Ben Shaw ‎– So Strong

For some reason the Fire crew decided not to add the Original Mix to the cd single, which in my opinion is sad since this version is the most groundbreaking and innovative. But “So Strong” was also put out on 3way/PIAS in the Netherlands as a 5 track cd single (so the rumour says anyway) including the four full versions of the song plus the Radio Edit of the original. It was put out in very, very limited numbers.
A 1 track (Radio Edit) and a 2 track (Radio Edit + Sander Kleinenberg Mix) promo cd single also exist.

In 2002, after trying to find the 5 tracker all sorts’a places, I thus dropped PIAS a mail to find out if they could help me locate it. They couldn’t… (they actually replied, but only with a “Sorry, can’t help” kinda answer) In February 2003 I then tried the Discogs Music Forum to see if anyone could help me there. No luck there either…

Or no luck in the beginning it turned out, ‘cause on the 26th of March 2003 I received a mail from Ben Shaw himself offering me a cdr with the full length Original Mix!!! He had read what I wrote on the Music Forum!!!
After some mails back and forth between the two of us I, on the 7th of April 2003, received a 6 track unmixed audio cdr from the man himself containing full length works by Ben Shaw/Sunscape.

Thanks to Ben Shaw, Discogs & the World Wide Web!!!
