If I'm not mistaken, there were also 2 box sets released - GU01:11 which contained the first 10 CDs plus Transmission 00:1 DVD, and GU12:21 which contained the next 10 CDs plus Transmission 00:2 DVD. I don't own them anymore but my old lists of items suggests the codes were GUPACK1CD and GUPACK2CD respectively, and there doesn't seem to be anything on the net about them either. So if anyone has anymore information please add this box set to the GU Series.

Love this label and lately have been enjoying collecting the cassette sets. If you have any to sell, please let me know! Especially looking for Sasha - Ibiza, Oakenfold - Oslo, Digweed - Sydney & Hong Kong, and Nick Warren - Budapest. Hit me up!

The original GU002 is the cassette release of Tony De Vit's Live In Tel Aviv release, with cat# gu002t. It wasn't until the series 4th release, Tony De Vit's Live In Tokyo, that they added the numbers to the title. It was numbered 005, most probably to match the cat#.

Still a great list, but some things need to be put in perspective.

The US sets started with John Digweed's Sydney sets, which were actually GU006 everywhere else. The US list complicated many, many things, including the list above. By virtue of that list above, the GU002 by Paul Oakenfold from New York is actually the true GU007, and if you compare the track listings of 002 and 007, they are identical. In my search around, I've never actually found a GU002 (other than in the US), as the list goes from 1 (Tony de Vit's set in Tel Aviv) to 3 (Nick Warren's set from Prague).

IMO, GU002 should be removed entirely from the list above, and all lists should reflect the original (non-US) numbering scheme, not the (temporary and now defunct) US scheme.

The golden standard of mix CDs. They were the best and the greatest before Fabric, DJ-Kicks, Balance, or any other wanna-be came around.

Global Underground is built around underground dance music. It started off with trance, it continued with progressive house and tech house. There's a variety of styles and Global Underground has been very accommodating in this regard - perhaps too much so.

If you're looking for the best mixes in the series, these are the universally acclaimed ones:

GU007 Oakenfold New York
GU010 Tenaglia Athens
GU013 Sasha Ibiza
GU017 Tenaglia London
GU019 Digweed Los Angeles
GU023 Warren Reykjavik
GU027 Howells Miami

Sadly, they have gone a whole different path nowadays, featuring some artists with a very commercial sound and some artists who simply may not belong in the series because of the music they play. I don't appreciate it - this is not a series for your mainstream house and trance anthems.
