i would love to re-post the mixes again but can't for the moment at least. my primary (no pun intended!) external hard drive is in the shop and i'm praying that all of the files on it - my entire music collection - will be restored. i've hooked up my secondary/ backup external hd, but when i copied my primary to my secondary it didn't retain all of the filetags. it saved most of them, but for those 1,000 or so tracks missing info... it'd be a bit of a needle in the haystack to have to correct them. and by them, i mean 83,000 or so tracks to sift through. major, major ugh. so... i'm going to wait and see first in hopes i can save myself literally months of painstaking file corrections (was told i should know by this weekend whether or not what the shop can salvage - just a few more days). if they saved it all, i'll be able to repost by early next week. sorry for the lengthy message. dj phoenix: i'd heard rumor a year or two back that supposedly the cure will reissue/ remaster at some point (who knows if/ when) the 1990 'mixed up' compilation with at least one bonus disc (but they'd really need two by my count, anyway) that would contain all of the original remixes from "primary" through "never enough". cross those fingers! i have a decent transfer of 'in orange' (imho) on cd & dvd and 'staring at the sea' on dvd i did years ago from the laserdiscs, but any interested parties would have to wait till my computer/ hd stops having "issues"! on a tangent: will we ever get the song "killing an arab" remastered?
