Summer In The City - Quincy Jones

Advantages: Cheap to buy, good mix of music
Disadvantages: Some of the interviews are not very interesting

...that makes me cry, cry, cry". 10. Burn This Disco Out Here is where the album sounds old fashioned again. It's a funky track but references to "DJ spin the sound" and "burning this disco out" place it firmly in the 1970s. Tracks 11 and 12 are interviews with producer Quincy Jones. Interesting the first time around, but I tend to skip them now. 13. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough [Original Demo From 1978] This is a fascinating insight into MJ at work. Here him put this song together and see how different the end product sounded compared to this early stage. 14. Quincy Jones Interview 15. Voice-Over Intro ''Workin' Day And Night'' [Original Demo From 1978] 16. Workin' Day And Night [Original Demo From 1978] Again, this is a great insight into the structure of this song. Tracks 17, 18 and 19 are more interviews with Quincy Jones... Read review

...Some of the credit for this album has to go to Quincy Jones as well, the producer because he helped Jackson define his sound and create this, one of the best albums in the world. My favourite song on the album is Off the Wall and Girlfriend is a good song as well, it is a beatle song. Jackson uses his voice to full effect, there is a big soul and rock influence in this album and not so much pop, Jackson progressed into that. This album shows his full talents. The cover is good as well.... Read review
