The frustrating thing about the Ultra Lounge series is that it wets the appetite for the whole albums. Some great vintage albums are represented by only a couple of songs in the entire UL series. Its like looking at a guat warehouse through a keyhole. But don't get me wrong, I have my UL CD's in heavy rotation!

That's pretty much how I feel, but maybe that's not a bad thing to get more people into the genre. For me, the Ultra-Lounge series has been like a useful roadmap to the world of collecting vinyl of that era. And one thing I've noticed about the series is that there are relatively few records represented for how many songs there are (i.e. almost every song on Terry Snyder's "Mister Percussion" LP is featured throughout the series.) It's too bad that they don't release the entire record in its original form but then again who would buy it (except me and maybe I Zombie from Jet Set Planet.)
