New Wave Outpost Forum

While looking for suggestions on the topic of 80s themed compilations a while ago, this particular bootleg series from Hong Kong
was mentioned as an example of one of the most saught after and indeed the best put together compilations of the kind.

Finally.....after some time, I managed to track down this elusive series......

.....the first four volumes in FLAC and the rest in 320kbps mp3s (for the time being)

Fantastic collection! Thank you Xymox!!

Thanks for share xymox

Outstanding work, these will be a massive help for compiling 12 inch singles for my shows on WLR, so thank you.

Thank You. These are excellent share.

Since my upload speed is unfortunately slow and connection not very stable,
I have to upload one disc at the time and not the whole Volume at once.

Volume Two coming up shortly.

The volume 4 (if i remember correctly) includes the "Dance Mix" and the unedited version of "Smal World" .

Thats right.......but I was much more impressed with that particular volume because of the Extended Re-Mix version of B.Some - Imagination.......one of my favorites from 1985.

So, apart from Dance & Dub Mix which are the norm and easily found, there are two more versions of Imagination on the compilation I have never heard so far.

yep you're right, then we have these versions:
Imagination Extended remix (5.52) Volume 4 CD 1 track 2
Imagination Dance mix (5.29) Volume 4 Bonus CD track 2
Imagintion Can you dig this mix! (6.32) Volume 3 disc 1 track 2

In addition to other versions such as the club mix, the vocal mix or the Tall Paul or The Beloved remixes.

.....so, just before putting up vol.02, here is the tracklisting for Volume One once again:

Links should be valid for 7 days, but because I have already uploaded the first two CDs of this volume to WeTransfer late last night,
and wanted to put up all the links for this volume simultaneously, make then 6+ days for the first two discs of this volume.....

Hope thats enough time for everyone.....

....Den Harrow - Bad Boy (Remix) is my guilty pleasure on this volume.....

Starts out great.....and last for cca 10 minutes.....the problem is.....nothing really happens for the final few minutes of this strange mix....
