Greatest Hits

Like every other group on Dick Griffey's Solar label, L.A.'s Dynasty could thrive with both ballads and dancefloor-aimed singles, while retaining the kind of pop appeal that was the label's stock in trade during the '70s and '80s. Only the group's second album, Adventures in the Land of Music, truly rose above the "two-to-three highlight singles and just enough satisfactory material to fill out an album" status, so this retrospective, originally released by Unidisc in 1994, comes in handy. All the group's best moments are here in one spot, including "I Don't Wanna Be a Freak (But I Can't Help Myself)," "I've Just Begun to Love You," "Here I Am," "Love in the Fast Lane," "Check It Out," and "Something to Remember."
