"I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU. 90% OF THIS CD I'VE NEVER HEARD. I'D LIKE TO; I JUST HAVEN'T. WHEN IT WAS RECORDED THERE WERE NO CD'S. HELL THEIR WERE NO 'STEREO' 45'S. IMAGININE THAT.I WAS GOING THROUGH A BOX MY DAD HAD ASKED ME TO CARRY OUT (WHICH WAS NEVER UNUSUAL) BUT THIS ONE WAS FILLED WITH 'ALBUMS', OH YEAH, THERE WAS NEARLY ALWAYS ALBUMS. ANYWAY A FEW OF THEM REALLY STRUCK ME - ESPECIALLY ONE CALLED 'BONGO ROCK' BY PRESTON EPPS.AT THAT TIME, WE HAD A RECORD PLAYER (SOME OF YOU MAY REMEMBER THEM). AND I PUT EVERYTHING AWAY EXCEPT MR. EPPS 'BONGO ROCK'. WHEN I PUT IT ON THE TURNTABLE I KINDA FELL IN LOVE. THIS SONG SHOULD BE ON THE SOUNDTRACK OF ALL 'CHASE' MOVIES.'BORN TO BE WILD, 'WIPE OUT', 'PIPELANE' THEY ALL COME A DISTANT SECOND...AND I LOVE THOSE SONGS.I WISH I HAD A CD OF IT MYSELF. I PROMISE YOU THIS ONE SONG IS WORTH THE PRICE OF THE ENTIRE CD.ASK YOURSELF, WAS THERE A TIME WHEN A BONGO SONG WAS EVER IN THE TOP TEN? ONLY ONCE.HAS A BONGO SONG EVER BEEN NUMBER ONE? ONLY ONCE.AND JUST THINK, SOMEWHERE ON THIS MAGICAL CD YOU MAY FIND ANOTHER AMAZING BONGO ROLL STREAMING FROM THE AMAZING FINGER OF PRESTON EPPS. OR EVEN SEVERAL.AND IT REALLY DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT.GOD BLESSLLOYD"

IT'S OKAY

"THE SONGS ON THIS CD ARE OKAY, BUT STRICLY PEDESTRIAN BONGO MUSIC. IF YOU WANT TO HEAR SOMETHING BETTER, THEN LISTEN TO JACK COSTANZO INSTEAD."
