Okay, let me get this straight. You listed (in the second part) the actual times from your actual Sampler Experience cassette (after you converted to digital, obviously). These differ from the list that someone else posted--what is that list reflecting? Are some of them listings for full versions that (based on your cassette) were not actually included on the promotional cassette, which instead had just snippets of those tracks (like Get Loose and the Madhouse tracks)?

The first track listing is probably the in-house sampler which had the full-length tracks. The cassette is just the excerpts.

The madhouse tracks were just... cool. totally cool tracks, Michael B really added a lot to everything he drummed to in that era.

EddieC all I know is that the top tracklist is what somebody put as the official track times other cassette tape that was released out but when I got my tape converted to mp3 that clearly wasn't the case and I thought I would let everybody know the true track times since nobody else has posted about it. however, the fuller track times that are posted in the top list have landed on many bootlegs!

Got ya--that would make your timelist legitimate (it is the actual promo), while the other is some sort of construct with people substituting full versions from other sources.

I timed it too 5 years ago when working on 1995 on the discofgg and came-up with pretty similar results: https://sites.google.com/...raphy/1995
