Comment:RC: A hideous waste of time that could have been a great project. The only good thing about it is that Garry Shider finally got a solo credit, even if it was only one song. The CD is marred by the weak electronic production techniques that Clinton was using at the time. The album is dominated by drum machines and keyboards, with bass & guitar way down in the mix, if audible at all. Each of the different 'groups' consisted of assorted vocalists Clinton was working with at the time. The only interesting musical bit on the album is a guitar solo at the end of "I Want Your Car" (which is much more of a lame Runaways-type rocker than a funk tune). I'm pretty sure it's Blackbyrd.
The CD's title is a play on the old 'Our Gang/Little Rascals' TV show. The CD may still be in print, but it's not in wide circulation. But if you must have it , try and get it used. It's not worth shelling out big dollars.
