I helped compile the Hardest Hits compilation CD's.
Are you asking exclusive mixes to the series or what only appears here and nowhere else up to this point on any other official CD ?
The only exclusive mix I'm aware of would be the '91 mix of "The Way Of Life" by The Puppets on Volume 1.
It's possible there may be a few others as the labels would sometimes not send the exact mix we were looking for and may have ended up with a promo only mix or two. By then it was too late to submit another request as it often took many months to get the mixes from the labels and didn't want to delay the releases any further.
Answering the other question requires a lot of investigative work, I would use the tools now available in Discogs to try and figure that out.
If I had one do over I would have included the version on the 12" of "92 In The Shade" ( Remix ) 6:02 by The West End Dance Project as it's a stronger mix. I thought that was the version ( 12" ) that was going on Volume 2. With the running time clocking in at just under 78 minutes for Vol. 2 perhaps that is why it wasn't used.
It would have been great to have always included the 12" mix for all the songs but either we couldn't get that mix from the label or space was getting tight on the release.
Unfortunately approx. 30% of the songs on both the Hardest Hits ( all 5 ) and Classic Alternatives ( first 3 ) CD series combined were not from masters and with it being the first half of the 90's an inexpensive way to clean up the sources weren't as readily available.
I left the company shortly before Classic Alternatives Volume 3 was released.
We did the best we could with what we had to work with.
Thanks
