Description
• Four fantastic Cameo albums: ‘Knights Of The Sound Table’ (1981), ‘Alligator Woman’ (1982), ‘Style’ (1983), and ‘She’s Strange’ (1984) in one gloriously danceable funk-fuelled double CD package.

• Cameo was the brainchild of producer, drummer, and singer Larry Blackmon, who joined forces with the New Jersey singer Tomi Jenkins in 1974.

• The first of the four albums to feature on this package is ‘Knights Of The Sound Table’ which was a huge commercial success. It spent three weeks at No. 2 in the US R&B Albums Chart. It also rose to No. 44 on the American Billboard Top 200 chart, maintaining Cameo’s crossover appeal. It features the track ‘Freaky Dancin’’, a Top 3 US R&B hit.

• The second album ‘Alligator Woman’ was the first Cameo album recorded in Atlanta. It was preceded by the first single ‘Just Be Yourself’, which spent 15 weeks in the US R&B Singles Chart, peaking at No. 12. An infectious slice of new wave-tinged Minneapolis-style punk-funk, inexplicably, the song appeared on the album with a shorter title: ‘Be Yourself’.

• ‘Style’, the third album in this set was Cameo’s first on their newly founded label, Atlanta Artists imprint. It also marked a further change in the band’s line up, leaving the band as four funkateers: Blackmon, Jenkins, Charlie Leftenant and Nathan Singleton.

• To complete this fabulous package is the Gold certified ‘She’s Strange’ slbum. The single of the same name entered the R&B Singles chart in February 1984 and by April, it had risen to pole position, spending a month at the top spot.

• The ‘She’s Strange’ single raised Cameo’s international profile by giving them their first UK hit, reaching No. 37 during its two-month British chart sojourn. The world was finally beginning to sit up and take notice of Cameo.

• This package includes sleeve notes by journalist Charles Waring.
