Notes

"40 Great Tracks At An Unbeatable Price!!! Over 3½ Hours Of Digitally Remastered Music!"

(P) & (C) Death Becomes Me Ltd 1995 (printed on discs)
E-mail dbml@cityscape.co.uk

Packaged in 3 jewel cases in a cardboard slipcase.

Errors/variances in tracklisting:

1-01 is credited to Formula 7 & Ray Keith on box and inlay. Ray Keith appears only as 'Remixer' on the original release.
1-03 is miscredited to another Tim Taylor alias, Egyptian Empire on the box and inlay. Tim Taylor is the artist named on the original release.
1-04 is listed without remix title.
1-11 is listed incorrectly on the box and inlay as 'Push Up The Levels (Carl Cox Remix)'. Correct title is 'Made You Dance (Carl Cox Remix)'.
2-01 is listed incorrectly as 'Breakbeat Pressure' on the box and inlay. Track is actually 'Respect To The Following' from the same 'Breakbeat Pressure EP (Part 1)'.
2-03 is listed as Armageddon Countdown (Blatant Remix) and track 3-04 is listed as Carear Come First (Widgy Grub Remix), supposedly taken from The Uniqe Beatz EP Intense Remixes. However 2-03 is a recording at an incorrect speed of the track on CD3, Armageddon Countdown (Blatant Remix). The track at the correct speed is not in full either.
2-04 is listed as 'E.Z. Life' which is actually a name variation of the label this track was originally released, Easy-Life Recordings. Also, on the original release TDK is not mentioned at all.
2-06 is listed as First Prodject 'Right B4 Remix' on box and inlay. The track is actually Mystery Man's 'Love E (Remix)'. Strange one this, as this is the highly sought after and unreleased breakbeat mix which was released by Ninety Two Retro in 2010.
2-11 is mislabelled as 'The Criminal (Top Buzz Remix)' on the box and inlay. When in fact it is 'The Criminal' original mix in edited form.
2-12 is listed on box and inlay as 'Atmosphere'. Full title is 'Atmosphere (Sub-Base Field Mix)'.
3-02: full Remix title is 'Pornography '94 Remix' on original release instead of 'Pornography Remix' as stated on box and inlay.
3-04: track title on original release is 'Murder Style' as opposed to 'Merderstyle' on box and inlay. Track has noticeable vinyl clicks.
3-06: is listed incorrectly on the box and inlay as 'Twisted Brain'. Correct title is 'Mental Patient (Out Patients Mix)'. Both appeared on the same vinyl release and looks to be the cause of the confusion.
3-12 is listed without remix title.
