
The record company that put this CD out is telling an outright lie to the customers. The CD "supposedly" contains the original recordings of Judy's greatest hits. However, the songs on this CD are definitely NOT the original recordings!!! These are not the original hits which are played on the radio, and which appear on Judy's original albums. I've been listening to the music of Judy Torres for many years, and I know that these are not the same recordings that were on Judy's original singles and albums. The versions on this album are re-recorded versions done by Judy Torres. The songs don't sound bad (except for the extra-heavy echo), but they ARE NOT the original hit recordings.

FREESTYLE LIVES
wow! it is all here except for "I LOVE YOU FOR ALL SEASONS". all the hits, all the memories... I love this woman. her voice is priceless, her songs are awesome and she's got the sweetest personality. she deserves to finally have a greatest hits record released.as a long time fan, i do have all her music that was released. but nowadays it is very hard to find if not impossible. so i am thankful for this release, so that more people could find out about her music. she truelly deserves to be a bigger singing sensation than she is. just listen to this cd!! it makes me wonder why she is not up there with the celine dions and mariah carey's because her voice most certainly is. When i listen to this cd, every single song on here holds a memory for me. every song reminds me of someone or something from back in the day. how many singers can do that. Although most of the mixes here have helped update the songs, some mixes have unfortunately watered them down. "please stay tonight" sounds great, as does "lovestory" "windows", "my soul" and many more.But what on earth happened to the mix of "holding On"? Compared to the original, it is a mess. i'm sorry to say it, but a great song was ruined. At least her vocals weren't messed with too much.hurry up and get this cd. it is a must have from a freestyle legend.Take a listen, and just watch the memories come back. it will make you miss the days of great dance music, that was fun to dance AND sing along to.

FREESTYLE DIVA SOUNDS GREAT
I've been a Judy fan ever since her first release on the tiny Jackie Jack record label, and its finally here, her greatest hits package. These new remixes sound GREAT and what a treat all her great music on one cd.I've been waiting for this one. JUDY RULES! ... Read more

Love my Jocelyn
I met her the other night in Memphis at a club called Amnesia. She is so cute, such a doll in person! What a great performer. Anyway, she is so very friendly too. After talking with her, she had told me how nice it was to meet me and appreciated us coming to see her. I have been a long time fan of Jocelyn and she lives up to all my expectations. This is one of my favorite songs of hers. The remixes are awsome. There are actually 10 tracks on this cd. Buy this, you will certainly get your moneys worth. And if you ever get the change go see this wonderful woman, do so, she is unbelieveable, and CUTE TOO!

Rarely a song like this
There is rarely a song that grabs my attention like this one. It seems to me that the song was made in response to an event in her life that makes the song very powerful and sincere. I rarely like dance songs but for dance freaks out there this is a must buy! Also a must buy for all lovers out there!

HOT
Dance, planet, break, techno....beats for everyone on this song. She can sing. An exceptional buy.

Freestyle to the next level
Jocelyn Enriquez definitely has the flava to continually make freestyle hits, each song that she records has a different twist-a different kind of beat to keep us interested in her album. from her first album with "I've been thinkin' about you" which contains "you are the one" and "only" to her 2nd album, with "do u miss me," "a little bit of estacy," and some slow jams, she shows a lot of talent that will last longer than most one-hit wonders.

Dunno
I am actually looking for a song by her Titled "You Are The One".......i can't find it...can anyone tell me which album it belongs to? ... Read more
