      RIP Frankie Knuckles. He left a legacy here but if you ever got to hear him live you will know why he was so revered. One of the best.

        A technical comment only:
        81:47 for CD1 and 84:01 for CD2 !! Far beyond red book specifications.
        I was wondering why ripping those CDs in my computer didn't go well. Now I know: exceeding CD limitations along with poor pressing and a CD that gets scratched each time you remove it from the cardboard sleeve and those result in Defect-ed-ive Records.

          The best entry in the House Masters series. These 22 tracks take you through each FK era right from the very beginning up to the recent Director's Cut projects. There's a lot of incredibly melodic vocal tracks in this package. Highly recommended for fans of 90s and Soulful House, and a respectful tribute to Frankie's ing. The man definitely deserves a Volume Two.

              This is an amazing collection of house music. Sound quality is superb, booklet is well written, and the music is the work of a genius that was decades ahead of his time. Absolutely essential.
