Notes

BIEM/GEMA. Barcode: 8 28768 22312 3.

Tracks 1-4, 1-8, 2-2, 2-9, 3-4, 3-6, 4-1 and 4-4 are credited as 12" versions, but are album versions, although the versions on CD were released as 12" singles that time (no special remix was made for that format).
For track 1-5, both sides of a 7" single were edited together into a single track: first the instrumental version, then the vocal version. On the release the track is credit as "Part 1 & Part 2", but on Liebrand's website it is credit as "Special Liebrand Edit"
Track 2-1 is not the 12" version, but an edit of it.
Track 2-8 is the album version in "Philadelphia Classics", not the original MFSB "Love Is The Message" album.
Track 2-10: The Emotions are not credited.
Track 3-1 is credit as "Part 1 & Part 2" on the release, but on Liebrand's website it is credit as "Special Liebrand Edit form Digital Master"
Track 3-2 has no remix credit on the cover, except from the remix name in track title
Track 4-3 credited as One Way ft. Al Hudson
Track 4-7 is not the commercially available "Irresistable Angel mix", but an alternate version of that.

Reviews & Discussion

Review by GoodNF Apr 03, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)
Third in the series. This time some tracks that were expected ("Boogie Wonderland", "Can You Feel The Force", "Contact", "Get Down"), but also some interesting surprises.
As I took notice of a "Blaze Shelter DJ Mix" of "Fantasy" for the first time, I went hmmm (knowing Blaze from their house tracks and mixes). Is this a house mix? No, it isn't. It was mixed in 70s style: the track was deconstructed and rebuilt using the original sounds.
When I first listened to "Madmen's Discotheque", I could not believe this was a Dutch production being a US club hit.
The inclusion of the live version of "Brick House" rather than the 12" version looks like an error, but this is because of Ben Liebrand's personal memories.
