The overdone "New York New York" from 1983 seems to gain strength from the better stuff before and after it. The brilliant "The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel" more than sustains its lasting properties and introduces the first instances of sampling and scratching.
Despite all of the offerings, not surprisingly the best songs here are the original extended mixes released in the early to mid-'80s. Greatest Mixes adds a new wrinkle in the tried-and-true greatest-hits sets by including some new mixes of Grandmaster Flash favorites, rare original extended mixes, and some unreleased tracks. As Rhino did two compilations in the '90s, this one appeared in 1997 and was released on the English label Deepbeats.
