One of the better comps to come out in the last few years. Will definitely grab this cd.

These were all songs that were played on cfny.

Yup! There was a 7" single with the edit of Nova Heart and Symmetry edit on the b-side. You are correct that this is the version on the flip of the Nova Heart 12"

Dr. Sex (12" Version) - Pleasure & The Beast
The Calling (Original European Version) - Ken Heaven
Dame Tu Mano (Extended Version) - Cetu Javu

Retro:Active2 - Rare & Remixed

Just a quick post. Thanks to everyone who has shown their support for Volume 1. Volume 2 is coming together quite nicely and should see a May release. It will feature many more amazing rare & remixed tracks so stay tuned!

Hello Alex:

I believe this would be Alex at the label?

Dave here (I used to work at SPG) you visited me at the SPG office while you were a student.

I was just wondering if you could tip us off to a few tracks that you have secured.

Thanks

Hi Dave!
Yup thats me. It's a bit too soon to give any actual tracks but I can guarantee that this one will be just as good if not better than Volume 1. I already have some special liner notes lined up and some great comments from bands and producers tha

Sean:

Red Box was mentioned in the liner notes of Hardest Hits Volume 4 of something that we wanted to release but couldn't. The reason was due to Warner controlling the track and wanting a guarantee of too many copies manufactured.
