Customer Reviews
Before You Think About Buying . . .
Here Is A Note From The Inside Cover Of Disc 1 By Dorian Wathen:
I should also point out that we do make every effort to locate the original 12" mixes of as many of the tracks as possible. This was quite tricky on the first volumes, as these tracks had laid dormant and unloved in dusty music libraries, and a few mistakes were made as incorrect versions were occasionally used and incorrectly marked up, only to be discovered too late... now as more and more of these 12" versions are coming onto the market on compilations and reissues etc, it has become a little easier to locate the various 12" versions, which is a great thing for all of us. We may have made an error or two even so (but we do try not to!)... and am also doubtly sure you'll point this out and correct us on an internet review site or two... we thank you for this...
12 Inch - Not etirely true
CD ONE Other tracks are 12 inch versions.
First of all this is a big plus
CD ONE 8. Wang Chung - Dance Hall Days (Remix) the 1989 Remix with Feetmoving RAP =).
CD TWO
1. Yazoo - Don't Go (Remix) Yes the first part 4:05 doesnt include the
re-remix version which is good cause the re-remix version is the somewhat the dub/instrumental part of the two part CD-single of Don't Go.
2. Bronski Beat - Small Town Boy (Extended Mix) NOT this is the 5 min album version (the extended is 9 min long).
6. Fine Young Cannibals - Johnny Come Home (Extended Mix) Yes it is 12" version the right one BUT this sounds like it was vinylripped with the crackle sound untouched... hmmm... I thought I bought a CD =P.
9. The Special A.K.A. - Nelson Mandela (Extended Version) NOT extended
and vinyl crackle sound present... *sigh* oh well...
10. Musical Youth - Pass The Dutchie (12" Mix) THANKS it IS 12" :).
12. Yazz - The Only Way Is Up (12" Version) The Original MAXI version.
NOW CD 3 THREE (Are ALL 12" Versions.... NO here is the list of errors)
There are 12 tracks present.
1. Steve Miller Band - Abracadabra (12" Mix) WRONG it is SINGLE Version
4. Diana Ross - I'm Coming Out (12" Mix) There is only an ALBUM Version
11. Kim Wilde - You Keep Me Hanging On (12" Mix) the 9 min long version
12. Jan Hammer - Miami Vice Theme (Extended Remix) It is NOT the Ben Liebrand remix I think DMC won't let that one go so easily to the public.
Still the question remains. Was it worth it.
With the few errors it is still worth the money you pay for it with a little reservation for the WRONG information on some tracks info of beeing 12" mix when in fact they are not 12" mixes... good thing I have them already... (...)
Not bad, could be better.......
A few good treats on here such as Dance Hall Days, Poison Arrow, Living on the ceiling, and Rip it Up. Not the cream of the crop as 80's music goes though (in my humble opinion), with so many class tunes from that era surely the creators could have done better than the Miami Vice theme, Yazz and Nik Kershaw to mention a few? Still, its alright to throw on at a party....... :.)
