Any chance we can see a tentative tracklisting for volumes 2 & 3?!? I have some suggestions for songs too:

The Calling (Original European Version) - Ken Heaven
Dame Tu Mano (Extended Version) - Cetu Javu

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

Thanks Alex, really looking forward to Volume 2 and hopefully many more to come. [8D]

Hope this becomes the new Hardest Hits series. I remember reading on the last Hardest Hits that the next one would have Red Box on it. It never got released and I was really bummed up out for awhile. Great work so far Alex far on Retroative. I really
