I can find lots of downloads but I really want to find the CD:

The only 1 of the series I've not been able to find yet. Any leads are appreciated. Thanks!

Yeah, been trying to find that National Velvet song.....and extended Luba? Wow!

You can get it from Amazon Marketplace, if you don't mind paying over $100 for it:

I do have this CD, as well as volumes 1 and 2. I think the only one I've seen more than once is Volume 1, the one with the sunglasses on the cover.

The extended Luba is edited, so not really extended

. But the full version is on the "Over 60 Minutes with ..." CD.

I have vol. 1, 2 & 6 too. The other ones aren't really worth having. These three are and the sound quality is flat out amazing. I was lucky to find vol. 6 at the end of last year for $15. That was the last time I've ever seen it listed. It's got the most rarities. Too bad they didn't continue releasing this series.

$15.00 is a great deal! I agree it's too bad this series did not continue. There are a lot of good, obscure songs on these.

I fear that the chance of future CD releases of obscure '80s songs is getting lower and lower all the time, rapidly approaching zero.

I'm kind of kicking myself for not buying stuff like Luba's Between the Earth and Sky CD about five years ago, when a used CD store was closing out. A lot of CDs from Canadian artists are so hard to find, especially the late 80s stuff. I passed up Men Without Hats' Sideways, too :-(

I'm too late on finding a copy of this as well. I heard Minutes From Downtown's "Heaven Street" today on an online radio station out of Alberta, Canada. I loved it. I think that I had heard it once before years ago but forgot about it. "Pure Canadian Retro 80s - Vol. 6" is very hard to find now. After doing quite a bit of research, I don't see it listed for sale anywhere online. All the download links are dead, too, from what I can see.

Anyhow, would anyone happen to have "Heaven Street" from Minutes From Downtown in a lossless format to share from this compilation? Thank you.

[:0] You are too kind and awesome! Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate the upload of not only the song but the compilation as well. [:D][:D][:D] Please let me know if there's anything that you want.

Edit: Listening to "Heaven Street" now. It sounds excellent! Great sound quality! Great song! (I had been listening to a mediocre sound YouTube clip). At last!

Here's the vinyl rip of the whole EP, for those who like to hear the other songs on it.
