I didn't want to enter into the discussion of the legality or morality of MikeP's NWO SoW 200 mp3 compilation but I did want to comment on the contents.
What a treasure trove! Dozens upon dozens of good to great songs that I haven't heard before, with a few I already have in my collection and, best yet at least two that I heard and liked back in the day but had completely forgotten.
The fist of the latter category is "Say You Will" by Blanket of Secrecy. I think it got a bit of radio airplay around here, but I'd completely forgotten it. BoS has no entry in the online Trouser Press Guide. Check out their unusual entry at allmusic.com - their name is very fitting.
The other until-recently-forgotten gem was Tim Scott's "Swear" which a friend once put on a long-lost tape for me. Good song, even if the guitar riff sounds like it was stolen from "Beat It".
I've been collecting songs I liked when I was young for several years now, so the euphoric experience of hearing something again after decades has passed doesn't come very often anymore. And I still haven't listened to nearly all the stuff on the discs. Lots to look forward to.

It was during a websearch for Blanket Of Secrecy that I found this site.
"Say You Will" is an incredible song. Glad to hear you rediscovered it!

Seems like there are two versions of Say You Will - one is a bit slower, and the other version is just a bit faster. I prefer the faster version.
I've not heard all the songs from the Walls have Ears LP, but the songs I have heard are very good:

I know there is a 12" version of the song, but other than the usual extended remixing, it doesn't sound to be faster of slower than the lp version (at least to me). Maybe just different sources or turntable speeds?
IMO, the 12" version is better, and
