Jive Bunny And The Mastermixers – The Album

The Album is a 1989 compilation album by the British novelty pop act Jive Bunny and the Mastermixers. The album features a mix of medleys and remixes of popular songs from the 1950s and 1960s, all mashed up and reworked into new, high-energy dance tracks. 

The album was a commercial success, reaching No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart and becoming the best-selling album of 1989 in the UK. It spawned several hit singles, including "Swing the Mood," and "That's What I Like," all of which reached the top of the UK Singles Chart. 

The album features a total of six medleys, each blending together multiple songs from a particular era or genre. For example, "Swing the Mood" combines swing and rock and roll hits from the 1940s and 1950s, while "That's What I Like" mixes together soul and R&B classics from the 1960s.

The album was noted for its high-energy, party-ready sound and its appeal to a wide audience. It was also criticized by some for its reliance on existing songs rather than original material, and for its use of samples without proper attribution.

Despite these criticisms, "The Album" remains a beloved and iconic example of the mashup genre, and continues to be a popular choice for parties, weddings, and other events. It is also seen as a cultural artifact of the late 1980s, capturing the spirit of the era and its love of retro nostalgia.
