Review

This collection of 12" tracks features remixes of Cameo funk classics, including "Candy," "Shake Your Pants," "Rigor Mortis," "Attack Me with Your Love," and, of course, "Word Up." Most of the remixes are simply extended groove sessions slipped into the originals, but many Cameo fans will savor the tracks; casual fans may find this to be overkill. The compilation also includes two versions of "She's Strange" and a previously unreleased mix of "Back and Forth." ~ Gina Boldman, Rovi

12" Collection and More is compilation album released by funk/R&B group Cameo in 1999. This 10-track collection is for the true fan of Cameo's funkier side, and can be viewed as a companion piece to the previous year's The Ballads Collection. This release is primarily for the hardcore fan, and may be a little much for the casual listener. Highlights include two versions of "She's Strange" and a previously unreleased mix of "Back and Forth."
