"If you're a serious Trammps fan you'll hate this CD. I've no idea who it is actually on the CD, but it sure isn't the Trammps. I hate giving bad reviews but this one deserves it. I've been a Trammps fan since the mid 70's and this sure as hell ain't them on the CD. This CD is a fake and should be avoided!Get yourself their Greatest hits or Disco Inferno and the latest one "Trammps [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]" which is a remaster of one of their first LP's. Just don't buy this pile of junk.I just wish it was possible to give zero stars."

Doesn't quite cover the ground

"The "Dance Fever" collection doesn't quite cover the ground of the 18 track Rhino collection "This Is Where the Happy People Go", which is a much better overview from a group that did disco long before it became a dirty word. Strangely the "Dance Fever" compilation starts off with several Thom Bell/Lind Creed smooth soul classics which sounds like they've been recorded not that long ago, and - as far I know - have never appeared on any of their "official" albums. Nevertheless - this IS the Trammps, but you have to listen really closely to the soundsamples presented here to recognize Harold & Stanley Wade and Robert Upchurch. Original member Jimmy Ellis was replaced by Jimmy Williams in the mid 80s."
