Shalamar will always be the s**t. Uneven comp, though. With the exception of "This Is For The Lover In You," all the tracks are uptempo dance numbers, making that "Ultimate" title a misnomer. (Shalamar DID know their way around a ballad.) Could use a more imaginative cover, too. This one is a mirror image of their 1982 LP "The Look," only a different tint. But these are the songs UK fans know best.

Looks like they didn't license "Dancing in the Sheets."

Which is strange, since Spectrum did license that track for the single CD Shalamar comp they released three years ago:

The "classic" Shalamar lineup is Jody, Jeffrey and Howard. "Dancing" was the first single after the breakup.
