Cameo - Word Up!

Why hasn't this album been reissued with bonus tracks and extensive liner notes? This is one of the most pivotal albums of the 80s, and its effects are still being felt 2 decades later.

The opening 3 tracks alone --Word Up, Candy, Back & Forth-- are a salvo of blemish-free studio wizardry married to the off-kilter and infectious funk vision of Larry Blackmon.

Speaking of Larry, he and the guys need to get a damn website up already.
