Various - From The Past, Present And Future Vol.2

There is justifiable confusion surrounding this release. Milestone Records initiated 2 separate yet not clearly differentiated series: Original Masters Disco and Original Masters Past, Present and Future. Both series feature obscure disco, electronica and rock tracks. THIS release - PP & F Vol 2 - is correctly tracklisted (however the track timings are mostly completely incorrect), but confuses the issue by ALSO stating that it is Disco Vol 2 on the spine. I think the previous reviewer actually purchased the Original Masters Disco series Vol 2, which of course has a completely different tracklisting. Despite making some great, obscure tracks available, Milestone has done a very shoddy job with these reissues. There are no liner notes to speak of yet the tracks are listed 3 times, and the sound is very compressed, LOUD and sometimes from dubious sources. All up: a hatchet job.

I had the same problem. Vol 2 is actually Vol 3 in this series. This is the correct tracklist: 01 Fuhrs Frohling - Happiness (3:00) - 02 Via Afrika - Via Afrika (6:06) - 03 Yellowman - Strong Me Strong (5:18) - 04 Monyaka - Go Deh Yaka (6:36) - 05 King Sunny Ade - Synchro System (6:14) - 06 Ofra Haza - Galbi Rmx (7:25) - 07 The Pool - Jamaica Running (3:43) - 08 Xr7 - Xr 7 Instrumental (3:55) - 09 Koto - Chinese Revenge (6:21) - 10 Liaisons Dangereuses - Los Ninos Del Parque (5:36) - 11 Mike Anthony - Why Can't We Live Together (7:30) - 12 Nina Hagen - African Reggae (6:21) - 13 Yellow Power - Queen Of Scots (3:21).

I just bought this release from Juno and was listening to it the car on the way to work - awesome tunes from the early electronic pioneers. One problem though the tracklist is completely false - every single track is wrong and i don't mean they are in the wrong order. Not one of the tunes listed appears on the album and i have cross checked 12 of 14 on youtube. Take track 10 for instance which is the one that originally raised my suspicion as i have it on vinyl listed as 'Mike Anthony - Why Can't We Live Together'
Check Juno for mp3 samples - i would love to know what the real tracklisting is so i might email the record company.
