First Ever CD Release Expanded with 6 Bonus Tracks Re-mastered from the master tapes Liner Notes by Justin Kantor Southern California's funky female quartet Krystol garnered a respectable following with radio listeners and club-goers in 1984 via their debut LP, Gettin' Ready (FTG-294), and its single releases "Same Place, Same Time" and "After the Dance Is Through."

She began working with Krystol immediately in order to learn material and adapt to the group's established sound
