Part of the Collectables label's budget "priceless collection" series, this is a typical overview of the Sugarhill Gang, though it's not all that close to definitive. No-brainer inclusions like "Rapper's Delight" (a five-minute edit or the 15-minute original), "8th Wonder," and other charting singles like "Kick It Live from 9 to 5," "The Lover in You," and "The Word Is Out" are featured. Unlike some budget anthologies, this one just doesn't cut it since the track selection is questionable otherwise. (Both "Apache" and "Showdown," for instance.) Discs put together with a little more care -- such as Rhino's The Best of Sugarhill Gang (1996) or the same label's briefer The Essentials (2002) -- would be preferable to this. ~ Andy Kellman
