Notes from the compiler:

The discs....

There are SIX discs covering everything from the rare 94 east 12"s up to the latest "The Greatest Romance Ever Sold" Promo 12".
I have remastered most of the tracks that were on the original issue of this set with some tweaks here and there and as you'll note,
I added SEVERAL tracks to the discs making it THE definitive collection of rare 12" singles out to date, spread them out in chronological
order, and did a darn good job making this set sound better than ANY other set that has previously been tossed out there by a fan OR
official release!
This collection took me several years to complete as I took the upmost care in manually going in and editing out all pops, clicks, and noise
from the previous mastering jobs. Drawing out each and every click rather than using plug ins which kill attacks of vital sounds.

Track List is as follows:

It was on the 1-800-NEW-FUNK version of the Come On Maxi-Single.

^ thanks, this info is new to me.

Oh yes. i was just thinking possibly one of his best vocals ever. That falsetto into his deep register towards the end. lordy!

This is a pretty good set. However, I don't like "I wish u heaven" split into 3 tracks. Also. where are all the Batman remixes. Batdance, Partyman and Scandalous all had good mixes. It kinda falls apart on the last 2 discs. There are quite a few mixes missing. Again though, not a bad set to start with.

A must have... but u should know that there 'VINYL' sourced (Most of them, if not all)

Like a said... a must have...

The picture in this thread is from the first one... there is a version 2.0 (Same songs... so I don't know why there is a version 2.0... better vinyl rips??? Maybe someone here has the answer why there's a version 2.0???

Heres the picture of the version I got...



I've found out what's so different then on the first release...

Info: was on the .text file

...I have remastered most of the tracks that were on the original issue of this set with some tweaks here and there and as you'll note, I added SEVERAL tracks to the discs making it THE definitive collection of rare 12" singles out to date, spread them out in chronological order, and did a darn good job making this set sound better than ANY other set that has previously been tossed out there by a fan OR official release!

I remember him from AMP.

lotusflower said:

So, make with the info, cause there aint much there. What's added? and what's the differences?

OnlyNDaUsa said:

The bad thing about this set is that T purposely swapped the left/right tracks on some of the songs as some sort of "signature." I hate games like that.

jtfolden said:

can't you reverse them back?

Marrk said:

The track-list is posted by vc40 above (that's the one I've got)... like the info said; he just tweaked it a little bit... reduced the noise/treble on some of them...

awesome set.


only minor gripes about 2 things: why all that empty space on disc 2? and was that 94East stuff really necessary?. I know they're already easy to get on CD, but the Batman/Graffiti Bridge/etc. stuff would have been cooler. just to have it all on one release.


but really, they're great.

slightly in defense of vc.....

like i did-we could all add to the set

its the perfect starting point

i'd bet alot of us have these discs/12'' singles still anyway-especially the later batman gb and later 1's
