No, just those MP3s. I was lucky that the dude was nice enough to rip the CD for me. BTW, the track numbering I made up. There weren't track numbers when I leeched them, so I just sorted them in chronological order.

Hey Alex,

For the next volume...
How about the Mastermind Turntable mix by Scritti Politti, I had this on a cassette from a friend.

Word Girl 12" extra
The Word Girl
Llimited Edition
Mastermind Turntable Mix of
WOOD BEEZ / ABSOLUTE / HYPNOTIZE

This would be awesome, old school medley with samples.

DVD was discussed at one point but licensing video is a whole new ballgame. Maybe one day.

 enjoyed volume 1-4 very much, so I can't wait for no 5... just a question, did you ever consider to come up with a dvd as well? there is so many classic 80es videos in lockers that will otherwise possibly never see the light of the day...

Too bad you weren't down in Southern CA Alex. I'd love to come and work with you on these projects. [:)]

I was absolutely thrilled with volumes 2, 3, and 4 of this series but extremely disappointed in volume one as well as this latest #5. Better luck next time!

by **fritzb** » Fri Apr 07, 2006 5:52 am

Wow! I'm really looking forward to this one. "More To Lose" and "The Picture" are fantastic tracks - long overdue on CD. [8D]

by **Synthpopfan** » Fri Apr 07, 2006 10:20 am

Thanks Alot Alex. Volume 5 looks FANTASTIC. BEST REGARDS [:)]

Yeah but it probably won't stop you from buying it [:)].

by **pinkyblue82** » Sat Apr 08, 2006 3:12 am

Well, obs, you got me there. Upon closer inspection, I decided there were a few keys tracks worth getting it for. So number one was the only real stinker for me. My apologies, Alex. Thanks and keep up the good work!

by **yipyipcoyote** » Sat Apr 08, 2006 3:20 am

I (and probably everyone else on here) hope that it will sell enough to warrant a Volume 6 [8D]

by **Alex Hush** » Sat Apr 08, 2006 3:28 am

That's the spirit! These cds are very hard to compile in several ways. From getting licenses, masters, quotes, then doing the balancing act of what new wave fans want while considering the commercial appeal, makes it a challenge. Not a bad thing, but every time a track is added/removed the entire cd changes, so in many ways more thought goes into the overall compilation as opposed to just putting tracks on a cd.
Keep in mind that we always venture to keep the series as the focus, so when RA6 begins, all the tracks on the previous volumes are taken into consideration in order to make the series stronger and not always trying to make that particular one 'the best'.
Personally I think RA1 is awesome - whoever compiled that must be a freakin' genuis!
