Grand 12-Inches, Vol. 3

by Ben Liebrand

Overview

The third volume of Ben Liebrand's Grand12-Inches series, released by a division of Sony in the Netherlands, features another round of full- and extended-length selections. As usual, most of the tracks originate from the late '70s and '80s and are rooted in R&B, and there's a nice balance between commercial successes and cult favorites. Some of the highlights here include Janis Ian's Giorgio Moroder-produced "Fly Too High" (from the Foxes soundtrack), Andre Cymone's Prince-written "The Dance Electric," Trussel's "Love Injection," and Shalamar's "Right in the Socket." Among those pulled from the rock and pop sections: Robert Palmer's cover of the System's "You're in My System," Talk Talk's "Such a Shame," and Fox the Fox's "Precious Little Diamond." ~ Andy Kellman
