DJ Jim: I agree with DJ Mike in that any compilation with 12 good songs makes a good CD. Although very few of these songs will go down as all time favorites for me, the CD is certainly  acceptable. Overall. the CD has a very 70's Soul sound which I find in much of General Johnson's music. Personally, I don't care as much for this sound. I think this CD was produced specifically with Shaggers in mind, but there are Boppers all over the country, and I don't think they will find this CD exciting. I'd also rate this CD a "B".

This CD will be available from Beach Music suppliers or directly from Surfside Records at the following web site at http://www.surfsiderecords.com

DJ Mike: This song is a great version already drawing people to the dance floor. Only out since SOS, it’s an old Larry Graham song. DJ Jim: I agree, this is the sound of Myrtle Beach. This is definitely a Shagger’s song. Our dancers would probably hear this song as a Cha Cha but I really like it. Shaggers will love it.

DJ Jim: I like this song. It has a very different sound and is probably more suitable for Shagging than Bopping. It’s slow and sultry and doesn't sound like your typical beach song. DJ Mike: As a dance tune I don’t like this one. It has a very 70’s sound typical of General Johnson. It may work at the beach but probably not for our club.

DJ Mike: This song is fun to listen to, again very 60’s or 70’s, but I don’t see it as a danceable song for Boppers. DJ Jim: I agree, very 70’s sound but I don’t think it will make Boppers want to dance. Shaggers might like it but I don’t really think it works well for them either.

DJ Mike: This song is fun to listen to, again very 60’s or 70’s, but I don’t see it as a danceable song for Boppers. DJ Jim: I agree, very 70’s sound but I don’t think it will make Boppers want to dance. Shaggers might like it but I don’t really think it works well for them either.

DJ Mike: This is another song which just doesn’t cut it. It’s cute and happy but not a dance tune. DJ Jim: I don’t think the vocals are very good on this tune. I agree with DJ Mike, it’s kinda’ happy but not one of those songs that just makes people get up to dance. I probably wouldn’t play this one at all.

DJ Jim: This is another song with a distinct 70’s sound but I'm not sure Ilike this song much. Terri Gore has some great songs but I don’t think this is one of them. DJ Mike: This was really hot at the beach and many of the Shag DJ’s say this is their favorite song on this Cd, but I don’t hear it. Maybe it needs to grow on me and I’ll try it out on the Bop crowd, but right now, I don’t really care for it.

DJ Mike: This one I like. I never thought I’d be Shaggin to Led Zepplin. This song is ok straight up but DJ’s might want to speed it up a bit. DJ Jim: I like this song. I think The Breeze band has produced some great music and this looks like another winner. I agree with DJ Mike, this is Led Zepplin’s “Whole Lotta Love” , but it’s a great re-make for Shaggers and Boppers.

DJ Jim: Another good beach group. This is a good Shag smoothie. It doesn’t really reach out and grab you but it has a very nice sound. Has a bit of a Cha Cha sound. Probably better for Shaggers and West Coasters. DJ Mike: Good song and it’s nice to hear from The Kays again. I think the vocals sound a little muddy, almost like the lead singer is in the backround. A nice Smoothie.

DJ Mike: This is one of my favorites on this CD. As re-makes go this is one of the best I’ve heard. This is an Al Jareau song and is another 70’s song but I think most dancers will like it. Jackie Gore is faithful to the original song’s sound. DJ Jim: You’re right Mike, very 70’s and probably better suited as a Hustle although Shaggers and Boppers will also dance to it.

DJ Jim: Boppers will probably like this song. It’s not an artist I’ve ever heard of but it’s credible. Overall I think this song is just ok. The original was never a favorite of mine so this one isn’t going to be either. DJ Mike: Of all the songs a singer could re-make why this song. Why…why…why?

DJ Mike: Once again a 60’s or 70’s sound. I like this song but I can’t see it as a dance song. DJ Jim: This entire CD has had a 70’s disco sound and I have to say that is not one of my favorite eras. I don’t really like this song. It begins like "Shaft". I think the Shaggers could dance to it but I don’t see it being a great song for Boppers or Shaggers.

DJ Jim: This song has a Cha Cha sound and would probably work well as a Shag Smoothie but Boppers won’t find it fast enough for them. Once again I find the song lacking. It doesn’t make me feel like dancing at all. DJ Mike: The Breeze is one of the best bands on the beach music scene and they prove it once again with another great Shag Smoothie.

DJ Mike: This is a terrific production with great vocals. I can’t believe it’s the same artist as Beach Boogie DJ. I love this song and I’ll probably play it every time I play. It has the makings of a beach music classic. DJ Jim: Smooth, beachy, the Shaggers will love this one. Great sound, and as DJ Mike says, a beach music classic. This one will be around for a long time and will be high on the request list.

DJ Jim: Once again a song for the Shaggers  or West Coasters.  The beat isn’t very strong so I don’t think Boppers will like it that much. They’ll dance to it but it won’t be one of their favorites. DJ Mike: I agree, Boppers won’t like it very much but overall I think it’s a great song and I think it will be a hit with Shaggers.

DJ Mike: This is a John Hyatt song who is a rock country artist. This song shouldn’t even be on this CD. I don’t think it has any style and doesn’t seem to fit any particular form of dance. DJ Jim: Couldn’t agree more. This song doesn’t make me want to do anything but fast forward to the next song. I can’t connect it to any type of dance either. Sure doesn’t sound like beach to me.

DJ Jim: Finally…a song for Boppers. Great back beat, this one will get them out of their seats and onto the dance floor. I like this one. DJ Mike: This song is good  and I agree the Boppers will love this one. Hits hard. This is the same artist who did Collard Greens and that was a great Bop song as well.

DJ Mike: This one I don’t like. This sounds like a bad bar song. It has a nice beach sound so the Shaggers will probably like it but I think it’s too generic, just filler music. DJ Jim: I know what you mean, it’s not a bad song and it definitely sounds Shaggy. It’s got enough of a beat to get Boppers on the floor but I agree that it sounds like filler music, just something to take up space on the CD. It’s not one of my favorites.

DJ Jim: Oh Yeah, this reminds me of ShakinStevens and I LOVE "Shaky".  "A Love Worth Waiting For" is one of my all time favorite songs . Our Boppers might Cha Cha to this one but you can Bop to it. I like the sound of this song. In fact it might be my favorite tune on this Cd so far. DJ Mike: Good song. I like it but of course it’s a Cha Cha. It’s a nice change of pace for Nicky Harris and it works well. I agree with DJ Jim, this does remind me of Shakin Stevens.

DJ Mike: I like this song a lot. I think it has a lot to say and it’s one of the few good dance tunes that seems to carry a positive message. Good for dancing and good for the soul. DJ Jim: I hear you, most of our music is about drinkin' and chasin' women, not exactly the best message to send. Once in a while someone writes something a bit more inspirational. It’s also a pretty good dance tune. I like the sound. It’s a bit slow for Boppers but Shaggers will like this one.
