Just got this CD. The fidelity of the tracks is a very great deal poorer than what you get from the standard compilations. It is stereo (though occasionally you wonder about that), but the sound is tinny and "small." I listened to Cheryl Lynn's "Got To Be Real" on this CD and then again on another CD I own, "Platinum R&B; Party". No comparison the latter blows away the D 'n' D track.This CD is cheap used for a reason. Only get it if there is a song on here you can't find anywhere else conveniently (I bought it for "Work To Do" by the Isley Bros. and "Instant Replay" by Dan Hartmann, both iconic disco-era tracks not available on too many various artists CDs.
