Have 'accidentally' come across a 54 track boot called 'The Dawn' which features typical mid 90's stuff from TGE, C&D etc.

But some of the tracks are different in length to the released versions and I can't find reference to said alternate versions in 'The Vault'.

What is this? Is it a fan-made thing, including the edits? Anybody come across it?

Here you go, very well fan made boot.
